Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” is a very interesting take on how the Irish government should cure the famine that the country was then facing. However, the entire proposal was completely bizarre, and the whole point of the essay was to bring attention to the idea that they needed a solution to the all the problems they were experiencing but the proposal was definitely not it.

points across to the table is by utilizing irony, sarcasm, and satire. Writing, much less releasing the “Modest Proposal”, was a difficult task to take on. As previously stated, it was not an easy time for Ireland. The government was corrupt, the Catholic Church was being abused and poverty was high. Swift obviously wanted to find a solution for these problems. This is where releasing the book was proven pivotal.

1. Nationalism fuels William’s actions to seek self-determination for Scotland; as a result of nationalism, William actively seeks freedom. Out of his sense of duty and sacrifice for the nation, although it began as a personal matter of the English killing his wife, he leads an initially successful peasant revolt against the English men, in order to be free from their clutches. For instance, before the Battle of Stalingrad, William inspires the peasants through a persuasive speech of how the English

William Butler Yeats was a great Irish poet of the twentieth century. During his lifespan World War I occurred, along with its resulting political upheaval.

He thought that this would be an excellent way for children not to be a burden on their parents but be beneficial. Swift even went on to write a pamphlet telling the parents just how
