Assignment 3 Who is the Proposer?


" A Modest Proposal" is a essay written in a satire form by Jonathan Swift. During the time of this piece of writing there was nothing but war, poverty, over-populated living and jus all around bad living. There was a certain point where someone just has to say no and come up with a plan to change the way of the life that these people had known of, but no one could have expected the proposal they got. Jonathan Swift was the proposer in this situation and the audience was the people that he was proposing to , the people that were living this way. Did the audience listen to this proposal? No one has ever actually said if they did or didn't, but they did mention that this idea was totaly ridiculous.
