The expression “Hello” is heard on a daily basis. This creates the question, what is implied in a “Hello” is there something to expect in return or does it come naturally? The primary Rhetorical appeal that exists in “Hello” is Pathos. In addition, the usage of Pathos relies on emotion. Actions determine whether or not something is earned. Greeting a person with “Hello” insinuates care and respect toward them. In order to obtain a “Hello” back depends on how it’s been expressed. Greeting “Hello” with a smile signals a person that they are being gladly addressed. However, Greeting “Hello” with a straight serious face defines how the acknowledgement is being forced. However, the Rhetorical appeal that has a poor connection to the expression
The speaker is a Protestant member of the Irish upper class, being Protestant in Ireland would also imply that the Swift sympathizes with the British that ruled over Southern Ireland at the time. The British are oppressing the poor of Ireland greatly. The Irish who need to remove themselves out of this fallacious situation, leads him to his proposal, even though he claims sympathy for the predicament of the poor Catholic population which is the majority. Therefore he also holds an arrogant opinion of them, believing they are expendable since they are not bolstering themselves out of this dismal situation. He is vigorous to itemize the advantages of his proposed project for the elite, who would likely be called upon to execute it. Swift implicates
A Modest Proposal is a deeply ironic and humanistic essay by what it denounces. Swift proposes that the poor of the country sell their children aged one year to those who will be able to afford this "delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food". This provocative proposition denounces the selfishness, inhumanity, and injustice of political economy: if the poor are devoured, figuratively, by politicians and the rich, as well as propose that they are also literally. Exclusion becomes ingestion. It also reveals a certain conception of the human being whose reason and common sense are doubtful.
While one child receives a new gadget, another receives even more hunger. Although that truth is difficult to swallow, the reality is that there are a few children born into wealth and many others into extreme poverty; worst part is that the vast majorities of those children later lack even the tools to change their situation. An even more gruesome reality is the one that Jonathan Swift faced when he wrote his Modest Proposal in his native Ireland. Besides the lack of wealth, there were many issues such as mothers who were not allowed to work for their needs, or the handcuffing feudal system. Then there was the discussion of how the greed of today is literally destroying the Earth and our children in the process. Such that the children cannot share their gadgets in one country and others share their little food in another country. But Jonathan did say he was open to any other ideas, maybe our present time has the tools to end this inequality. If nothing
After reading A Modest Proposal, I had mixed feelings about Jonathan Swifts story. I noticed almost immediately after starting the story that Swift utilized humor. In addition, the era that Swift was writing his story in was a time of crises for his country, Ireland. Consequently, this could have resulted in many people writing letters on how they could improve the country. Therefore, in my opinion, I think that that his proposal was just a satire piece out of frustration. Irony also had a key role in this work. This can be seen with the title of the story, A Modest Proposal, as his plan is anything but modest, and additionally can be better linked to barbaric. I was also amazed at how much detail that Swift put into writing his proposal.
Jonathan Swift wrote A Modest Proposal, and showed that Ireland had an issue with famine and overpopulation. His proposal essay was very gross and disgusting, but it solved the issue that he was conveying. Swift’s piece is effective because children are vulnerable, it creates mental pictures, and it accuses everyone in their society.
A Modest Proposal was Jonathan Swift’s response to the deplorable conditions faced in Ireland. Swift’s writing brought light to the economic and social issues facing the public in an outlandish, contemptuous, and somewhat humorous way. Cannibalism, as Swift suggests, was a practical solution to the crisis’s faced during the time of his writing. Such a morally outlandish concept uses exaggeration as a tool to relay his argument, making his satire highly effective. The use of satirical responses can elicit change and provoke thought through self-reflection, humor, and criticism.
Pathos driven messages appeal to a person’s emotions, and can often bring out emotions that can reside in them already. There are lots of ways to see them in our daily lives; on the Internet, the radio, or the television. An example of a heavily pathos driven message is UNICEF USA: Save a Child for Only 50 cents a Day.
"A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift is a satirical essay that is focused at exposing the dreadful life the poor citizens of Ireland had to go through.

Evoking an emotional response from the listeners of the orator can be a very convincing technique. This method is known as pathos. The usage of pathos is plentiful in both
The rhetorical appeal of hello is pathos. It is pathos because the word pathos pertains to emotion. you show emotion when you say or someone says hello to you. When a special someone says hello for the first time you quickly panic and all sorts of emotions cross you. It may be happiness or shyness. But if it is your girlfriend or boyfriend you may in love or love is what you are feeling, but if its someone like an enemy you may feel mad, or "hate". The rhetorical appeal that less pertains to the word hello is logos . logos corresponds to the appeal of logic you are not really persuading anybody. you do not talk them into saying hello to you. you don't give them explanations its their deception in the end. the rhetorical appeal
During the late seventeenth century, political pamphlets were distributed throughout Ireland to promote the ideas of various intellectuals and laymen. However, many discarded them and did not pay attention to them. Jonathan Swift, author of “A Modest Proposal,” takes lead for these unnoticed pamphlets and builds a proposal he thinks would help Ireland economy. A Modest Proposal is an ironic example that presents the attitude of rich towards poor and their starving kids. Jonathan uses various elements like metaphors, repetitions, irony and parallelism to focus on destructive defiance of the writing. Jonathan swift starts by blaming the mothers of these children that they should start working and get some earning to support these kids. He also foretells the future of these children that they will turn into thieves or sell themselves to foreign countries for money. According to Swift, it is just because the parents did not train their children the unassertive way of life and could not give them a proper lifestyle. In “A Modest Proposal” Jonathan Swift does not blame the shortcomings of Ireland on the people. He says that the people, politicians, and English were all to be at fault for the terrible state and poverty of Ireland. there are three factors that make Swift’s argument not serious: the tone of the author, his insincerity, and ridiculousness of the proposal.
Pathos is often employed in an attempt to win over the audience with emotion of some kind. While logos utilizes facts to convince an audience of an argument, pathos is utilized by speakers to entice an audience with their argument. By understanding the use of pathos, I can better understand how emotional appeals affect an intended audience (Lunsford et al. 95).
The world we live in today is complicated, it is a complex world filled with many problems. People have struggled to deal with these problems in their quest to make the world a better place. Jonathan Swift, an incredible writer and a successful economist, was one such person. In his famous essay “A Modest Proposal”, Swift attempts to bring attention to the plight of the Irish people. Swift was frustrated by the whole situation, but was particularly infuriated by the English’s lack of morality and inaction. This man risked his reputation and more importantly his life in an attempt to help the people of Ireland. Like Swift, we live in a world with many problems and many people who desire change. Swift expresses his views in order to improve a difficult situation with political problems similar to the problems of today.
