Modest Proposal R&A

Because they figuratively devoured everything the parents owned already.

He rejects this because the males would have tough meat and would not have much meat, and the females could be breeders.

The Catholic population would decrease, the poor will finally have something of value for profit, the nation's economy would be better, mothers would only be burdened for one year, restaurants would profit, and it would make marriage attractive

The one objection is that the proposal would decrease population

His use of the word modest implies that his proposal will be considerate of everyone and generally not be offensive, so the irony is found in the fact that his proposal is to eat babies and last time I checked cannibalism and harm to infants were definitely offensive. Swift expresses his hope of his plan being very agreeable to add to the satire of the thought of this plan being acceptable and as indication that the essay is a satire.

The purpose of his essay is to emphasize the things wrong he sees in society. He hopes to reform the relationship between England and Ireland from an oppressing one to one where Ireland has more independence.

The tone is sarcastic because he is suggesting that the solution to Ireland's problem is to eat babies.

Hyperbole because the speaker exaggerates the idea of how insensitive England is by saying they would eat babies of the Irish and poor.

He brushes those ideas aside because he has mentioned them before yet they were ignored, so in juxtaposition with this horrible plan's acceptance it adds to the satire and emphasizes the need for reform.

He uses logical appeals when he mentions the advantages that his proposal gives to the economy, like an increase of 50,000 pounds per annum, and when he calculates how many poor people there are in Ireland.

The ethical appeal where he describes himself favorably is seen where he says his proposal would improve marriages and decrease women abuse.

He refers to women as breeders and when he spoke of children being eaten at different ages he compared their meat tenderness.

The suffering and tyranny the people of North Korea have to go through and child labor in China.

I think his use of irony is very effective. There is no way that it could be taken seriously in my opinion. And if it was by chance taken seriously by a reader he would have to at least chuckle at Swift's statement that the landlords own a proper title to the baby meals since they've taken everything already, or even when he says that the \"dish\" would be a fine recipe for those with great knowledge in good eating. The most obvious and useful use of his irony is when he says that England would not mind eating up the whole nation without salt.
