Answer 1

In A Modest Proposal the author, Jonathan Swift, uses satire to mock the Irish government of his time. He does this by sarcastically proposing to the people that by selling the children of the poor and beggars to the wealthier families, as this will provide clothing, food, and will decrease the population of the kingdom. At this time in Ireland, there was extreme poverty and a gap between the poor and the rich, the tenements and the landlords.Throughout the story Swift uses detail’s to how they should go about eating the children, treating them as nothing more than a new type of animal.The story ends with a completely different tone when the author explains the absurdness of his proposal and instead he suggests something a bit more realistic like the wealthy giving up some of their luxuries.
