Spritemares exist in out of the way, untouched forests deep in the ancient wildernesses. These giant beast are protectors of fairy portals and fey royalty, and are seen on their crests on the rare occasion someone is lucky.. or unfortunate.. enough to meet the fey. They are the embodiment of the forest the portal resides and the magic of the fey-world. They are relatively docile, and they can enter and exit the fey realm at will.

For instance, today, we see class bias against the poor in the way we promise help through the welfare system, only to make it virtually impossible for an individual to better themselves, due to the limitations put in place when seeking outside employment;

Jonathan Swift, like any human, has his views on money, which is one of the aspects that he used to connect with the audience through this passage: “Whereupon I was at much pains to describe to him the use of money, the materials it was made of, and the value of the metals; that when a Yahoo had got a great store of this precious substance, he was able to purchase whatever he had a mind to; the finest clothing, the noblest houses, great tracts of land, the most costly meats and drinks, and have

“Bean si” means “woman of the hills” in Irish. The Irish woman of the hills is a banshee. A banshee is known to foretell a death, whether it be yours or someone you love.

Often a tall, thin middle-age woman, a banshee should be considered a monster not because of her intentions, but because of her purpose, to foreshadow

constructs a ridiculous essay which he titled “A Modest Proposal”. He wrote this proposal to illustrate how backward the economy and standard of living are in Ireland, but also how his proposal could improve the economy and standard of living for the Irish people. Swift proposes that the babies of the poor will help the wealthy of Ireland, these babies will be used to supplement their food source by being eaten. Now they will no longer be a burden on society but now they will help contribute to the

destitute population of Ireland. However this is quickly called into question when it becomes apparent that the sale of destitute children for consumption by the British elite is his proposal. Although not explicitly said, the English cannibalism of the Irish poor implies that the current economic issues that Ireland is facing is directly caused by the actions of the English elite. Furthermore, Swift is saying that the English elite might as well be killing these children because of the embargo that England

Through satire, Jonathan Swift expressed his views in a blunt and morbid manner towards a repugnant virus that infected without mercy and caused sorrow in every soul it reached, poverty.

Among these many successes, his father also opened up his own practice, and founded St. Mark’s Ophthalmic Hospital, and built it entirely at his own expense. On the contrary, Oscar’s mother wrote poems for the weekly Irish newspaper, and was also a profound lyricist. Through out Wilde’s entire life he was scrutinized for his sexual practices

entitled "A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People From Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Public" mocks heartless attitudes towards the poor, as well as British policy toward the Irish in general. A friend of the narrator’s, “a very worthy person,” has already heard the proposal and suggested that children of fourteen, too, be a potential food. The writer has dismissed this idea, though, because the flesh of fourteen-year-old boys
