list three advantages the speaker claims for his proposal.

A modest Proposal' is a satirical esay by Jonathan Swift published in1729.In the essay Swift appears to suggest that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their childern as food for rich English ladies and gentlemen.

a young healthy child well-nourished is a most

delicious and wholesome food, whether stewed

roasted, baked or boiled...

By doing so the childern will not only cease to be a burden to their poor parents but also fetch them some bucks.Secondly the landlords and ladies will get to eat wholesome and nutritious food.

The readers unacquainted with its reputation as a satirical work are often taken in by the mockserious irony as they fail to realize that Swift was not proposing cannibalism and infanticide but poking fun at the British authorities who stifled the Irish economy with severe restrictions.

The essay is widely held to be one of the greatest examples of irony in the history of English Literature.

The proposal of eating their young?

No, this is better,

First, it would lessen the number of papists. It would also give poorer tenants something valuable of their own. And third, it would improve the making of good bacon.

Six reasons why the proposal should be adopted.

First, it will decrease the number of dangerous Catholics. Second, it will give the poor some property. Third, it will increase the nation’s overall wealth, since people will not have to pay for the upkeep of the children. Fourth, the mothers will be free of the burden of bringing up children. Fifth, the new food will be welcomed in taverns and culinary circles. Sixth, it will enhance the institution of marriage as women take better care of their infants so that they may be sold, and men will take better care of their wives so that their wives can make more babies to sell.
