Three-fourths into "A Modest Proposal," Jonathan Swift reveals his true argument, a hidden list of feasible requests that could put the kibosh on Irish poverty and save women and children from starving on the streets. However, you have to find your footing through his hyperbolic exemplification to see that his satire exists as a critique of those exploiting the poor.
For our modes of discourse week, we began with satire featuring Swift and his above text. If you were absent, you should read the source material -- it can be found on multiple sites on the web. For tomorrow's class, you will create multiple choice questions using this text.
