Analysis The book, “The Irish Way” by James R. Barrett is a masterpiece written to describe the life of Irish immigrants who went to start new lives in America after conditions at home became un-accommodative.

The bottleneck effect of people was so dreadful that all the Catholic families of Dublin were not able to support their own children. Due to these conditions Swift writes this proposal to end the kingdom’s issues in a serious

resonate with the entire nation of Ireland instead of being left at the sadness of one man. These thoughts are motivated by Mr. D’Arcy’s singing that evening, and to some level, Gabriel is contemplating his own mortality.
