A modest Proposal
I am trying to place myself in the authors position when writing this response. I am not sure how to answer this. The effectiveness of the solution can be viewed in many ways; first, the way that he describes the uselessness of the thousands of beggars and the bourdon that they pose on themselves the kingdom; the solution seems very effective. Swift suggested eliminating the number of beggars while increasing the bond between husband and wife is an admirable thought. Swift is very persuasive with his proposal, uses detail and many examples when describing the current situation and his solution to the problem for his kingdom. Swift is trying to reach the wealth gentleman that is feed up with the every growing numbers of beggars in their town. Swift is also trying to reach the baggers that have not other choice, the beggars that have no food, no shelter, no cloths and too many children to fend for; the beggars that will do anything to survive. Some of the audience both the wealthy and beggars alike will be appalled by this proposal stating that Swift is a heatless mad man. Some both wealth and beggars will applaud Swift and say that he is brilliant. If his audience has children their response will greatly be affected. I would think people with children, especially women would not agree with the proposal at all.
