Answer and explanation:

"A Modest Proposal" was written anonymously by author Jonathan Swift in 1729. His modest proposal for the poor people of Ireland to stop being a burden is that they should start selling their children as food for the rich. Of course, that proposal is outrageous and cannot be taken seriously, nor did Swift intend it to.<u> He's using it to criticize the economic sate of Ireland, a state in which the rich get richer by shamelessly exploring the poorer classes. As Swift says, the rich "have already devoured most of the Parents." The inhuman proposal is appropriate, therefore, because it reflects the state of lack of empathy and excessive greed that rules Ireland. If the rich don't feel guilty for harming the poor so greatly, they might as well eat their children and not feel remorseful about it.</u>

PLEASE HELP Which detail from The Odyssey best shows that Odysseus can be vain?
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

C. He calls his name to the Cyclops even after his men beg him to

stay silent

Explanation:

The detail from the Odyssey that shows the pride and ability of Odysseus to be vain is the fact that he tells his real name to the Cyclops after they defeat him and sail away, he does that just to show off, and he puts his tripulation in danger because now the other cyclops will know who hurt their fellow cyclop friend and can look for revenge.

The excerpt that depicts the White family's doubt on the Major's story would be when Mr. White said:

"If the tale about the monkey's paw is not more truthful than those he has been telling us," said Herbert, as the door closed behind their guest, just in time to catch the last train, "we shan't make much out of it."
