A Modest Proposal and Other Satires

Modest Proposal

  1. Since this is ironic writing, what the author says and what he means are two different things. The thesis of such an essay will often come in two forms: The working thesis (the idea that motivates what he says), and the implied thesis (the idea that motivates what he means). Discuss the working and implied thesis of this essay.
