Jonathan Swift, uses satire in "A Modest Proposal", <em>B. To criticize people responsible for policy in Ireland. </em>Swift writes about how Ireland is suffering from being under British rule. He writes about how impoverished couples have trouble feeding their children. Mothers and children beg on the streets. To avoid this, Swift suggests in a satirical way that women should sell their children to rich English landowners, to be served as meals.
