A Modest Proposal

The "Modest Proposal" mentions the problems in Ireland about overpopulation and how there are many poor people as well as children not getting the treatment they need from parents which they can not provide. Also, the author describes and tells this article in a very horrible way but also to bring to attention to the reader. The writer has a point though because he uses facts and basically in Ireland some people act inhuman by killing high number newborn babies or killing children and the writer suggests that might as well eat children for food since also the parents cannot provide. Not sure if that's truly what he suggests or using sarcasm for people reading to spark their minds that there should be a solution to this problem. also mentions how if a poor person raises that child then the chances will be equal to either the child will be a robber or look for a job.
