At this time the Protestants and Catholics did not get along. The Protestants did everything they could to prevent the Catholic religion from growing by depriving them of what American’s see as basic rights today. This issue was crucial for Swift…

Doctor Jonathan Swift wrote a proposal to help the poverty of Ireland to make light of the societal problem in Ireland. Swift writes satirically about eating children to the people of Ireland.

Lucassen focuses on the role of independent religious, economic, and political differences, as prime movers in both the development and dissipation of xenophobic beliefs that swept France and England in the late 19th and early 20th century. Although Lucassen presents a strong historical recollection of social relations that led to widespread nativism, he oversimplifies the root causes of xenophobic sentiment, focusing too intently on singular elements instead of the additive nature of the…

1. The speaker seems to be a man who resides in the upper class section of Ireland who believes in the Protestants over anyone else in the country, hence his attitude towards the poorer people. 2. The tone of this work tends to remain rather blunt and at the same time has a professional and serious quality, which in turn makes it seem more real. For example, when he first proposes the idea of using children as food, “a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious…
