In Biddeford there have been women that were well- known in many different ways, from a journalist, to mayors, to a woman who created a women's association in Biddeford. Although this person may not have done any of these things or is the most famous or well known woman in Biddeford history, she is someone I have looked up to every single day since I was born, my mom, Kerry Mariello. Although she didn't have as large impact on Biddeford history with her actions as others, she is just as…

Jonathan Swift's anonymously wrote the modest proposal was to end the food shortage in Ireland and feel the hunger crisis within stimulating the exchange and regulating the overpopulation of poverty of the poor. However, the author deceives the readers implying the idea came from an acquaintance from America stated how tasty infant’s meat was delicious and tender and the special way the chef prepares by basted, stewed, baked, boiled and roasted. Therefore, the baby skin turned into beautiful…

Saul told his son Jonathan and all of his attendants to kill David. However, Jonathan really liked David and warned him. Jonathan told David to be on guard the next day to go hiding and stay there and he’ll talk to Saul about him and find out what he thinks. Jonathan spoke well of David and said that David has not done anything wrong to him and what he did do was benefit him. Jonathan included that David was innocent and he even risked his life to fight Goliath. Also, that the Lord won a great…

I chose to do my project on the Pyro board which is an adaptation of the Rubens tube. The Pyro board uses fire to demonstrate sound waves. I chose this as my project because I find music and fire fascinating. Having them interact to demonstrate the physics side of sound helped me understand all the different aspects that can effect sound waves and alter the way we interpret them. Before I started to build my Pyro board I did research on how they worked why they worked and why the flames reacted…

In 1729 in Ireland during a time of economic struggles a man named Jonathan Swift wrote and essay entitled “A Modest Proposal.” This essay he wrote told the solution for Ireland to gain money and stopping any famine is simple for all we most do is eat the overpopulation of children on the land. He goes on to say that poor beggar children will be easily fatten up and brought to the butcher to be properly cut to be sold to Ireland's rich and hungry. Bring down both the unemployment rate and the…

In the late 1720s, many of the Irish people lived in poverty. Many of them, children included, starved to death on a regular basis. Johnathan Swift noticed that nobody wanted to do anything about it so, he decided he would create a proposal to make people really think about and realize how bad the problems in Ireland were. Swift's ridiculous proposal suggested that the Irish eat their own children, of course he didn't really mean it, he was using that as a way to show the irony in the fact that…

Historically, great animosity has existed between the Irish and the English. A Modest Proposal was written by Johnathan Swift in 1729 during a turbulent period in relations between the Irish and English. This essay relies on satire to state Swift’s opinion on both the Irish and English. He makes the extreme proposal of having Irish children be sold as food to the English to solve economic and social problems in each nation. Swift grew us in a unique situation due to being born to English parents…

Jonathan Swift wrote a satirical proposal to poke fun at society. I think this work is interesting because Swift chose a very extreme subject to get a metaphorical point across. In this proposal Swift has rationalized eating babies and made it seem as if it was a sincere proposition. The essay is very convincing, and I have the feeling that someone of low intelligence would take this proposition into consideration. Jonathan Swift’s intentions were to raise awareness of the unfair treatment…

The genre of the prank “A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift is it is a satire. The prank ironically mocks the poor individuals in general and he states that individuals who are born poor must take initiative to help themselves out of their own troubles. The satire is expressed in the the subtitle “For preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland, from Being a Burden on Their Parents or Country, and for making Them Beneficial to the Publick” (60). The sub-title indicates that the writer…
