Do you need to make a conclusion from Jonathan Swift? The reading, “A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift is a work of satire. Essentially, the author is proposing that in order to solve the ongoing economic crisis, people should consider the idea of selling human children as food (in the same way as livestock). It was remembered his religious interest of their children. It is a melancholy object to those, who walk through this great town or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads, and cabin-doors crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags, and importuning every passager for alms. The author was making a common-wealth, so well of the public, set up for a preserver of the nation. The comparison of the author was an American of his acquaintance in London, make the health of children, and he would learn his skills of project.
