Modest Proposal #4

Irony is when the speaker means the oposite of what he says. In the modest proposal i think the speaker was being very ironic. Mr. Swift even though he is technically the proposer has many diffrences between him and his proposal self. Such as the fact he personally never would want the Irish to have their babys roasted like pigs! The proposer not only said that but would give a good price range of how much they would sell for, as well as ensuring the English on a better economy. Mr. Swift however did not mean any of this. He was writing a satire, and as a resualt used alot of irony. To the point he meant exactly the oposite and was saying and wanted the Irish to wake up and realize they dont have to take this abuse!
