The answer is: He states that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as “roasting pigs.”

An understatement is a statement that presents something as being less relevant, less important or smaller than it actually is.

In this case, the understatement is that roasting children is just as simple as roasting pigs. Swift, the author of <em>A modest Proposal, </em>is a master of satire and the many uses that it acquires, this being one. This essay is a perfect example of his satire. In it, Swift recommends that Irish children be put to death and fed to the rich people in order to ease the latter´s big appetite and “help” the Irish alleviate their poverty by selling off their children as food.

What is the difference between obligation and commitment?
amid [387]

Answer:

Desde el punto de vista lingüístico, la diferencia más visible entre las dos palabras tiene que ver con el lugar desde donde parte la acción. El compromiso se origina en el interior, emana desde donde antes no existía, y la obligación se impone desde fuera.

What argument does thomas Jefferson make in the expert from the declaration of Independence
zepelin [54]
<span>He uses Locke's argument that if a government or ruler goes against the wishes of a people, the people can revolt and set up a new government.

Jefferson basically outlines all the stuff King George III/British government did wrong against the colonies and so he says the colonies then had the natural right to change their governments</span>
