Identify a total of three examples of literary techniques from the following: hyperbole, sarcasm or understatement. how do these techniques enhance swift’s satire?

When someone studies a literary technique such as hyperbole, one has to remember that it is an intentional and at often times extreme way of writing used by authors and writers to cause a determined effect on the reader, in this some cases shock, ridicule or criticism.

When citing examples taken from Jonathan Swift's writings, this author was commonly known for using this style and has been named as the foremost prose satirist in the English language. Examples from his famous A Modest Proposal like, ¨...I rather recommend buying the Children alive, and dressing them hot from the Knife, as we do roasting Pigs.¨ would appeal to the reader´s moral values, or in ¨The number of Souls in this Kingdom being usually reckoned one Million and a half, Of these I calculate there may be about two hundred thousand Couple whose Wives are breeders...¨ the writer uses apparent well documented arguments to sound convincing. In another example, ¨carcasses of barreled beef¨, and ¨fat yearling¨ are his particular choice of words to refer to the abundant number of children in the streets that he'd run into.

Once again, these type of literary figures would enhance Swift's writing and capture the attention of his readers in a way that at that time, and still is a deadpan and ironic way of seeing life but with a certain degree of seriousness.

answer: b. grete might have remained as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the story.

one of the most interesting characteristics of gregor's metamorphosis is that, although he is the only character who has physically changed, it is this same change which triggered a transformation in the rest of his family.

by taking care of gregor, grete has become stronger and more confident. she has found a life outside of the house, and has become more independent and self-sufficient. the novel implies that the trigger for the change is gregor's own transformation, and that without it, grete was likely to remain as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the book.
