A Modest Proposal

Not sure kblvlb ivan was the only person who had to be there for me to read them but it

The product arrived in perfect condition and its extremely funny and brilliant.

I received a photocopy of this work in English Literature; this bound copy is far better. I laughed again as I read it.

Read this book for school and wanted my own copy! Great purchase!

My favorite short story. The font in this little book makes it challenging to read.

I love this book! Its one of my favorites! However, if youre not used to the vocabulary in it, or your understanding of the turmoil that was going on in this period of history is weak, you might not get the full effect or humor. Its still a worth-while read. Go for it!

Used for AP Lit class!

I do believe that if Jonathan Swift were alive today, he would be writing for The Onion. Which, coming from me, is highest praise.

I know this is a satire but it was still uck to read! Excuse me while I go puke!

Short and to the point, this is political satire at its best. While some background of Irish history is helpful, what I most like about Mr. Swifts arguments is that they can apply to any society where the group in power frets over what to do with the poor. I was in the middle of a book on the history of the Civil Rights movement in the American South when I read this, and what struck me was how Swifts satire lined up with the events a continent and centuries away from the original subject.
