                                                Analyses of  A Modest Proposel

       A Modest Proposal written by Jonathan Swift in 1729. This text written in the term of Age of Reason (Enlightenment).
Swift's greatest works, Gulliver's Travels and A modest Proposal. Swift is a Ireland citizen.


       A modest Proposal uses an approach called satire to make it point, which is the use of humour, irony or exeggeration to criticize the ideas of others. Swift was against to the selling of the children as food in Ireland in this term. So he wrote A Modest Proposal to deliver a message.
Swift gives an extremely sarcastic solution to the problems, problems of selling children. He gives a series of unrealistic and simply absurd solution to the problem that includes the harsh treatmant of children.
      In this term the Reason was forefront. Reason was the most important things and everything were about reason, so Swift wrote this text to criticize they. His all around solution is to"fatten up" the undernourished chidren and selling them into a meat market where they will be sold for food, thus solving the economic and population probles in Ireland.I mean he thought that sold your children or we can eat them so can be more development, everybody can eat meat and our kitchen can be enriched with a sarcastic tongue.

And he critices the author or scientist who think about reason. In the term of age of reason, this time representatives said that reason is everythink, if we use reason we can find answers. So Swifts wanted to critices them, wrote the A modest Proposal, Swift talk about eating children with a sarcastic tongue, and then he said if you look for reaon, this is also reason.
Shortly in this text we can see a satire.
