Why did swift title his work"a modest proposal"?

English

Paha777 [63]3 years ago

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.

Can someone help me improve my paragraph? PLZ
qwelly [4]

Answer: I added some things

Explanation:

Other than race and ethnicity, culture can be defined and characterized through religion. For example, there are Asians of many different ethnicities. There is Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, and more, but every single ethnicity, no matter which one doesn't have a specific religion that they pursue spiritually. The Chinese can be atheists, Catholics, Christians, Jewish, Muslim, Mormon, Hindu, Buddist, and many other religions. Just like any other race or religion could be also. Just because a specific group of people are specific race or ethnicity does mean they have to have a specified religion. In the end, religion is truly opinionated and is what one chooses believes in or in some cases what one is told to believe in. Thus, that is why religion is one of the many parts that define culture.
