In what way does a modest proposal fit the definition of satire
ankoles [38]

Satire is a genre of literature in which vices and abuses are held up to ridicule with the intent of shaming. It can be directed towards corporations, governments, individuals or society at large. Satire is usually humorous, however, it serves a purpose of social criticism. Satire often uses techniques such as parody, exaggeration, and analogies.

In <em>A Modest Proposal</em>, by <em>Jonathan Swift</em>, the author provides a "proposal" for dealing with the economic problems of Ireland. Swift says that the economy could be improved if parents sold their children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. This text fits as satire for two main reasons:

  • <em>Its use of language:</em> irony, exaggeration and parody are all used extensively.
  • <em>It serves a purpose of social criticism:</em> its intention is to mock attitudes towards the poor, as well as British attitudes towards Irish citizens.

Through her reflections, the character of the author emerges. What are two of her significant fraits? Identify details from the
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Two of her character traits are:

  1. She has a strong interest in nature;
  2. She possesses the ability to deeply think about her environment, drawing inferences from them as they relate to human nature.

A. To buttress point 1, in paragraph 4 and 5 of Part II, Annie describes her venture into the woods of the suburbia close to her residence. The second sentence of paragraph 5 depicts that this is a habit. She states

"Then  I cut down through the woods to the mossy fallen tree <em><u>where I sit</u></em>."

B. In paragraph 4 of part III, we see how she describes the kind of connection she thinks she shares with the Weasel:

"He disappeared. This was only last week, and already I don't  remember what shattered the enchantment. I think I blinked, I think <em><u>I  retrieved my brain from the weasel's brain</u></em>, and tried to memorize what I was seeing, and the weasel felt the yank of separation, the careening splashdown into real life and the urgent current of instinct"

In the excerpt above, she thinks she practically shared cerebral connections with the Weasel, so much so that her own thoughts distracted the animal.

Cheers!
