With "A Modest Proposal," Swift's persona draws attention to the economic disparity between Ireland and England. The author's satire addresses the topic of the exploitation of the Irish by wealthy Irish people on a social level and by the English on a political one using the themes of poverty, class, politics, mercantilism, and greed.

<h3>What does A Modest Proposal's key message entail?</h3>

Swift exhibits deep sympathy for Ireland's beggars at the outset of the essay by outlining their plight in considerable detail. Swift used a satirical tone in his essay "A Modest Proposal" to mock the public for failing to take action or even develop viable solutions to issues like fetal removal, population growth, and poverty.

Swift initially recognizes a problem in this satire: the miserable lives that the Irish poor are experiencing. Then he makes a plan to lessen this load by reducing the population, locating a new food source, and ending begging. The essay, which is disguised as an economic dissertation, suggests that Ireland's poverty be reduced by killing its underprivileged children and selling them to the English landowners as food. Swift's suggestion is a scathing critique of England's economic and legal exploitation of Ireland.

Discussion #7: Walker: "Everyday Use"
iogann1982 [59]

The question above wants to assess your ability to interpret a text and argue over that interpretation. For that reason, I can't write this script for you, but I'll show you how you can write it.

First, you need to understand what Dee and Magie represent in the story and what qualities they both have that make them apt to inherit the quilts. You can search for articles that analyze the two characters and give you greater insight into the two girls.

Based on that, you can write your argument as follows:

  1. Introduce who you deem worthy of receiving the quilts.
  2. Show what these quilts represent.
  3. Show the reasons why you considered this girl deserving of the quilts.
  4. Show why the other girl is not worthy of receiving the quilts.

Importantly, Dee is a woman who became involved in black activism, defending the exposure and pride of African ancestry. However, this placement is seen as something aesthetic for Dee's family. Her mother doesn't believe that Dee is actually representing black people, as black people are resilient people who take care of their families and face challenges with courage rather than ornaments like Maggie.
