Imitation is one word that explains the act of copying someone's actions.
We have a bunch of words that reflect the various forms of copying. We don't have any copyright act here to restrict us. The more actions copied the better applause one gets under different labels. First let us start with the word Mimicry.
Mimicry has origins in Greek language that stands for mime. Mime means a performer who silently imitates gestures and expressions of others. But mimicry includes sounds too. Imitating the voice of peculiar politicians, actors, animals or any sounds around us in order to entertain. It could be either humorous or satirical or both.
If imitation is done at personal level, to attain satirical satisfaction then we call it mockery.
Next level of Mimicry is Parody.
A parody is a work created to imitate, make fun of an original work. Humor is created by the satirical or ironic imitation of the original work.The subject, author, style or any other aspect of the work could be aimed at to create entertainment for the viewer or the reader.
