A Modest Proposal

A Modest Proposal was not so modest. I think this paper was completely absurd and I have a hard time even believing that this was even a real commentary. Everything he said was so morally wrong. I don’t even know what to say about this paper besides, is this joke? No way would this proposal ever work. I’m relieved to read that this was satire but also find it weird that he could get away with writing something like this back then.

On the other hand his writing was very impressive. It was hard for me to understand some of the big words that he left undefined and some of the slang was also confusing.
