Who is Swift ridiculing using satire in "A Modest Proposal"?

English

pychu [463]4 years ago

The answer is: the English government, which seemed to care little about the Irish people.

Jonathan Swift, perhaps the greatest satirist of all time, wrote <em>A modest proposal </em>in order to critique prejudices in his time that viewed poverty through classist and unjust arguments, but also to critique British social and economic policies towards the people of Ireland in general, who, at that time, were highly mistreated and politically misrepresented.

In "The Transaction," what is William Zinsser's viewpoint on writing as a career? What details does he use to support this point
AlekseyPX
William Zinsser's comments about writing as a profession perhaps dispel some myths about it. First, he says one needs to re-write sentences often many times to convey the designated meaning accurately and eloquently. Also, he says that one needs to stick to a schedule to be successful at writing like going to a job. Thirdly, writing is not easy and not necessarily fun at least at the time when the writing occurs (though in retrospect it may be considered to be fun-my opinion). Thus, we see that writing does not necessarily carry a lot of glory with it and is hard work and is a craft to work at to perfect it.

Debate on wealth is important than health ​
kotegsom [21]

Answer: Heyaa! ~

  • <em>debate on wealth is important than health ​</em>

                      <em>   Wealth might be more important than health....</em>

Explanation:

  • Most people see Health as more important than Wealth.
  • However, wealth provides the opportunity to have a healthier life.
  • providing ability to spend on holidays, gyms and other lifestyle expenses.
  • Money can lead to better goods and services
  • Money helps families support each other.
  • Money reduces financial stress.

 - REASONS WHY HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WEALTH -

  • Health gives you the ability to enjoy what life has to offer, and create experiences that are often more cherished than physical goods.

  • Healthy populations are more productive, save more and live longer.

  • It is also a national necessity to raise the standard of national health. A diseased and injured person cannot work and care for others. Even if you have money, you will not be happy unless you are healthy. True that wealth brings prosperity and happiness, but all that is worth only if one is healthy. So, we should always try to become healthy and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
  • Health insurance in the U.S. is already an astronomically high expense. Constantly being seen by a medical professional will only skyrocket those costs and take money away from achieving your financial goals.

-  Hopefully this helps you !!  -

Read the passage from beowulf. Wealhtheow came in, hrothgar’s queen, observing the courtesies. Adorned in her gold, she gracio
stepladder [879]

Through the text, we can infer that Wealhtheow was not impressed with the men who fought Grendel up to this point, as shown in the last answer option.

<h3>Why wasn't Wealhtheow impressed?</h3>
  • He knew about Grendel's power.
  • He had seen many men try to fight Grendel and failed.
  • He knew that men had no special powers.
  • He had no confidence in men.

Wealhtheow was unsure of the men who fought Grendel, which gave him a negative outlook and a lack of hope for any warriors. Also, the men were foreigners, which increased his distrust.

This question is part of the epic "Beowulf" and you can find more information about it at the link:

Which statements describe characteristics of a restrictive clause? Select three options. (1) It is set off by commas. (2) It con
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

A restrictive clause contains a subject and a verb (2), is not set apart by punctuation (3), and is essential to the meaning of the sentence (4).

Explanation:

A restrictive clause is a clause which functions as a adjective to identify the word which it modifies. Since it is essential to the meaning of the sentence, it is not offset with commas. An example of a restrictive clause is, "The girl who ripped her dress is crying." A restrictive clause is opposite of a non-restrictive clause, which would include non-necessary information within commas. An examle of a non-restrictive clause is, "Sara, the girl who ripped her dress, is crying."
