Any changes to reserve? Wandering the streets of Ireland means crossing a country full of depression, as this is one of the most frequently asked questions of the many beggars on its streets. It is the combination of the English, overpopulation and the rich Irish landowners that causes the poverty and melancholy of the population. The dire economic and social conditions that disenfranchise the Irish prevent them from providing sufficient care for both themselves and their children. Many parents, unable to work for their honest sources of income, are forced to spend all their time begging. Meanwhile, their children grow up to become thieves or emigrants. Author Jonathon Swift has proposed a "modest" solution to this ongoing problem. In his satirical essay “A Modest Proposal,” Swift actually argues that the Irish deserve better treatment from the English, while at the same time humorously suggesting to his readers that the impoverished country should alleviate its monetary and social problems by selling their children as food. and clothing for the rich. Swift does this by using a satirical tone and at the same time uses verbal irony and pathos to make his point. In "A Modest Proposal", Swift uses a satirical tone to mock both insensitive attitudes towards the poor and the poor themselves. Swift's "modest" solution to Ireland's ongoing fiscal and social issues is nothing more than the opposite, as he proposes that the poor should sell their children for food in exchange for money. By using the word “modest” to describe his proposal to eat Irish children and/or offer their flesh as a source of clothing, Swift makes the sarcasm of his story evident from the beginning. Using such an inconspicuous medium of paper, disadvantaged mothers who strive to care for their children but do not have the resources to do so. Finally, Swift states that, for want of work, the children of the poor Irish "either become thieves, or leave their dear native country, to fight for the pretender in Spain, or sell themselves to Barbados." Swift makes the reader feel sympathy towards poor children who are forced to earn a living by any means necessary at a young age. Swift's use of a compelling word choice to describe the living conditions of the poor Irish effectively places both emphasis and pity on their plight, while also causing the reader to despise those who do not care about the poor. Swift, having a child of her own, is not really supporting the abortion of children; rather it advocates and aims for fair treatment of poor Irish people.
