A modest proposal questions

1) Swift uses satire and irony to create the author.
2).to call attention to abuses inflicted on Irish Catholics by well-to-do English Protestants.
3) The reader begins to realize this story is ironic about halfway during the essay.
4) The irish are victims to him and he also believes that they are to blame.
5) Swift does present serious topics. When he said stuff about the irish men and how they are living on the streets that was not suppose to be a satire moment it was suppose to be a fact.
6) The narrator breaks it down into satire, irony, and then the last paragraph actually talkes about what swift believes in.
7) The moment that the narrator wanted to create for sure had a moment of impact that the author wanted. The last paragraph the author stopped being funny and actually talked about what he wanted to say and the importance it had to him.
9) the word modest in the title is used a joke i think because it defiantly is not modest so i think the author wanted the readers to pick up on that it is not a joke, it is a serious issue.
10) In the essay, there are so many sentences used with sarcasm. I think the whole essay is sarcasm except for the last paragraph.
11) The modest proposal has political issues more than contemporary issues because it talks about all the rich and poor irish people living either on the streets or in really rich homes. you can not be just in the happy medium.
