- A Modest Proposal - FULL Audio Book - by Jonathan Swift - Comedic Satire - "A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People From Being a Burden on Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Publick" commonly referred to as A Modest Proposal, is a Juvenalian satirical essay written and published anonymously by Jonathan Swift in 1729. Swift suggests that impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. This satirical hyperbole mocks heartless attitudes towards the poor, as well as Irish policy in general.
In English writing, the phrase "a modest proposal" is now conventionally an allusion to this style of straight-faced satire.

Wtf same. This must be a point in the curriculum
@@derrenjack8001 Maybe? I know different states have different curriculums
This is a perfect example of the virtue of trolling reactionaries with the logical conclusions of their own rhetoric. It's beautiful. More of this in our world today would not be unwelcome.
How so?

This is cursed and I love this.
In a nutshell:
OMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM!!!!
Anyone ever seen a promised never land?
Great video It’s almost midnight and I have to read this and answer questions for my AP American Language class that are due at 12am. No stuttering, no monotone voice, and not too long. Heck the voice low key fits the tone of the story. 10/10 👌
This is hilarious! Thanks for the recording!
It's why it's one of my favorite satirical pieces!
I do. 😘
Your Answer is Yes. 💆
Thank you for this recording, I could not read all 13 pages on my own
How can I get the iBook?
*CEO’s* : ‘zero-stars. Don’t remind others that we were down with child labor, bro’
Any CC kids here?
10:29 In the captions it should say _Wonting._
The captions make this mistake several times.
I had to pick a novel from 1700’s to do an in class write on and honestly I’m glad I get to write about sarcasm and cannibalism XD
Im here for english 😭😭
Thanks!!!
Albert Fish, is that you?! 😂🤦♀️

The narrator sounds like he's trying to do an impression of Riff Raff from RHPS 😂

It’s not just for children, it’s for everyone.
Take it easy on the Ps.
y'all doing this is AP English or English 12, can't relate. my English 11 teacher is making us do this.
deep sigh
its 37 minutes before my exam and I'm listening to this, I want to throw up after reading/listening to this...
Is this real?!

I think I'm the only one who didn't have to read this and just came from Technoblade
Also: 2:55 is THAT time
Too prescient - nothing is more grotesque or insufferable than the false consciousness of the bourgeoisie and this is a scathing indictment of it that is timeless.
I need this for apex
Is this just reverse voregousie

Planned parenthood's true origin.
so cannabilism or deeper meaning? really shocked me, to say the least.
The cannibalism is a metaphor for the exploitation of the Irish by the English. Swift was saying "you jerks treat us like cattle already, so I guess you wouldn't object to literally fattening us up to eat like cattle, too".
This is a very odd joke
Technoblade never dies

He said babies was most delicious after 1 year, whether stewed, baked, or boiled

*canibalism*
A modest proposal ka hindi me summary sir please
@Technoblade brought me here
sounds kinda like chinas one child policy
How?
Omg yes, get played AP English
Was he really advocating eating babies ?
Sarcastically
It's satire, but he does sound serious. It's really messed up.
He was not. This is a satirical book. Although, many during his time believed he was serious at the time of publication, funnily enough

Abortion be all like- "Hey, if their- I mean it, isn't human, we can do what we want with it!"

AOC must understand this is satire, not a blueprint
LOL
Yummy.
Nagisa Dies hey you dm me on IG @UncleQuille I need you to help me cheat

Funniest man alive

@@limeahhDistgusting I would never eat a baby, but i could always use a good pair of summer boots.
he's not being serious
HCØ Anyone?
jep
Hey whaddup
what the f!@#
It’s satire. 😂 shockingly dark humor as a subversive commentary on the cruelty of the British elites in their real life persecution of the lower class / Irish.
It was a different time, when it actually took some afford, to troll racist fascists.
? This was about a conflick between the English and Irish.
