English

The reason why Swift titled his work "A Modest Proposal" is because it uses <u>satire</u>, which is the type of writing that defines the whole text. The title is not meant to be taken seriously, but instead, it is meant to be a joke. "Modest" is something that is not very ambitious. Swift implies that his suggestion is not difficult or revolutionary and that it can be easily implemented. Eating children, however, is the complete opposite of this.

Answer the following in paragraph form: Why do people watch such tragic movies? How is this enjoyable and/or why are such storie
yuradex [85]
So when people make tragic movies there is always a theme to them or a goal the author is trying to get out. It might be a sad movie that a lot of bad things happen but in the end usually something good comes out of it and that can help people, or can even be more interesting, to be a successful story.
