Born in Ireland, author
Jonathan Swift wrote a number of stories and treatises
with themes that many believe offer great contrast. In
Jonathan Swift’s beloved tale Gulliver’s Travels,
the protagonist Lemuel Gulliver travels to a number of
fantasy lands, and spends extended periods of time
getting to know the members of the societies he visits.
In a far less fairy tale like work entitled "A
Modest Proposal," Swift presents his society with a
solution to the
thorny question of the staggering poverty and
overpopulation among the lower classes of Ireland. His
solution, in a nutshell, is to actually pay
poverty-stricken Irish parents to raise their children
for the culinary table, much in the same way that
farmers raise sheep or cattle for the express purpose of
having them butchered for meat. Of course, an idea this profound is studied quite closely in classrooms around
the world today. But students struggling to understand the
works of this great British author no longer need to endure
their struggle in vain! This site contains dozens of examples of essays and
