Expo Comp Essay test on Jonathan Swift

Okay, here's the test. We have read and discussed "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift. I would like you to answer the following questions: 1) What satirical techniques does Swift use to create his "proposal"? Please name at least two, use quotes to support your ideas, and describe the effect of these techniques. How do they help us to know that he is not seriously proposing that we eat babies? 2) There was some fallout after Swift wrote "A Modest Proposal." Using the internet as your research tool, describe how Swift was viewed by his countrymen after this essay was published. 3) In your opinion, using supporting examples based on your own experience and research, is satire an effective writing tool to change the world? Does it constitute subversive writing? Make sure you expand and support your answer. Think of it as a persuasive piece- you are trying to persuade me to agree with you.
