Struggling to Craft a Humorous Piece Without It Being a Dud? Challenging, Isn't It?
In the halls of the newspaper, The Spire, a wicked oligarchy consisting of four sections - News, Opinions, Features, and Sports - reigns supreme. Amidst this hierarchical structure, the Eggplant section, a satire column, finds itself often overlooked and misunderstood.
This week, the Eggplant Edition, a special issue where writers from every section attempt satire, takes centre stage. The column, known for making people laugh, is not considered real news. Yet, its importance to its readers is undeniable.
Dennis Liu '22, the author of the third article he has penned for the Eggplant section, admits to not being a good writer or disciplined. However, his contributions have not gone unnoticed. His latest piece, shrouded in mystery, questions the fair treatment of the satire column by the other sections.
Despite the lack of specific information in the search results, it is clear that the Eggplant section faces an uphill battle for recognition. The editors of News, Opinions, Features, and Sports have issued a message to the satire column, referring to it as a "joke." Yet, the Editor-in-Chief has also acknowledged the column's humour, calling it "very funny."
The satire column's struggle for acceptance is not new. It is often ignored by the other sections, a Quasimodo-esque brother left out of the grand ball. Even a new satire magazine, which plagiarised content from the Eggplant, failed to gain popularity.
As the Eggplant Edition graces the pages of The Spire, one can't help but wonder if this is a step towards recognition for the satire column. Or, as some speculate, could it be a ploy to contain the column's growing influence? Only time will tell.
In other news, King Richard the Lionheart is the Crusader of the Week in the Features section, while hundreds of students gather to observe the grass on the Hoval increasing in height. And if you're curious about Jo's new coat of paint, well, some students are busy watching it react to the air.
