Reading A modest Proposal.

When I first started readin, I thought this story is going to be how the small country Ireland has came up with the idea to deal with poverty by controlling the birth rate.However as I was reading I found that idea of this story was very shocking and terrifying me.  I don’t think there are people who like to or enjoy eating children as a delicacy even back in 16^th century. During that age technology didn’t keep up with providing the enough food to all citizen but attacking the national problem of poverty by reducing number of children is very ridiculous.  The author Jonathan Swift was justify the reducing the population by eating infant children by providing the clear information like Ireland has no capacity sustain lives of 120,000 coming infant and no capacity to hire them both in industry and farming. He also mentions that until children grow up to age of 6 years old, they are can be a part of work force in society therefore those children of poor background make lives by being a thief but he said that Ireland was so poor so there was nothing to steal from people.
