Enlightenment Ideal
Modern Proposal
Now it’s your turn to create your own Modest Proposal. In the same way that Swift was championing a
cause, select a cause that you think is important. In a similar style write a Modest Proposal for that cause.
Though you will use modern language and grammar, you want to retain the ‘flavor’ of Swift’s work.
