Answer:

It presents an argument for treating children like livestock, which the reader isn't meant to take seriously

Explanation:

A Modest Proposal is how Jonathan Swift's satirical essay got to be known for. The actual name of the essay is: <u><em>A Modest Proposal For preventing the Children of Poor People From being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and For making them Beneficial to the Publick</em></u>.

How does the setting of “The Colomber” by Dino Buzzati impact the theme of the work?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:   The setting of “The Colomber” is the sea. The sea is a spooky setting because it has so many unexplored regions, too deep for most man-made machines to explore. It is also spooky that the colomber wanders the ocean because the oceans are all interconnected. Stefano will always be on some continent surrounded by ocean. Although he may be far away from the edge of shore, he’s always surrounded. This enforces the theme in the story that one cannot escape one’s fears. No matter where Stefano is, the lure and the presence of the ocean (which is home to the creature he most fears) is always waiting for him.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

I think the answer is to persuade.

might be to inform as well.

Explanation:

I think it is to persuade because the author asks the question "why should a car be any different?"  as to let the readers imagination run with it.

I also think it may be to inform because the author says "driving while talking on the phone is dangerous" so the author could be saying I don't think its a good idea to have a phone in the car and this is why.

I could be wrong but that is what I think
