“A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift is considered highly satirical. Swift's proposal to solve the menace of hunger through the sale of poor children to rich people is highly satirical. He claims that the practice of selling children will solve the problems of poverty since the nation will be depopulated. Its spotlight explains the proposal in depth, describing Irish children as the equivalent of cattle whose carcasses are used to produce women's gloves and men's boots. The reason the Irish eat their babies is mocking in the sense that it satirizes people who make absurd claims in the name of solving a problem. As a writer, Swift satirizes himself by asserting the lack of economic gain from his altruistic works. Jonathan and other artists of the era used satire in an attempt to address Ireland's deplorable conditions of poverty and the widening gap between rich and poor. By avoiding the conventional way of approaching similar issues, these artists were able to attract a lot of attention.Chapter 11 Discussion #2My parents and I had gone to visit my aunt who lived in Philadelphia.
