A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift

This is my favorite essay in the entire book! It is extremely sarcastic and funny, which is definitely my style. He talks about how we should have children and SELL THEM! Of course he is just tryong to make a joke about our socety, but in a diabolic way, it makes a lot of sense. He makes fun of rich people and talks about how rich people don't care or are aware of the less fortunate. He makes the comment that rich people are so full of themselves that they would even purchase childrens meat to eat. I think the more fortunate or lucky or richer people should help those less fortunate than them. And stop being so damn spoiled and self centered. Because they will go to hell.
