Satire

The Essay a modest proposal in my opinion is not at all a satire. A Satire is a series of words and sentances that are arranged in a clever way to attack something that is wrong. It is like sarcasm and states something possiby nice but means the oposite. For instance its like saying "Nice day were having". When a tornado is rounding your block. But Satires are used more to attack things that are fualted in a system. In a modest proposal it might sound like the author is stating a ridiculous proposal. Eating children to solve economic problems that the un-fair leaders are only making worse. But i think that the Author was entirely serious when he sent that letter.
