Most poems that I have read over the summer semester, has not been as humors and justified as the poem called “A Modest Proposal”. Jonathan Swift was not the kind of man who was a lover of people, most people would have called him a misanthrope. He had many friend and it was not because he told people he was a hater of mankind. I think it was because he was a funny person. When he wrote the “A Modest Proposal” people were hungry and there were no real resolutions to the problem. If someone did have a great plan they were not brave enough to express those ideas. Swift was quite correct about finding a solution to starvation. The idea of eating people was all wrong but funny. I wonder if his poem made people realizes that there was a problem
