35 points to those that are able to . : ( i’m at a loss with this question. “after all i am not so violently bent up on my own opinion as to reject any offer, proposed by wise men, what shall be found equally innocent, cheap, easy, and effectual. but before something of that kind of shall be advanced in contradiction to my scheme, and offering a better, i desire the author or authors will be maturely to consider two points.” what point is swift making in a modest proposal by discounting other possible (and more humane) solutions to the poverty of the irish? a. that there are no realistic solutions to poverty b. that these solutions could actually be pursued c. that people should not pay taxes to support others’ children d. that tenants should be evicted if they do not pay their rent

By discounting other possible solutions in A Modest Proposal, Jonathan Swift's point is B. That these solutions could actually be pursued.

This essay written in 1729 is often cited as an example of early modern satire. In this satire, by proposing that the impoverished irish families should sell their children to feed the rich, Swift is actually mocking the British authorities.

In fact, Swift offers other less cruel and more realistic solutions to end poverty in Ireland:

"...Of utterly rejecting the materials and instruments that promote foreign luxury; Of curing the expensiveness of pride, vanity, iddleness, and gaming in our women ... Lastly, of putting a spirit of honesty, industry, and skill into our shop-keepers"

By embracing irony and sarcasm in his social critique, he mocks and attacks the tories and their lack of resolution to alleviate the poverty and famine in Ireland by proposing this inhumane solution as the only valid one.

that these solutions could actually be pursued which is  B.

here's some tricks. write on a book that you have read and really enjoyed. first, start by writing down basic event in the book. have your first paragraph be an intro explaining like the author, the reason the book was written if known, and other backround info like that. paragraph two explain what happens in the first few chapters and the signifigance it had. then for paragraph 3, do the same thing but for the middle. i'm pretty sure you get the point for paragraph 4. just rap things up and explain the call to action. for the final paragragh (paragraph 5) , explain your views on the book, the message, ect. tip: something that might is to go onto cliff notes or something and read the anaylisis of each chapter.
