Summary: A Modest Proposal

The implied thesis of Swift’s “A Modest Proposal" is that 18th century Ireland would be in a better situation if the Irish society and monarchy actually treated problems such as overpopulation and poverty, While the overt thesis is that Irish people should consider eating their children and selling them to rich Englishmen to solve the issue of poverty and overpopulation in the country. They differ form one another as one focuses on eating children, while the other focuses on giving commentary through the essay itself.

When Swift is describing the use of children as commodities, it is ironic because his intentions are to actually explain that the English view the whole Irish population as commodities. The English landlords are the ones responsible for Ireland’s poverty. The essay shows, through sarcasm, that the English have purposely took everything from the Irish because they view them as commodities. One example of sarcasm used to portray that idea is that the utilization of infants will be “proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children” (804). It is very apparent that Swift blames the English for Ireland’s problems. He also blames the Irish Catholics that allowed English policy to break down Ireland.

Every time I visit my grandmother in Georgia the temperature can never be right. It is always too cold or too warm. This is a problem for someone her age because she is constantly having to adjust the thermostat; furthermore, to squint at the small numbers and dials is tiring and frustrating. Her internal temperature needs to be maintained, and constant fluctuations provide no benefit to her health. If her temperature drops too low it can cause infections and illness. If it rises too high it can cause fever, dehydration, and heat stroke. When 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is not sustained the problems become endless.

A college degree is becoming increasingly more valuable with many decent jobs requiring some sort of higher education. As more students prepare to enter college, many are faced with the escalating prices of not only tuition, but also other things such as textbooks and the cost of living. This problem has been especially prominent in California, particularly within the last month, due to the UC regent’s new and controversial plans for an in-state tuition increase of five percent in five years. With the rising prices of tuition many students must turn to student loans. These loans often get them through the expensive costs of school, but after they graduate, they are left with a substantial amount of debt to pay off. I think we can all agree that something must be done in order to stop students from having to pay these ridiculous tuition prices while still being able to get a quality college education. The answer actually lies in a system used decades ago, known as indentured servitude. If we want to create economic stability for future generations to come we must give them proper access to a college education without the worry of tremendous financial debt. In order to achieve this, I propose that any student will be able to attend a university free of charge, but after graduating must be given to an owner who will dictate their work, where and how they live until they finish their service which will range from fifteen to twenty years, depending on the

God has been believed to be that being which is all good, all knowing, and all powerful. St. Thomas Aquinas in, The Five Ways—Question II, Third Article, responds to two specific objections which aim to prove God’s nonexistence. The first objection rests upon the notion that if one of two contradictions are infinite, the other cannot possibly exist. That is to say, if God does exist, there would be no evil in the world because God is believed to be infinitely good. If he were all good, all knowing, and all powerful, he would be more than capable of creating and maintaining a world in which no evil exists.

Based on the testing information provided, Trevor has academic deficits in the area of reading comprehension and mathematical skills. To address his weakness in mathematics, particularly multiplication facts, a recommendation would be for to Trevor to utilize a picture template to aid in his memorization of the multiplication facts. Each number is incorporated into a visual appealing picture and then placed on a chart. Since numbers are abstract, rather than concrete concepts utilizing a picture template allows for a memory and mnemonic device to aid in the recall of multiplication facts. Another recommendation would be to allow Trevor to utilize the fact sheet or a calculator to aid in the computation of mathematic problems or word problems.

According to an article written by Jason M. Breslow, as of 2011, children had the highest poverty level with over 16 million children living in poverty. That is just in the United States. Imagine the number of children living in poverty in the entire world.

Since the beginning of the 19th century, America has had to deal with the on going

Crime occurring on campus at The Ohio State University is taken extremely seriously by faculty, students, and parents alike. It is a sensitive issue with numerous different opinions on how it should be handled. Some people believe in knowing as much specific information as possible about the crime and suspect, while others believe the release of this information will just lead to witch hunts and may negatively affect some students due to a multitude of reasons including ethnicity, background, or race. My plan is to discuss these two points of view and some psychological evidence that supports both beliefs.

“A modest proposal” is a thesis that utilizes spoof to build their point. A spoof is an imaginary effort that hits or pushes enjoyment at vices, abuses or nay other defect. Spoof may build the student snigger at, or realize aversion for, the individual or thing spoofed. The major goal of a spoof is to stimulate readers to remedy the trouble under discussion. The major tool of the humorist is oral sarcasm, an image of language in which words are utilized to scorn a human being or thing by handover a sense that is the conflicting of what the words say.

In Jonathan Swift’s satire, “A Modest Proposal”, Swift writes about the starving people of Ireland in the early 1700’s. He makes a wild and absurd proposal to help remedy the problems of overpopulation and poverty. Swift wants to make a political statement by using the “children” as satire to grasp the attention of the audience - the English people, the Irish politicians and the rich – and make them aware of the political, moral, and social problems. In “A Modest Proposal”, Swift’s arguments are presented effectively by using pathos (emotional appeal), ethos (ethics and values), and logos (logic reasoning and facts).

Times were hard for the inhabitants in Ireland during the early eighteenth century: overpopulation, economic deficit, and countless people were living on the street, begging for either money or jobs. There were people trying to find effective solutions to all of these problems, but to no avail. In 1790, a man named Jonathan Swift submitted a proposal to the upper class of Ireland with answers to the questions they had been asking for years. He entitled it, “A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of the Poor People in Ireland from Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and for Making them Beneficial to the Publick.” In his essay, Swift criticizes the wealthy and the nation as a whole of their ineptitude to act on the situations

A Modest Proposal was written by Jonathan Swift in 1729 to shed the light to the weak and poor Ireland. He used satire and over exaggeration to boast and show the world what is the reality of their country. It is a proposal to mend and save the fallen country. In “A Modest Proposal”, Swift described the condition of Ireland's poor economy and lifestyle by giving it a macabre and grim aspect.
