Assignment 6 Beneficiary of Proposal

If this proposal was accepted as a way of living in my opinion the people that would benefit would be the adult eating the children. I say this because, one the parent would not have to provide for the job therefore stoping poverty. The people also eating the children would beneifit from it because eating the children would stop the population growth rising at a rapid pace. Although both these statements are true, I still believe that this proposal is rediculous and hits a overwhelming high point of canabolism. If anyone in the world at any point in time agreed to this prposal are very sick people and need serious help....

Assignment 5 Identity

In the time of his essay A Modest Proposal , Jonathan Swift believed that poverty, famine and overpopulation in Ireland is all because of the of the families having babies and then they cannot provide for them. So because of this the babies were doing nothing but just overpopulating the area and which soon ultimately lead to poverty and famine.

Now the potatoe Famine was pretty much caused by mainly two reasons. The potatoe famine happened because a disease spread throughout Irish's most important and main crop area, the potatoe. Almost all the potatoes in the area went bad. Thankfully since the english oppression the nation could get food from other areas. Some poor people were so starving and desperate for food they ate rotten potatoes, which in turn just lead to the people getting sick or dying.

Assignment 4 Irony

Irony is a statement that taken in context, may actually mean the opposite of what is written.

Jonathan Swift's Essay A Modest Proposal for preventing the children of poor people from being a burden to their parents, or coutry, and for making them beneficial to the public. The tract is an ironically conceived attempt to " find out a fair, cheap and easy method for converting the starving children of Ireland into sound and useful members of the coommonwealth. Predominantly Catholics, across the country were poor and living in squalor due to the overwhelmingly poor families who can't provide for their kids. Jonathan Swift argues for a way to turn this problem into his own solution. His Proposal, in effect, is to fatten up these undernourished children and feed them to the families. This in my opinion is ironic because the parents were supposed to provide for the children and in turn the children provide for them.

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.

Assignment 2 Social and health issues

The social and health issues going on in "A Modest Proposal" are many.
The social problem in this satire written essay is that people that are not financially stable to take care of children are still having them. Therefore, increasing population by high numbers. Higher population soon leads to poverty. Which lead for an idea of a way to stop high population and poverty. This is where this essay " A Modest Proposal " comes in. This man named Jonathan Swift came up with this proposal that the people that bare children they cannot take care of canbe eaten which will inturn stop populatin growth so rapidly.

Now the health issues when it comes to this situation is ridiculous. I mean think about it who would dare think about eating thier own family members let alone thier own children. This is not only retarted but it can cause many health issues. Eating another person will in fact make you sick and get different diseases. I personally think this man was a very sick man for even thinking of doing something like this. That's just my opinion. =)
