Swift
The article of A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift was a cruel and complex read in my opinion. The reason why it was complex read because the description was just simply disturbing and complex because the way he was thinking was to figure out some other problem but he used examples of cannibalism (eating children). It talks about how the Irish are really poor and they struggle to find food for their families. So they sell infants so they can buy food and the city starts talking about ways to they can cook the children to feed the poor. By this there would be a smaller
population of individuals and a decreased percentage of starvation. It would help the economy and become a industry. The rich would buy these products, allowing money to flow
through the society and creating stability as well as jobs.
