Answer:

Use context clues.

Explanation:

Context clues are clues in the text around a word that help you find a word's meaning.

For a simple example, if the text says:

'"Which building should we go to?" asked Tim.

"Let's go to my house!" exclaimed Bob.'

Let's say you don't know what the word "building" means.  Using context clues, you can find out that a house is a type of building, and so you have an idea of what a building may be.

3-paragraph essay on your opinion about its validity and relevance in today's society.
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Although we do not know what the quote you are referencing is, we are able to explain the claims that Swift makes throughout the entire essay.

In this essay, Swift makes a commentary about the view and value of person hood in his society. In this essay, he argues that poor Irish families should sell their children to wealthy English people in order for them to be eaten. Although the claim is absurd, what Swift wants to convey is that people value the lives of the poor, as well as the lives of the Irish, as less important than the lives of rich English people. In his society, such prejudice prevents people from valuing all lives equally.

This essay continues to be relevant today. Nowadays, we still believe some people are less worthy than others. For example, we care deeply about celebrities dying, but we do not care much about the hundreds of people who die from war or poverty everyday. As a society, the poor, the elderly, and foreigners are often seen as "less worthy" because of our prejudice. This view is also influenced by values in society pushed by the media, such as the celebration and admiration of extremely wealthy people.
