Proposal Swift Swift's
352 words
Jonathon Swift assumes a few key ideas throughout
A Modest Proposal. It is unquestionably assumed
through the essay that anyone would be willing to
give up and sell his child as nourishment. It is
presumed that the reader would not hesitate to
accept the ideas of cannibalism and barbarism. If
this is not understood, it is hard to read the
piece without bias. I have found through careful
reading that the illustration of the proposal is
not just an instance of the heartlessness between
humans, but...

... ld remain pure. The true sense of the word
pure as defined by Zondervan Study Bible is, to be

For preventing the children of poor people in
Ireland from being a burden to their parents or
country, and for making them beneficial to the
public (44), we should rid ourselves of them by
our own consumption. We should bake them, fry
them, or serve them in a fricassee or ragout.

Potato Famine Tenant Farmers

In 1845, Ireland suffered through a potato famine
that killed over two million Irish. History has
taught us to believe that those two million died
because of a fungus that caused all the potatoes
to be bad. The guilt doesnt rest with the fungus,
but with the myriad of problems before it. The
potatoes should not be blamed for those many
deaths. Several people or organizations could have
prevented them. The most prominent government in
the whole world, at that period, was the British
Government. T...

important issue. Sexual abstinence was the normal
society lifestyle until the late 1950 s. Most men
