A Modest Proposal On Satire
Satire is a specific classification of writing that occasionally makes utilization of realistic and performing expressions with the aim of scorning society
into self–change. With social criticism being its fundamental objective, it uses dark sarcasm as its primary device to get the point across. Satire impacts
people to reconsider themselves so as to alter senseless thoughts and behaviors. Different techniques are utilized in delivering the satirical impact, those
of which use wit as their primary weapon. These methodologies mix the acing of matching unimportant and authentic matters as one joke,
demonstrating compliment yet meaning the contrary to show ambiguity, and asking rhetorical questions. Moreover, the creator may downplay an issue
keeping in mind the end goal to move the group of audience towards the genuine significance of the theme, antagonistically; distortion is utilized to
bring down the effect of an issue to its lesser quality. Aggregately, these procedures are practiced to draw out the human follies and vices in society. In
MoliГЁre 's Tartuffe and Jonathan Swift 's article A Modest Proposal, both diagonally condemn and criticize human conduct and the discernment we
have towards others. Through a comedian conveyance, these creators offer an understanding past the apparently self–evident, and expect to enhance
this flawed custom of one sidedness as opposed to disposing of it.
The key topic of Tartuffe is hypocrisy, as presented with the disposition of the

Humans are naturally ignorant, especially when they do not want to see harsh realities. The most common truth that humans try to avoid
acknowledging is inequality, generally caused by those with privilege, trying to separate themselves from those who are unprivileged. Privilege is most
commonly caused by skin color, financial status, and religious beliefs, as unfortunate as these ideas are. In Jonathan Swift's essay "A Modest Proposal,"
Swift uses irony, hyperbole, and sarcasm to ridicule the detrimental effects of oppression and discrimination in society.
Jonathan Swift portrays induced inequalities in Ireland through the use of satire in his essay 'A Modest Proposal.' The rich and the Catholics treated the
poor and the Protestants unfairly

Some of the brightest young students at this school are faced with a growing problem. In class there are disruptive and downright rude students who do
not contribute to the learning environment. These bad students are a terrible influence to the rest of the school community, those who don't care about
their education are more likely to get involved with violence and gangs. Some of these students are simply "un–teachable" and are a waste of time and
space, overcrowding the school and ruining its reputation. We must heed the saying "A rotten apple will spoil the whole barrel." After all, what will
become of these worthless people in the future? I hereby suggest a proposal to eliminate all of these social ills, make use of high school...show more

Judging by how many students are unwilling to take school seriously, there will never be a shortage of such laborers. If any defiant workers refuse to
offer labor, they will be executed and their place reserved for some other compliant ex–student, there are too many people anyway. The economy will
certainly benefit from this mass–production and the US will be recognized as one of the most prestigious and prosperous nations in the world,
producing some of the most brilliant, top–notch scholars. This solution will provide a higher–quality education for the rest of the students in the future.
As contrast to what could be, here is an example. Last year I attended an English class here at Arroyo full of students who'd given up on learning,
preferring to fool around during class. The teacher had simply given up on "us" (or the troublesome ones), the class was rowdy, out of control most of
the time. If only this plan was in effect at that time! The teacher could have taught class uninterrupted without having to waste class time rebuking
those annoying twerps. With this proposal in effect, class sizes would be smaller and there would be less disruption so teachers would have more
one–on–one time helping students worthy of their time. The learning environment/peer influence would improve, resulting in better performance, even
the school's standards would be set

Satirical Essay On Social Media
There has been a serious problem that has risen over the past few years with teens and social media. Due to the creation of iPhones, Twitter, Instagram,
Snapchat and whatever other technology they are spending ridiculous amounts of time on, their generation is soon going to be filled with children who
are a number of things, such as, restless, robotic, obese, uneducated, and even antisocial. As a high school teacher, I have recently noticed a drastic
drop in many of my student's grades and I could not for the life of me find out why. At first, I thought It may have had something to do with my
teaching skills which made me so concerned that I even went to other teachers for advice. After weeks passed and student's grades kept falling, I
got really down on myself and every night I would have an emotional breakdown on my husband. Then finally, I came to the realization it had
nothing to do with my teaching job, it was actually because the students who are making poor grades are so emotionally consumed in their small
pixel screen, even while in class. Recently a survey was done by researchers to get an overview on how often teens "have to" check their social media.
The results were that 92 percent of the surveyed teens go online daily and that includes...show more content...
To give an ethical appeal I said that I am a teacher. By saying this I gave credibility to myself for the information I was providing in order to
convince my readers. I used a logical appeal when I gave the statistic "92 percent of the surveyed teens go online daily and that includes the 24
percent who said they are on it almost constantly". This appealed to the readers because it shows just how much teens are actually consumed in social
media. Also, to appeal to emotion I used words such as, antisocial, obese, slugs, emotional breakdown, and my heart aches to create an emotional
response. In doing so it helped me convince my audience of my

Rhetorical Analysis Of A Modest Proposal
A Modest Rhetorical Analysis Since its original publishing in 1729, Jonathan Swift's pamphlet "A Modest Proposal" has endured for its rhetorical
complexity (and sheer satirical absurdities). Through judicious use of ethos (ethical appeal), logos (logical appeal), and pathos (emotional appeal),
Swift crafts a sarcastic, insincere, overly embellished argument to address Irelands food shortage and economic crisis meant to simultaneously entice
and repulse readers. His audience is explicitly asked to accept the intentionally horrifying idea that the numerous children of Ireland's poorest class can
be made useful predominantly as food, but also as footwear, for wealthier citizens. While more limited than the other appeals, Swifts ethos...show more

Swift goes on to number the population, in order to highlight the grave economic crises facing the country, before performing calculations that
proclaim–even after allowances are made–"there will remain an hundred and seventy thousand breeders" to further emphasize the sound reasoning of
his argument... despite the likely arbitrary nature of his numbers and math. (Swift, 1). Pathos, however, made the bulk of Swifts proposal, in an
undisguised effort to counter the (hopefully remote) possibility that his satiric mockery might be taken at all seriously. Clearly desiring to prompt the
deepest disgust and revulsion, he was particularly liberal in his use of dehumanizing comparisons, repeatedly referring to women of child–bearing age
as "breeders," likening them to the bearing animals of a typical farm, claiming that "Men would become as fond of their wives during the time of
their pregnancy as they are now of their" breeding stock. What's more, Swift extended this association, boldly stating that women would choose to be
breeding livestock when he specified that "another great advantage" of his proposal would be a decrease in "voluntary abortions" and filicide because
mothers would be more compassionate "toward their children, when they were sure of a settlement for life" and "to their

Today, cell phones are a major part of our life. It has made things much more convenient by enabling us to communicate with others in a small amount
of time. One of the most used functions on the cell phone is not the phone, but the instant text messaging. Who wouldn't love such a quick, easy
method of communication? Just flip open your cell phone, type in a quick "meet me @ 2 plz" and press send. Text messaging is an easy and discrete
way of communicating with others, but it has its disadvantages and advantages. It is not a surprise why texting can cause so man problems physically
and mentally.
There are several advantages for texting rather than having a voice communication. One main argument of why texting is better is that it...show more

It can also take up large amount of time that can be used for something important. Another disadvantage is that texting has changed the importance of
grammar and the correct spelling, causing many problems because people simply do not know how to write formally and accurately. After texting
started, the language of texting was born. Grammar, spelling, abbreviation did not matter anymore, which is why texting is largely popular with the
younger generation. Finally, one last disadvantage is that texting is so popular now that people even use it while driving. Texting while driving is a
growing issue today, especially with the teenagers. Texting while driving does not only take your mind of the road, but from your eyes too. With car
which can easily travel over hundred miles per hour has made it even more dangerous for drivers who text. A mille–second is all that is needed for a
fast paced car to go out of control; from there it's all a disaster.
One thing is certain. Interpersonal connections and socialization is changing. While the speed and ease of cell phones and texting seem to be making
communication more frequent, it is also becoming less personal and intimate and is causing us to become more illiterate. Meaningful face to face
conversations are becoming more difficult for younger generations and written communication is becoming a thing of the past. People can argue over
the disadvantages and advantages of texting, but

Jonathan Swift, in his essay "A Modest Proposal", effectively utilizes an extended metaphor in order to convey his message that we must take
action against widespread poverty. The satirical point employed suggests that poor children be eaten in order to decrease the surplus population,
and is efficacious due to the fact that in such a terrible state of affairs, cannibalism can be logically defended as a viable solution. Swift's essay,
written in 1729, clearly precedes the existing social programs in effect throughout much of the first world. However, the ominous reality is that
Swift's essay can just as effectively be used as a comparison, albeit a figurative one, to modern day society, if our current welfare spending continues.
Implicit within Swift's essay is a call for radical change to the inaction towards the poor that existed in his 18th century society. Though his call was
thoroughly addressed by nearly every global government, the poor class has not shrunk in any way due to this, and in fact, government assistance has
only worsened the problem. One must only examine the nature of the welfare state to see the oppression inherent within it. By definition, the welfare
state is a means of giving assistance to those who do not produce an arbitrary amount of recorded capital for themselves. There is absolutely no
encouragement to work, no obligation for productivity. Rather, the Heritage Foundation reported that only two of 80 tested welfare programs in

Analysis of A Modest Proposal
Jonathan Swift, the writer of the satirical essay A Modest Proposal, grew up and lived in Ireland during times of famine and economic struggles
(Conditions). Growing up with a single mother and no father, Swift knew what hard times and struggles were like (Jonathan Swift: Biography). His
essay proposes an easy solution to the economic problems going on in Ireland for both the wealthy ruling classes and the poorer classes, although his
intentions and the meaning behind his words are not what would be originally thought when initially reading the essay. Through his word choices and
the description of specific events of his time, Swift uses satire to grab his audience's attention and get his own personal ideas and opinions out about all
the...show more content...
"I rather recommend buying the children alive, and dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs" (A Modest Proposal). Comparing the
children to roasting a pig shows that the children do not mean that much to anyone and they can just be burned alive and no one would care. He
also uses the word "flesh" generally to refer to the children when they're being served and eaten which is an animalistic association (A Modest
Proposal). Usually human children would not be referred to as "flesh" or "pigs" at all. This, again, reflects upon how England and the Irish ruling
classes treated the people of Ireland, especially the less fortunate. Other words Swift has a tendency of using are "breeders", "males", and
"females" (A Modest Proposal). It's not common to hear these words in regard to a human being especially coming from a priest. More directly
with his wording, Swift speaks of the landlords in a negative manner. "I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for
landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents..." (A Modest Proposal). This statement shows the way the English landlords
would take every penny their tenants had. England and Ireland's wealthy class did not care for their people what so ever, and Swift's satire was very
effective in proving these points. Most of Swift's essays were much less acknowledged than his fictional works such as

Modest Proposal Rhetorical Analysis
The sarcastic views of Swift's understanding of the poverty of Ireland leads him to make a proposal for a solution to poverty, where he ignores the
concern of human morale by displaying the lacking efforts of England to help. Swift uses methods that work to get or help better understand a situation,
for example being sarcastic in a situation where a person wants something out of the situation by satire. The undeniable effect of satire catches the
attention of England to further display the poverty of Ireland which is displayed throughout Swift's Modest Proposal with exaggeration, incongruity and
reversal. Swift argues with England by reaching out for an intense solution by the use of exaggeration to put forward an idea to catch England's...show
more content...
In Modest Proposal, it is evident on how Swift effectively uses incongruity to place a point under the disguise as incongruity. For example in the
text Swift emphasizes, "A child will make two dishes at entertainment for friends..."(70). It is absurd for one to visualize how a child will be
served for dinner and entertainment for people. The use of incongruity is a pristine example of how Swift's argument is backed up using satire.
Swift's use of Incongruity disrupts human morale by replacing babies with food, similar to the way reversal is used throughout the text as well.
Although the use of incongruity is used to seize attention through a sarcastic view, another way Swift uses satire to grab England's attention is
through reversal. Reversal is used by Swift to switch the roles of babies to pigs, to emphasize the idea that these babies taste like pig. It is
expressed in the text where the author points out, "I rather recommend buying the children alive and dressing them hot from the knife as we do
roasting pigs" (Swift 99). This piece of text is evident of how Swift makes the point of having children served similar to pigs makes it sound
serious, yet sarcastic making his point more clear to the reader with hidden meaning. The way Swift places reversal in the text makes it clear to
England of how insane he may seem, but for a cause. This effective way of satire is undeniable of how Swift achieves his idea to bring poverty to an
end to Ireland.

Christopher Morley On Laziness Analysis
With social media such as Twitter or Instagram, people have learned how to deliver the same message without using so many words. Technology
users incorporate shortcuts such as "LOL" and "SMH" into their texts and social media posts, thus proving that people can still make a strong impact
despite doing less work. In his satirical essay "On Laziness," Christopher Morley employs advanced diction and short sentence structure to disprove
the popular idea that one cannot accomplish as much being lazy. Morley intentionally chooses words that are not only concise but also elevated. This
conciseness allows him to deliver the same message while still maintaining a sophisticated tone. Morley elaborates in his essay "Henceforward we are

His short sentence structure asserts control on his writing. It allows him to direct the flow of his essay in the manner he wants it. When explaining the
importance of laziness, Morley elucidates it as "Philosophical laziness, we mean. The kind of laziness that is based upon a carefully reasoned analysis
of experience. Acquired laziness"(33–35). Through the abrupt use of "acquired laziness," Morley successfully switches the subject of the paragraph
without having to write a smooth transition from one term to the next, while still able to fully explain his previous points. By enforcing this control
with minimal effort, the author once again proves that he can accomplish writing a reputable essay while simultaneously being lazy. In addition, the
frequent use of shorter sentences enables him to be more critical. Morley can critique those who are against laziness and not use elaboration to soften
those critiques. Later in the essay, he advises readers to "Mind your business...but mind your idleness also. It's a tragic thing to make a business of
your mind. Save your mind to amuse yourself with"(Morley 76–79). Morley's short directions are helpful while at the same time demeaning to those
who "make a business of their minds."He makes himself an authoritative figure without heavy word use, therefore strengthening his

farming, and many other great career paths.
Now, onto the topic of the supposed "life threatening" risks of smoking cigarettes that people have been so vocal about. People that smoke aren't
oblivious to these risks; they're clearly printed on the front of every pack. If a smoker isn't going to listen to all of these scientific sources, what
makes them think they would listen to you? The truth is, most smokers know that smoking is killing them, and they should accept this fact willingly.
Smokers get to experience the wondrous effects of cigarettes throughout their lifetime, and won't have to live until they're inevitable senility.
Smokers know that living until they're old is pointless, because when you're old you lose even more relevancy than you had when you were young.

"A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift, and "Top of the Food Chain" by T. Coraghessan Boyle, both are short stories that explore the concept of
satire. Satire can be defined as a kind of writing that ridicules human weakness, vice, of folly in order to bring about social reform. It is a kind of
writing to bring about change to society. Even though both are short stories, they easily get the faults of society across to its readers. In "A Modest
Proposal," Swift is offering an outrageous solution to the problems of human misery. He proposes that people should start eating babies, and using
them for everything that they are worth on a daily basis. Swift creates a pamphlet and states six reasons as to why this is a brilliant idea. He states
that money wouldn't be wasted on food, the number of Catholics would be reduced, it would be great inducement to marriages, there would be
more food so the economy would increase, poor tenants would have money for their landlords, and it would be an improvement for the tavern
business. Swift wants everyone to know how badly the Irish people are being treated by the English. He wants to change the reader's point of view
through this sarcastic satirical pamphlet. The authors' purpose of "A Modest Proposal," is to try to change society. Swift is trying to reform the
British official's involvement in Ireland. People are dying, and nothing is being done about it. He is trying to shock readers with a twisted story, but

A Modest Proposal And Candide Analysis
Jonathan Swifts A Modest Proposal and Candide, by Voltaire are the two parodies that ridicule man and society. The messages in these parodies are
both gone for a similar kind of group of onlookers, the privileged society. In A Modest Proposal, Swift expounds on a conceivable answer for Irelands
destitution and over populace. His work was pointed towards the English, grumbling of their abuse. He assaults the English for conservative issues of
Ireland by proposing a detailed arrangement to utilize the gross measure of kids as nourishment. He, as storyteller makes this proposition in such a

For instance, the speaker in the exposition A Modest Proposal can coldly talk about the financial and social advantages of executing and eating
youngsters while never giving much idea to the ethical issues behind these acts.
The exposition is surely a parody that is gone for influencing his contemporary per users to perceive the sort of frosty, ascertaining cruelty of limit
realism when used to address social issues, for example, destitution and overpopulation. Like Voltaire,Jonathan Swift introduces this incongruity
through portrayal–for this situation, the speaker of the proposition.
Despite the fact that Voltaire tends to show numerous issues of the Enlightenment by having various unexpected characters, the impact is the same
since the group of onlookers is attracted and made to perceive the imperfections of certain methods for considering. The incongruity of the storyteller of
A Modest Proposal however, is that he can go ahead to reprimand the ethical shortcoming of moms who have corrupt premature births or submit child
murder.
This unexpected character can create an impression that would appear to be simply monetary without appearing to understand its dreadful idea. The

A Modest Proposal On Satire

  • 1. A Modest Proposal On Satire Satire is a specific classification of writing that occasionally makes utilization of realistic and performing expressions with the aim of scorning society into self–change. With social criticism being its fundamental objective, it uses dark sarcasm as its primary device to get the point across. Satire impacts people to reconsider themselves so as to alter senseless thoughts and behaviors. Different techniques are utilized in delivering the satirical impact, those of which use wit as their primary weapon. These methodologies mix the acing of matching unimportant and authentic matters as one joke, demonstrating compliment yet meaning the contrary to show ambiguity, and asking rhetorical questions. Moreover, the creator may downplay an issue keeping in mind the end goal to move the group of audience towards the genuine significance of the theme, antagonistically; distortion is utilized to bring down the effect of an issue to its lesser quality. Aggregately, these procedures are practiced to draw out the human follies and vices in society. In MoliГЁre 's Tartuffe and Jonathan Swift 's article A Modest Proposal, both diagonally condemn and criticize human conduct and the discernment we have towards others. Through a comedian conveyance, these creators offer an understanding past the apparently self–evident, and expect to enhance this flawed custom of one sidedness as opposed to disposing of it. The key topic of Tartuffe is hypocrisy, as presented with the disposition of the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Humans are naturally ignorant, especially when they do not want to see harsh realities. The most common truth that humans try to avoid acknowledging is inequality, generally caused by those with privilege, trying to separate themselves from those who are unprivileged. Privilege is most commonly caused by skin color, financial status, and religious beliefs, as unfortunate as these ideas are. In Jonathan Swift's essay "A Modest Proposal," Swift uses irony, hyperbole, and sarcasm to ridicule the detrimental effects of oppression and discrimination in society. Jonathan Swift portrays induced inequalities in Ireland through the use of satire in his essay 'A Modest Proposal.' The rich and the Catholics treated the poor and the Protestants unfairly Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Some of the brightest young students at this school are faced with a growing problem. In class there are disruptive and downright rude students who do not contribute to the learning environment. These bad students are a terrible influence to the rest of the school community, those who don't care about their education are more likely to get involved with violence and gangs. Some of these students are simply "un–teachable" and are a waste of time and space, overcrowding the school and ruining its reputation. We must heed the saying "A rotten apple will spoil the whole barrel." After all, what will become of these worthless people in the future? I hereby suggest a proposal to eliminate all of these social ills, make use of high school...show more content... Judging by how many students are unwilling to take school seriously, there will never be a shortage of such laborers. If any defiant workers refuse to offer labor, they will be executed and their place reserved for some other compliant ex–student, there are too many people anyway. The economy will certainly benefit from this mass–production and the US will be recognized as one of the most prestigious and prosperous nations in the world, producing some of the most brilliant, top–notch scholars. This solution will provide a higher–quality education for the rest of the students in the future. As contrast to what could be, here is an example. Last year I attended an English class here at Arroyo full of students who'd given up on learning, preferring to fool around during class. The teacher had simply given up on "us" (or the troublesome ones), the class was rowdy, out of control most of the time. If only this plan was in effect at that time! The teacher could have taught class uninterrupted without having to waste class time rebuking those annoying twerps. With this proposal in effect, class sizes would be smaller and there would be less disruption so teachers would have more one–on–one time helping students worthy of their time. The learning environment/peer influence would improve, resulting in better performance, even the school's standards would be set Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Satirical Essay On Social Media There has been a serious problem that has risen over the past few years with teens and social media. Due to the creation of iPhones, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and whatever other technology they are spending ridiculous amounts of time on, their generation is soon going to be filled with children who are a number of things, such as, restless, robotic, obese, uneducated, and even antisocial. As a high school teacher, I have recently noticed a drastic drop in many of my student's grades and I could not for the life of me find out why. At first, I thought It may have had something to do with my teaching skills which made me so concerned that I even went to other teachers for advice. After weeks passed and student's grades kept falling, I got really down on myself and every night I would have an emotional breakdown on my husband. Then finally, I came to the realization it had nothing to do with my teaching job, it was actually because the students who are making poor grades are so emotionally consumed in their small pixel screen, even while in class. Recently a survey was done by researchers to get an overview on how often teens "have to" check their social media. The results were that 92 percent of the surveyed teens go online daily and that includes...show more content... To give an ethical appeal I said that I am a teacher. By saying this I gave credibility to myself for the information I was providing in order to convince my readers. I used a logical appeal when I gave the statistic "92 percent of the surveyed teens go online daily and that includes the 24 percent who said they are on it almost constantly". This appealed to the readers because it shows just how much teens are actually consumed in social media. Also, to appeal to emotion I used words such as, antisocial, obese, slugs, emotional breakdown, and my heart aches to create an emotional response. In doing so it helped me convince my audience of my Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Rhetorical Analysis Of A Modest Proposal A Modest Rhetorical Analysis Since its original publishing in 1729, Jonathan Swift's pamphlet "A Modest Proposal" has endured for its rhetorical complexity (and sheer satirical absurdities). Through judicious use of ethos (ethical appeal), logos (logical appeal), and pathos (emotional appeal), Swift crafts a sarcastic, insincere, overly embellished argument to address Irelands food shortage and economic crisis meant to simultaneously entice and repulse readers. His audience is explicitly asked to accept the intentionally horrifying idea that the numerous children of Ireland's poorest class can be made useful predominantly as food, but also as footwear, for wealthier citizens. While more limited than the other appeals, Swifts ethos...show more content... Swift goes on to number the population, in order to highlight the grave economic crises facing the country, before performing calculations that proclaim–even after allowances are made–"there will remain an hundred and seventy thousand breeders" to further emphasize the sound reasoning of his argument... despite the likely arbitrary nature of his numbers and math. (Swift, 1). Pathos, however, made the bulk of Swifts proposal, in an undisguised effort to counter the (hopefully remote) possibility that his satiric mockery might be taken at all seriously. Clearly desiring to prompt the deepest disgust and revulsion, he was particularly liberal in his use of dehumanizing comparisons, repeatedly referring to women of child–bearing age as "breeders," likening them to the bearing animals of a typical farm, claiming that "Men would become as fond of their wives during the time of their pregnancy as they are now of their" breeding stock. What's more, Swift extended this association, boldly stating that women would choose to be breeding livestock when he specified that "another great advantage" of his proposal would be a decrease in "voluntary abortions" and filicide because mothers would be more compassionate "toward their children, when they were sure of a settlement for life" and "to their Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Today, cell phones are a major part of our life. It has made things much more convenient by enabling us to communicate with others in a small amount of time. One of the most used functions on the cell phone is not the phone, but the instant text messaging. Who wouldn't love such a quick, easy method of communication? Just flip open your cell phone, type in a quick "meet me @ 2 plz" and press send. Text messaging is an easy and discrete way of communicating with others, but it has its disadvantages and advantages. It is not a surprise why texting can cause so man problems physically and mentally. There are several advantages for texting rather than having a voice communication. One main argument of why texting is better is that it...show more content... It can also take up large amount of time that can be used for something important. Another disadvantage is that texting has changed the importance of grammar and the correct spelling, causing many problems because people simply do not know how to write formally and accurately. After texting started, the language of texting was born. Grammar, spelling, abbreviation did not matter anymore, which is why texting is largely popular with the younger generation. Finally, one last disadvantage is that texting is so popular now that people even use it while driving. Texting while driving is a growing issue today, especially with the teenagers. Texting while driving does not only take your mind of the road, but from your eyes too. With car which can easily travel over hundred miles per hour has made it even more dangerous for drivers who text. A mille–second is all that is needed for a fast paced car to go out of control; from there it's all a disaster. One thing is certain. Interpersonal connections and socialization is changing. While the speed and ease of cell phones and texting seem to be making communication more frequent, it is also becoming less personal and intimate and is causing us to become more illiterate. Meaningful face to face conversations are becoming more difficult for younger generations and written communication is becoming a thing of the past. People can argue over the disadvantages and advantages of texting, but Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Jonathan Swift, in his essay "A Modest Proposal", effectively utilizes an extended metaphor in order to convey his message that we must take action against widespread poverty. The satirical point employed suggests that poor children be eaten in order to decrease the surplus population, and is efficacious due to the fact that in such a terrible state of affairs, cannibalism can be logically defended as a viable solution. Swift's essay, written in 1729, clearly precedes the existing social programs in effect throughout much of the first world. However, the ominous reality is that Swift's essay can just as effectively be used as a comparison, albeit a figurative one, to modern day society, if our current welfare spending continues. Implicit within Swift's essay is a call for radical change to the inaction towards the poor that existed in his 18th century society. Though his call was thoroughly addressed by nearly every global government, the poor class has not shrunk in any way due to this, and in fact, government assistance has only worsened the problem. One must only examine the nature of the welfare state to see the oppression inherent within it. By definition, the welfare state is a means of giving assistance to those who do not produce an arbitrary amount of recorded capital for themselves. There is absolutely no encouragement to work, no obligation for productivity. Rather, the Heritage Foundation reported that only two of 80 tested welfare programs in America had Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Analysis of A Modest Proposal Jonathan Swift, the writer of the satirical essay A Modest Proposal, grew up and lived in Ireland during times of famine and economic struggles (Conditions). Growing up with a single mother and no father, Swift knew what hard times and struggles were like (Jonathan Swift: Biography). His essay proposes an easy solution to the economic problems going on in Ireland for both the wealthy ruling classes and the poorer classes, although his intentions and the meaning behind his words are not what would be originally thought when initially reading the essay. Through his word choices and the description of specific events of his time, Swift uses satire to grab his audience's attention and get his own personal ideas and opinions out about all the...show more content... "I rather recommend buying the children alive, and dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs" (A Modest Proposal). Comparing the children to roasting a pig shows that the children do not mean that much to anyone and they can just be burned alive and no one would care. He also uses the word "flesh" generally to refer to the children when they're being served and eaten which is an animalistic association (A Modest Proposal). Usually human children would not be referred to as "flesh" or "pigs" at all. This, again, reflects upon how England and the Irish ruling classes treated the people of Ireland, especially the less fortunate. Other words Swift has a tendency of using are "breeders", "males", and "females" (A Modest Proposal). It's not common to hear these words in regard to a human being especially coming from a priest. More directly with his wording, Swift speaks of the landlords in a negative manner. "I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents..." (A Modest Proposal). This statement shows the way the English landlords would take every penny their tenants had. England and Ireland's wealthy class did not care for their people what so ever, and Swift's satire was very effective in proving these points. Most of Swift's essays were much less acknowledged than his fictional works such as Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Modest Proposal Rhetorical Analysis The sarcastic views of Swift's understanding of the poverty of Ireland leads him to make a proposal for a solution to poverty, where he ignores the concern of human morale by displaying the lacking efforts of England to help. Swift uses methods that work to get or help better understand a situation, for example being sarcastic in a situation where a person wants something out of the situation by satire. The undeniable effect of satire catches the attention of England to further display the poverty of Ireland which is displayed throughout Swift's Modest Proposal with exaggeration, incongruity and reversal. Swift argues with England by reaching out for an intense solution by the use of exaggeration to put forward an idea to catch England's...show more content... In Modest Proposal, it is evident on how Swift effectively uses incongruity to place a point under the disguise as incongruity. For example in the text Swift emphasizes, "A child will make two dishes at entertainment for friends..."(70). It is absurd for one to visualize how a child will be served for dinner and entertainment for people. The use of incongruity is a pristine example of how Swift's argument is backed up using satire. Swift's use of Incongruity disrupts human morale by replacing babies with food, similar to the way reversal is used throughout the text as well. Although the use of incongruity is used to seize attention through a sarcastic view, another way Swift uses satire to grab England's attention is through reversal. Reversal is used by Swift to switch the roles of babies to pigs, to emphasize the idea that these babies taste like pig. It is expressed in the text where the author points out, "I rather recommend buying the children alive and dressing them hot from the knife as we do roasting pigs" (Swift 99). This piece of text is evident of how Swift makes the point of having children served similar to pigs makes it sound serious, yet sarcastic making his point more clear to the reader with hidden meaning. The way Swift places reversal in the text makes it clear to England of how insane he may seem, but for a cause. This effective way of satire is undeniable of how Swift achieves his idea to bring poverty to an end to Ireland. Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Satire On Drugs The drug abuse is the most serious issue not only in United States but other parts of the world too. The statistic has shown that 24.4million of American including teens from age of 12, had used an illegal drugs. The primary purpose of drug is a medicine which is to cure diseases, but people in United States nowadays, have misused the usage of drugs by consuming them without recommendation or supervision from the expert. People use drugs as a solution to reduce stress, to relieve the boredom, for enjoyment and also to forget all the dilemmas they have. Besides, drug also can act as an energy booster. For example, when students take drugs, they able to stay up all night to study and complete all of their assignments while for athletes they able to perform well during the competition and at the same time to stay fit. Sometimes, people use drugs as they are curious how the taste of drugs is and want to experiment the feeling of drugs. They think by taking drug only once will not give any bad consequence to them. It is true for some people, but others when they...show more content... This money should be allocated for the development of a country, education and also employment. People who are under influence of drugs can act aggressively which means they can commit violence without consciousness and intentions. They are also willing to do anything such as rob, steal or at a certain point kill innocent people as they want money to buy drugs. As a result, the rate of crime will increase, the environment is not safe enough for the community to live in and it can disrupt people's routine lives. Moreover, it can give negative perceptions to the investors from other countries and they are not willing to invest or make a deal with a country that has high social problems.

  • 11. Examples Of Satire Essay To the Department of Public Safety, The amount of car accidents that happen each year continue to increase. This continues to happen because of the number of people who consistently drive distracted everyday. This is due to a surplus of reasons, however, many fall subject to driving distracted because they prioritize their cell phones more than what is happening on the road in front of them. I was involved in a car accident a year ago when I was struck in my drivers side door by another person. The events after are a blur, but I remember losing control of my car, traveling over the median that divided the directions of traffic, spinning around, and then rolling over to end up with the passenger side of my car on the ground. It was a miracle...show more content... He was sitting there, his car barely touched, on his phone. When asked if he saw me traveling on the road before he made his turn, he responded, "I did not see her. I am so sorry that this happened." Although I am not exactly sure why he did not see me, I can assure you that by the way that he acted afterwards, looking at his phone, he was distracted while he was waiting to leave. This year in my english class, we are learning about the different satirical techniques authors use to criticize specific issues that are found alarming. Our class analyzed a satirical paper, "A Modest Proposal", by Dr. Jonathan Swift, who writes about the poverty throughout Ireland and England, providing a exaggerated solution to clear the problem. We were given an assignment to write a satirical essay based on the same format as Swift's proposal. I can assure you that my prompt was not a difficult one to brainstorm. Many people are guilty of driving without their full attention on the road. In my essay, I concluded that a proper solution would be to completely get rid of all cell phones, and any technological devices installed in cars that lead to distracted driving. This would solve many problems such as, safer transportation, money saved and used elsewhere because the nation would not need contribute so much to economic and societal loss, and alertness on the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 12. Christopher Morley On Laziness Analysis With social media such as Twitter or Instagram, people have learned how to deliver the same message without using so many words. Technology users incorporate shortcuts such as "LOL" and "SMH" into their texts and social media posts, thus proving that people can still make a strong impact despite doing less work. In his satirical essay "On Laziness," Christopher Morley employs advanced diction and short sentence structure to disprove the popular idea that one cannot accomplish as much being lazy. Morley intentionally chooses words that are not only concise but also elevated. This conciseness allows him to deliver the same message while still maintaining a sophisticated tone. Morley elaborates in his essay "Henceforward we are going to...show more content... His short sentence structure asserts control on his writing. It allows him to direct the flow of his essay in the manner he wants it. When explaining the importance of laziness, Morley elucidates it as "Philosophical laziness, we mean. The kind of laziness that is based upon a carefully reasoned analysis of experience. Acquired laziness"(33–35). Through the abrupt use of "acquired laziness," Morley successfully switches the subject of the paragraph without having to write a smooth transition from one term to the next, while still able to fully explain his previous points. By enforcing this control with minimal effort, the author once again proves that he can accomplish writing a reputable essay while simultaneously being lazy. In addition, the frequent use of shorter sentences enables him to be more critical. Morley can critique those who are against laziness and not use elaboration to soften those critiques. Later in the essay, he advises readers to "Mind your business...but mind your idleness also. It's a tragic thing to make a business of your mind. Save your mind to amuse yourself with"(Morley 76–79). Morley's short directions are helpful while at the same time demeaning to those who "make a business of their minds."He makes himself an authoritative figure without heavy word use, therefore strengthening his Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 14. Satirical Essay Satirical Essay Rough Copy Recently, cigarettes have been getting a bad rap. No one seems to understand that the real problem at hand is not the negative effects of smoking cigarettes, but those who abstain from smoking cigarettes. These people are nothing but a nuisance, a lousy bunch of no–gooders that just want to ruin your fun. In fact, smoking cigarettes is an activity that the entire population can benefit from. The world relies on the production and consumption of tobacco, and there are many positives of smoking that outweigh the negatives. For example, smokers dedicate a large portion of their life buying packs upon packs of cigarettes, which in turn gives a huge profit to the country. Surely if you consider yourself a...show more content... Without the common smoker, who will buy things like teeth whitener and bad breathe killing gum? Surely coffee drinkers can't bare that burden alone. With the increase of cigarette smoking, not only will the sales of them help the economy, but so will the increase of jobs in manufacturing, tobacco farming, and many other great career paths. Now, onto the topic of the supposed "life threatening" risks of smoking cigarettes that people have been so vocal about. People that smoke aren't oblivious to these risks; they're clearly printed on the front of every pack. If a smoker isn't going to listen to all of these scientific sources, what makes them think they would listen to you? The truth is, most smokers know that smoking is killing them, and they should accept this fact willingly. Smokers get to experience the wondrous effects of cigarettes throughout their lifetime, and won't have to live until they're inevitable senility. Smokers know that living until they're old is pointless, because when you're old you lose even more relevancy than you had when you were young. Pick up smoking and die early, so that you can preserve your dignity instead of being laughed at as a feeble old man/woman. Furthermore, the world is overpopulated as it is; what's a few lives taken from cancer here and there going to do? If anything, it will help keep the population in check. Everyone who's anyone in the history of the world has smoked. For Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 15. Environmental Satire Essay Environment Satire It has come to my attention that our nation is in the middle of earthweek. At a time when we all stop, as Americans, and take a look at all of the great accomplishments we have made that we could have possibly overlooked while running around with our busy schedules. We recognize our efforts to create powerful industries and production plants that produce endless chemical compounds and new materials. The discovery and use of fossil fuels, of which has fed our automobiles and at times added a protective coating to our shores and beaches. The men and women who clear the land and provide the materials for our homes. And what about electricity? The greatest discovery of alltime. We must not forget about the men ...show more content... I think I speak for many people when I say that I can’t wait for the day when it finally warms up around here. While being an Oregon resident has it’s advantages, it just seems to lack in the sunshine department, and what a better way to brighten up any day than with 200 degree weather. No more wasting snow days at school, no more long sleeved shirts, and finally an end to all that SPF mumbo jumbo. You know that without an O–zone layer there’s going to be nothing strong enough on the market to protect our delicate skin. They’ll probably have some kind of pill I can take instead. Even if some of the polar ice caps do melt, that just means more beaches for us on our new glorious days of sunshine. So what if a few million people drown? I suppose earthweek is just another form of the government keeping us down. We have become far too brainwashed when we start to feel guilty for living the life of careless slobs. Though, one week out of the year isn’t too bad to have to plant a tree or recycle your plastics. It is the ones who spend their time and money developing new, safer techniques to ensure the health of our planet that need our help the most. They just don’t seem to understand the detrimental importance of self consciousness. We as citizens, as Americans, as human beings must take it upon ourselves to clear up any confusion and set these poor wasteful droids into the right direction. Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 16. "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift, and "Top of the Food Chain" by T. Coraghessan Boyle, both are short stories that explore the concept of satire. Satire can be defined as a kind of writing that ridicules human weakness, vice, of folly in order to bring about social reform. It is a kind of writing to bring about change to society. Even though both are short stories, they easily get the faults of society across to its readers. In "A Modest Proposal," Swift is offering an outrageous solution to the problems of human misery. He proposes that people should start eating babies, and using them for everything that they are worth on a daily basis. Swift creates a pamphlet and states six reasons as to why this is a brilliant idea. He states that money wouldn't be wasted on food, the number of Catholics would be reduced, it would be great inducement to marriages, there would be more food so the economy would increase, poor tenants would have money for their landlords, and it would be an improvement for the tavern business. Swift wants everyone to know how badly the Irish people are being treated by the English. He wants to change the reader's point of view through this sarcastic satirical pamphlet. The authors' purpose of "A Modest Proposal," is to try to change society. Swift is trying to reform the British official's involvement in Ireland. People are dying, and nothing is being done about it. He is trying to shock readers with a twisted story, but also bring about change Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 17. Reflective Essay: For A Satire For a laugh, really. I feel like the author wanted to put out something new and exciting with situations that were very realistic whilst being comedic. I personally think that this book series was intended for an older audience. It's pretty satirical with humor that would appeal to someone looking back on middle school as opposed to someone experiencing it at that time. Get more content on HelpWriting.net

She woke up on her first day of school and combed her hair, picked out the "perfect" outfit and headed out the door. What she didn't know is that after that day nothing would be the same. Nothing that day seemed to be going right. At school drama was swarming all around her, not exactly what she hoped the first day would be like. By the time the last bell of the day rang she was more than happy to get out of that school. She drove home as quickly as she could but as soon as she got home she realized that she had forgotten to pick up her sisters. "Great." She thought sarcastically as she sat back down in her car and drove off. Just then she pulled out her phone to message one of her friends about her awful day. That one decision changed everything. Before she had a chance to send the message Deej veered off into oncoming traffic and was killed on impact. Today Deej's dad travels across the country, speaking in classrooms and gymnasiums educating highschoolers about the risks and dangers involved texting while driving.

  • 19. A Modest Proposal And Candide Analysis Jonathan Swifts A Modest Proposal and Candide, by Voltaire are the two parodies that ridicule man and society. The messages in these parodies are both gone for a similar kind of group of onlookers, the privileged society. In A Modest Proposal, Swift expounds on a conceivable answer for Irelands destitution and over populace. His work was pointed towards the English, grumbling of their abuse. He assaults the English for conservative issues of Ireland by proposing a detailed arrangement to utilize the gross measure of kids as nourishment. He, as storyteller makes this proposition in such a tone a peruser with next to no training may consider him important, which was not the goal for the piece. His mockery is intended to disparage the English...show more content... For instance, the speaker in the exposition A Modest Proposal can coldly talk about the financial and social advantages of executing and eating youngsters while never giving much idea to the ethical issues behind these acts. The exposition is surely a parody that is gone for influencing his contemporary per users to perceive the sort of frosty, ascertaining cruelty of limit realism when used to address social issues, for example, destitution and overpopulation. Like Voltaire,Jonathan Swift introduces this incongruity through portrayal–for this situation, the speaker of the proposition. Despite the fact that Voltaire tends to show numerous issues of the Enlightenment by having various unexpected characters, the impact is the same since the group of onlookers is attracted and made to perceive the imperfections of certain methods for considering. The incongruity of the storyteller of A Modest Proposal however, is that he can go ahead to reprimand the ethical shortcoming of moms who have corrupt premature births or submit child murder. This unexpected character can create an impression that would appear to be simply monetary without appearing to understand its dreadful idea.
