Jonathan Swift’s, “A Modest Proposal,” addresses the
need to care for and guide the next generation as they will, one day, be the
leaders, thinkers and doers of tomorrow. If we do not do all in our power to
ensure the quality of life for the children of today, then the quality of life
for tomorrow is in question. In Swift’s
satirical essay, he explores the possible benefits of using the poor population
as a breeding ground for the express purpose of taking the children, at one
year of age, and eating them. The cannibalistic suggestion is grotesque in
nature, but captures the attention of the Irish citizens and brings attention
to the need to work to bring the country back to rights.
This is an analysis of Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" that I enjoyed.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI really agree with your second sentence. The only thing I didn't pick up from your thesis or paragraph if was an effective or ineffective argument. I think your off to a good start though.
