Answer:

There are three wishes made with the paw while there are also consequence for the wish.

The first wish, is when the Whites did not really believe in the paw, and thought it was a joke, so Mr. White wished 200 pounds. They did got the money afterwards, but their son, Herbert, got mangled in some machine and died, and so they received 200 pounds as a compensation.

The second wish is Mrs. Whites wants Herbert to live again. We should assume that he did got "alive" since in the story someone was knocking fiercely after the wish. However, we need to remember, Herbert died from machine mangling, which means his whole body is basically break in corpse. So the compensation is Herbert's corpse got "alive".

The third wish is Mr.White wished Herbert dead. However, this is not told in the story but it is foreshadowed because after his wish, the knocking goes away.

"a modest proposal" what does the title suggest
DedPeter [7]
It suggests a satirical and simple proposal to the problem starving Ireland faced: the lack of food to feed the people.

Of course, the entire modest proposal was that parents eat and sell their children as food and the idea was meant as satire, meaning to be considered with a grain of salt and not seriously (kind of like a really dark joke).

''Modest'' means that the proposal was obvious and simple in the eyes of the author Jonathan Swift but not necessarily in the eyes of others. ''Proposal'' means the general answer to the problem Swift was answering.

Hope this helps! :)
