A_Modest_Proposal_Review

A Modest Proposal Review “A Modest Proposal” by Jonathon Swift, in my opinion, is a brilliant piece of literature. The idea of taking a social matter of his time, that was incredibly absurd, and made it even more absurd and gruesome. I found it easy to figure out his sense of satire in the writing, and personally don’t understand how others couldn’t see what he was really trying to say. How could you take someone completely seriously, especially of Swifts stature, who published a piece about eating babies' Not only is it well written and funny, but also I think it is a great insult to the people who treated the Irish so horribly. To personally see the rise Swift got out of people is amazing. To see classmates get visibly mad over the work, is incredible. It is exactly what Swift wanted to do. I find controversial work very interesting, whether it is literature, music, or television. I love seeing what can be said or done to make people raise an eyebrow.
