The word home can have many different meanings depending on the person. To me, it used to mean the place where I was raised. It was where my parents brought me home from the hospital as a newborn and where I grew up, developed, and felt most like myself. But the word home lost this meaning for me, after my house went into foreclosure. Now the only meaning that home has is that it is just the place where I reside. There is no replacing my old home with any other; it was mine. After moving, my new…

Jonathan Swift uses this exact same technique in “A Modest Proposal” to ridicule William Petty’s plan for Ireland in “Political Arithmetic”. William Petty’s work outlines a plan that would allow England to manipulate Ireland’s people and land to improve English wealth and prosperity at the expense of Ireland’s sovereignty. Swift mocks Petty’s dehumanization of…

Philip Antohi Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal," In his short narrative ‘A Modest Proposal,’ Swift has perfected the art of using humorous writing techniques to address the audience.

However, as the story progresses, it becomes increasingly apparent that Swift’s solution is very ridiculous and out of touch with the modern world. After reading the whole story once…
