Read the following excerpt from Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal":

English

inysia [295]1 year ago
6 0

The author's choice of words shows society's disregard for the neediest people, which is different from the message about cannibalism that is explicitly described.

<h3>How does the author make the text satire?</h3>
  • He criticizes a social situation.
  • He criticizes in an acidic, but humorous way.
  • He exposes the culprits of the situation.
  • He writes sarcastically and ironically.

A satire is a criticism, made in a subjunctive way, but very acid, violent, and expository, as it shows a serious social problem, its culprits, and the negligent way in which this problem is treated.

In this text, the author shows how cannibalism can be favorable to society, because rich people, who see the poor as social problems, can use them as food and raise them like cattle. That's because rich people are one of the causes of extreme poverty in society, but they don't feel responsible for solving the problem, so it would be better if they consumed the poor.

The author is not defending cannibalism but using this subject to criticize the irresponsibility of high society and the tyrannical and problematic way they act with social problems that do not affect them.

Which excerpt from the passage supports the idea that the narrator holds a
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

"One object I had in placing Bartleby so handy to me behind the screen, was to avail myself of his services on such trivial occasions." (paragraph 3)

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled "Bartleby, the Scrivener." He was a newly hired clerk by a Wall Street lawyer<em> (the narrator in the story).</em>

The statement above reveals that the narrator holds a position of authority over Bartleby because it mentioned about "how he can avail or make use of Bartleby's service."

So, this means that at any time, he can just ask Bartleby to do something for him because he initially showed an <u><em>excellent quantity of writing than his other two clerks.</em></u> This is also the reason why he placed him closer to him, that is, behind the screen.

So, this explains the answer.
