For our midterm essay question, I suggest that we have the option to compare and contrast the differences of how Jonathan Swift’s satirical piece, “A Modest Proposal”, and Fredrick Douglass’s “Narrative of the life of Fredrick Douglass”, impacted their society and culture, during that time period.
Or we could compare and contrast any two authors writing styles, that we have covered so far in class. To help us expand on the idea we can answer questions like, what kind of reaction do you think the author wanted their readers to have after reading the piece? Or what aspects of society do you feel the author was trying to portray?
