Jonathan Swift uses A. optimistic to F. to remind people of their childhood. The fact that he doesn't have any children made him eligible from his proposal.
Jonathan Swift wrote his famous "A Modest Proposal" to criticize and also at the same time satirically propose a plan to combat the overpopulation and poverty problem of Ireland.
In the proposal, Swift talks about using the issue of over population and the resulting shortage of food to feed everyone. He proposes the use of the poor children living in poverty to be the solution for the economic stability of poor people. By fattening the young children and selling their meat to rich people will ensure a steady flow of income for the poor parents. It will also provide a good source of fresh food for the rich. By satirically proposing this, he made his point of discussing the food shortage issue in the society.
