Didn't you read through the information I posted for you earlier today?
Do you need help with the information or the planning/writing of the essay?

You've received some good sources for satire and for Horace. Please study those.
You could begin with a definition of satire. Then state how Horace used this genre to make his points.

You also asked about this back in August. Has it been assigned that long?

You start by reading the sources and taking notes on them. Please do not try to write something without knowing what you're talking about.

This is an excellent website that will lead you through the writing process. Don't skip any steps.

This, too, will take you through the process, including researching.
You should probably include a concise paragraph about Horace's life in general, including the fact that he wrote in other genres besides satire. This section, however, should be brief and to the point. The focus of your paper is Horace as a satirist, so you'd concentrate on what he wrote that is considered satire and what he was satirizing in then-Roman times.

A side note.
When we were studying in Italy several years ago, we visited the remains of Horace's villa. The only other person there, aside from our small group, was the caretaker. Although I don't understand Italian, the caretaker mesmerized us for an hour by reciting some of Horace's poetry.
