As we have learned from this lesson,
the 18th century was the age of town life with its coffeehouses and clubs. The
real English novel starts to be appear, and we can see the effects of social

A Modest
Proposal by Jonathan Swift is a satirical essay published in 1729. Swift
suggests some solutions for the economical problems, but actually he intends to
criticize the society. What the most affects me is the way of making children
of poor people beneficial. The suggestion is not reasonable, but it was the
fact of this term, someone had to focus on this subject to make the authorized
people aware of this situation. Swift was forced to use such a discussing
attitude.
A Modest Proposal
is a mirror of the social life of 18th century. For the first time when I read
this essay, I was shocked, I said myself how can a human suggests that
solutions for the economical reconstruction. When I second read I got the author's
real intention, actually he doesn't offer such bad things, he wants to make
criticizing.
