A modest proposal

A modest proposal
By Jonathan Swift
As this author starts out he has a tone towards which it seems he hates the beggars and he thinks they should be doing something else. He begins by showing the example of a mother with five or six children begging at a certain place and that it really doesn’t matter because what her children are growing up to be is useless thieves, soldiers or even sell themselves as servants. Once that introduction is done I as the reader noticed his sarcasm as he begins to talk about his proposal about making children food. Through his proposal he explains many voluntary abortions will be prevented. He continues to say that he has been told that a child at a year old is most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or broiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in franchise or a ragout. The author really makes his point and usually even adds statistical fact like actually convincing these people eat children. In the end he concludes that he is only trying to do a service for his country and helping the poor, while at the same time giving a little pleasure to the rich. Then he says that he has no child to sell and that wife is no longer of breeding age.
