Monday, 2/3 - Your Modest Assessments of the Modest Proposal

Another Modest Proposal for overpugpulation

• P&P

• GUM: Swift was appalled by the squalor and shoddiness [in art, manners, and morals] that underlay the polished surfaces of Augustan life. He felt neither smug or satisfied with the world as many English people did he deplored the corrupt politics of the time, and the growing commercialism, and materialism of the English people.

• Take 10 minutes to gather as a group and prepare to present your findings:
• Group 1 - How does Jonathan Swift use logos (logical appeals) to develop and support his argument?
• Group 2 - How does Jonathan Swift use ethos (ethical appeals) to develop and support his argument?
• Group 3 - How does Jonathan Swift use pathos (emotional appeals) to develop and support his argument?
