A Modest Proposal
Jonathan Swift proposes an idea that when society has run out of food, children are the next source of food. He describes them as a nutritious meal, making them sound very appetizing. In his essay, he uses satire and alluring methods to capture the reader’s attention, which creates an impression on the reader. The author then begins to explain the children’s dishes in detail and at a specific age they can be vey delicious. Jonathan uses the humor to capture the reader’s attention where it’s funny to the point where people have to eat babies as their last source of food. When a nation is on the verge of starvation the only other source of food is children, but no one is that evil to eat their own children. Not being dependent mainly for potatoes can help the nation’s food source.
My Amendment
George Saunders proposes an amendment to ban Same-Sex Marriage, and then he provides examples of some marriages. He tries to use satire to capture the reader’s attention by the irony where the opposite sex has to marry, not the same sex. He’s trying to say that the government should not get into people’s private lives. Then he suggests that men who are feminine become manlier, and females who are masculine, become more feminine. Everyone in the world chooses their destiny, no one else can change the person who they marry or who they love. The husband and wife love each other of who they are, not what the act like.
