Jonathan Haidt

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. Swift’s clever use of irony and analogies shows the corruption in society and makes the audience aware of their unjust behavior. Swift’s use of irony in the title draws the reader in but gives them the opposite of what they were expecting. He uses “A Modest Proposal” when he is really laying down an…

I stared blankly at him having second thoughts about my decision. It was a Tuesday, after school, during a chilly afternoon in the hump between Winter and Fall.
