    loved the interpretation of dehumanization.

      Thanks. It seems rather relevant at the moment...

    That was really a detailed analysis of the essay, thanks I needed that because I missed my lectures.

    Shocked and appalled at first but after realizing what Swift was doing with this writing I thought it was brilliant and very clever

      It is shocking, and highly effective.

    I have a question, and I don’t want this to seem like a dig against you because I got a lot from both your videos on this text. But, how do you get student participation when you teach other than having them chime in every now and then?
    I work at a school where if an administrator came in and saw me lecturing for 40 min, I’d get a bad comment on my evaluation.
    Is this a college course? AP perhaps?

      Hi there, I work in a university where the Administrators stay out of my classroom. It's a healthy situation as such.

    Indentured servitude. Who sells Themselves into slavery?

      Starving, indebted, and desperate people.

      @@LitProf Not the same. Servitude surely, but they had rights that African enslaved did not have. And given the scope of freedoms one did not nor could not have during slavery, no person would willingly give up themselves. I might gamble on a messed up contract. The Irish came the the islands and were overseers. They blended into mainstream society. Their names are left on our people, not the other way around. The Irish did suffer terribly, but not in the same way as African enslaved people.

      What does Swift’s work have to do with the transatlantic African slave trade?
      Comparisons can be made without saying they are the same.

      @@LitProf They are not the same. Depending on how the comparison is used, it can be misleading, especially without the proper context.
