HW Short Analytical paragraph

How to Pay for a Baby – Analytical Paragraph 

The article “How to Pay for a Baby” by online author Kool A.D. is an informative, entertaining and strange enough, a political text. The author Kool A.D. uses slang, explicit language, metaphors, and other literary devices to convey a humorous advice column on how to pay for a baby, that overlays his main objective of, criticizing America’s capitalist ideology. 

The article is conveyed as a lousy and unreliable piece of text, but when dissected you see, Kool A.D., uses this mask, to cover and show us, the readers, criticism of America’s capitalist ideology. He uses slang and explicit language mostly, to convey this message. He doesn’t use it to directly confront capitalistic ideology but to skirt around it. The whole article is a metaphor, and the author uses this language to try to connect to younger audiences. He makes references to pop-culture such as, Netflix and Jordans, and also uses a different  dialect and regional dialect reflects demographics from American adolescent teenagers and young adults, because that is his target audience. The very last sentence, “The kids are the future, we can do it.”, Kool A.D. directs this to us, the readers and our future children, saying we can stop these capitalist ideology if we work together.
