Like a Baby With That? In 1729‚ Jonathan Swift‚ the author of Gulliver’s Travels‚ published his piece “A Modest Proposal‚” based on the hardships many Irish were enduring at this time. In Ireland‚ years of drought had been exacerbated by a crop failure; this was the leading cause of thousands of Irish men and woman starving to death.

Although we proudly display our expensive clothing and gadgets paid for by parents’ money‚ there is

How far do sources G‚ H and I support the view that Attlee was ‘a modest little man with much to be modest about’. Winston Churchill once said of Clement Attlee that he was ‘a modest little man with much to be modest about.’ Contrary to this quote by one of his critics‚ the letter in source G displays Attlee in less than a modest way. Written by Attlee himself‚ it should give a true representation of his character as it was not intended to be published. Therefore he had no need to pretend to be

are in a country that is well on its way to being as overcrowded and poverty-ridden as Dublin‚ Ireland in the early 1700’s‚ if you had the money would you buy and consume another person’s child just for the sole purpose of eating good food? In “A Modest Proposal”‚ Jonathan Swift displays a model treatise of 18th century wit and satire by mocking the major problem the Irish have of overcrowding and beggars not being able to take care of their children‚ by suggesting that they sell the infants as meat

the piece seemed to become more peaceful toward the end‚ as if Mussorgsky was suggesting that after all the craziness that has occurred so far there can still be a peaceful solution. I may have looked too much into this‚ but I believe that aspect of the piece‚ the peaceful ending‚ is a microcosm of not just music but life in general. No matter how crazy or dissonant something may seem‚ peace can always come to you. I respect Mussorgsky for providing me with
