A Modest Proposal

While reading A Modest Proposal, the first i didn't understand it at first, but the second time i got it a little bit because i understood what the message was. In the proposal the man was saying that the Ireland ate one year old. Which I'm pretty sure they didn't do. I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled ...”Irony was used as satire in this proposal, he exaggerated a lot in this, seems things in his own way. ”
