Summary: A Modest Proposal
This took me so long to think on everything about how my boyfriend is going to propose to me.
Since we have very opposite characteristics, personality and experience in life, I really can't predict how he will surprise me by that time. Like he said to me, he have different crazy ways so I will just use as my entry's inspiration the way he surprised me before and also what I already knew about him plus on what I think he already knew about me by that time.

Thinking 5 years from today . . .
We are both working at Dubai and during New Year celebration, twelve midnight, and the ideal time that I can think of since there will be a firework display and he knew how fireworks can melt my heart. In front of Burj Khalifa, Dubai, he will probably

    Appeals In A Modest Proposal

    In Jonathan Swift’s essay “A Modest Proposal” he uses three appeals: ethical, logical and emotional. Swift tends to use them frequently but the most effective appeal used throughout the essay, I believe, is emotional. In A Modest Proposal Swift offers a solution to the problem of famine and overpopulation in Ireland. As around the late 1720’s Ireland suffered from poor crops,which lead to famine as well as the people of Ireland could not afford to pay the rent set by the English landlords which lead to a homeless problem.…

    A Modest Proposal Essay

    The late 1600s and early 1700s in particular were a difficult time for Ireland. Catholics made up most of the Irish poor who constituted 80 percent of the population and owned less than one-third of the land. As the Protestant English landowners took over in the 1700s, the Irish Catholics dove deeper into lives of famine and poverty. In “A Modest Proposal”, Jonathan Swift presents several claims and supporting evidence that the consuming of the Irish nation’s growing number of children will solve the poverty epidemic as well as decrease religious enemies.…

    A Not So Modest Proposal

    In our society, satire is among the most prevalent of comedic forms. This was not always true, for before the 18th century, satire was not a fully developed form. Satire, however, rose out of necessity; writers and artists needed a way to ambiguously criticize their governments, their churches, and their aristocrats. By the 18th century, satire was hugely popular. Satire as an art form has its roots in the classics, especially in the Roman Horace's Satires. Satire as it was originally proposed was a form of literature using sarcasm, irony, and wit, to bring about a change in society, but in the eighteenth century Voltaire, Jonathan Swift and William Hogarth expanded satire to include politics, as well as art. The political climate of the time was one of tension. Any criticism of government would bring harsh punishments, sometimes exile or death. In order to voice opinions without fear of punishment, malcontented writers turned to Satire. Voltaire's Candide and Swift's Modest Proposal are two examples of this new genre. By creating a fictional world modeled after the world he hated, Voltaire was able to attack scientists, and theologians with impunity. Jonathan Swift created many fictional worlds in his great work, Gulliver's Travels, when he constantly drew parallels to the English government.…

    A Modest Proposal Analysis

    “A Modest Proposal” is a satirical piece Jonathan Swift wrote to entice the Irish to break away from England. He utilized babies as his hook, talking about eating and using them for clothes or shoes. He wrote examples of how women are the ‘breeders’ and how their babies should be eaten to decrease the population. Also, he uses more examples of how the population would, and has changed. Swift took advantage of the situation at hand and used ghastly examples to get attention. When all was said and done, it was the government that attempted to take control of everything they could, population included. Jonathan wrote about the government corruption, which ties in with how China is run, as well as their own corrupt government. Ireland and China…

    The art of procrastination has troubled high school kids for quite some time now. Im sitting here typing my own essay at the eleventh hour, hoping that as the deadline approaches I can piece together an essay to save my grade. “Procrastination is for the efficient at heart”, this quote captures the procrastinators only strength: the ability to make the most out of the time they have. Most students will crack as the pressure of meeting the deadline with quality work overbears them, as they regretfully wish they spent their time wiser. Few will rise up to the challenge and meet the standards, but what separates the students who succeed and those who miserably fail?…

    A Modest Proposal Essay

    One of Jonathon Swift’s most famous works, “A Modest Proposal” needs to be read after the reader gets a little familiar with Swift himself and why he wrote it. Once you realize the situation and the author’s unique writing ability and thought process the proposal seems a little less farfetched and less sickening. I am in no way in agreement with the proposal just more understanding of where it came from and why he did it. The meaning of the proposal takes a major hit when the situation at hand takes a twist from Swift’s personal situation.…

The people that inhabit the land are suffering terribly and enduring the most brutal conditions.
