Policy Proposal

Question 1

Create a document titled “A Modest Proposal.” Format according to MLA guidelines.

In a one to two-page response, respond to the following prompt. Although the prompt has several parts, your response should be one well-developed paragraph. Do not treat each part of the prompt as separate question. Instead integrate all the suggestions into your response, organizing your answer as best suits your ideas.

Prompt: Evaluate Swift’s “Proposal,” applying the three questions for identifying satire found in your PowerPoint notes. What are Swift’s real ideas about how to help the poor? What satiric methods does he use? (give examples) Do Swift’s criticisms have any application in our society today?
