Tom Swift

During the Romantic Period, authors Jonathan Swift and Lady Mary Montagu were well known masters of satire in their literary works, although they publicly despised each other. The Lady’s Dressing Room, a misogynistic poem published by Swift in 1732, prompted Lady Montagu to pen a scathing response, titled The Reasons That Induced Dr. Swift to Write a Poem Called the Lady’s Dressing Room. Both poems are strongly satirical works, however, the writer’s uses of satire vary in their portrayal of gender

I wake up to the sound of my radio alarm turning on. I hear “Good Morning beautiful city of Louisville Kentucky, it should be a nice day out. It’s going to be partly cloudy with a high of 52 degrees and a low of 44 degrees. It’s currently 7:01 am this morning and I’ll get back to you after the break.” Right at that I click the button to turn it off. I get up and get ready for school and I hear my mom yell “Emma come down and eat breakfast when you’re ready!” After I get ready I walk down stairs

swiping the sweat off her face the girl continued to do the rest of the dishes from that night. The kitchen smelled like a mix of cleaning supplies and food that was cooked that night. Grabbing the silver wear and throwing it into the red tray and sliding it into the huge dishwasher that seemed like it was big enough to wash hundreds of dishes all at once. A minuet later the dishwasher was done; after, the girl put away the dishes and got her paycheck. it was Saturday which meant pay day and Taylor

point when a great many people have an issue with the way something is being done they come ideal out and say it clearly. Jonathan Swift tries an alternate approach keeping in mind the end goal to demonstrate his dismay with how Ireland is being run and the nation’s absence of thoughts on the best way to illuminate the social issues that are influencing it. Jonathan Swift, an eighteenth century comedian and writer, composed the exposition "A Modest Proposal" as a mocking approach to indicate individuals

Swift when faced with a humanitarian crisis, a tyrannical English Empire, and a strong divide between social classes, uses his pent up agitation to develop a piece of satire which both compels and shocks those who read his work. “A Modern Proposal” is centered around the idea of cannibalism. In Swift’s reformation of Irish society a new division of laborers would be created labeled “breeders”. These “breeders” would raise infants to the ripe age of one, and then sell them to the wealthy to be slaughtered

Satire can be used in many ways, although it is not always done in a convincing manner. Only a knowledgeable and creative writer can influence people through this device. Satire often uses humor to show a current problem, and in most cases, it does not provide a solution but is the catalyst for it. Emotions on the topic are prompted and in turn the audience connects with the writer and the conflict at hand. Throughout history authors have wielded the literary devices of satire to convey a message;

They also shouldn’t be getting mistreated, but should be getting treated with kindness and compassion. During the 1700s in Ireland, there was major things going on in the country that was being overlooked. After years of watching those poor people and children suffer, he took matter in his own hands. Johnathan Swift decided to write about it and describes

His kingdom is being destroyed by a monsters and Beowulf uses his power and bravery to annihilate all of them.

Everybody is an Outsider Ezra Miller once said “Everybody feels like an outcast because the world is so large and every fingerprint is so vastly different from one another, and yet we have these standards and beliefs, and dogmatic systems of judgement and ranking, in almost all the societies of the world.” We are all part of a bigger picture, and we are tiny when compared to it. Everybody is looked at through these types of judgement and ranking without their knowledge of it. It happens everywhere

my story told through different lenses; this helped me try and expand on my writing style and adapt to writing in a college setting. For my Taylor Swift assignment, I took very detailed notes on the music video to try and help me get a good idea of exactly what was going on. I then decided to have my main focus on the dark spots on Taylor Swifts career. I decided to focus on these because most of the music video focused in on her past and how it has changed her to be a new person. In the video
