30 PTS !!! Continue reading the next four paragraphs of Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” from “I am assured by our merchants

...” to “especially in winter.” Keep in mind the three areas of questioning—integration of your knowledge and ideas, key ideas and details, and craft and structure—and write down some questions that can help you better understand the excerpt. If it helps, you can print out the excerpt and mark it up by hand, or copy and paste it into a word processing program and use electronic tools to mark it.

I am assured by our merchants, that a boy or a girl before twelve years old, is no saleable commodity, and even when they come to this age, they will not yield above three pounds, or three pounds and half a crown at most, on the exchange; which cannot turn to account either to the parents or kingdom, the charge of nutriments and rags having been at least four times that value.

I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection.

 

Why does Swift use the word “humbly” twice in the excerpt? Does he only use the word before introducing each shocking idea? How does this word affect the tone of the excerpt? What effect does this word have on the readers?

I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasie, or a ragoust.

 

What is the writer criticizing when he talks about most males being reserved for eating?

I do therefore humbly offer it to publick consideration, that of the hundred and twenty thousand children, already computed, twenty thousand may be reserved for breed, whereof only one fourth part to be males; which is more than we allow to sheep, black cattle, or swine, and my reason is, that these children are seldom the fruits of marriage, a circumstance not much regarded by our savages, therefore, one male will be sufficient to serve four females. That the remaining hundred thousand may, at a year old, be offered in sale to the persons of quality and fortune, through the kingdom, always advising the mother to let them suck plentifully in the last month, so as to render them plump, and fat for a good table. A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter.
