Gulliver's Travels
In the world of the Huanhuhums Swift is saying that humans aren't perfect. The horses were capturing yahoos instead of the people capturing the horses. It is blatant. It showed a lot of irony; you could visualize it better. It made me think because it went back and forth between the worlds and brought out some good points to think about.

Modest Proposel ?'s
1. The tone is full of facts. He is straight to the point.
2. He has 3 or 4 main points; he talks about the problems first and then solution and benefit at the end. It's way to populated, the mother's don't support the children. The children into food.
3. If you sell the children because more people will want to get married and it will reduce domestic violence.
4. A false or mistaken idea is a fallacy. When he talked about the mother carrying eight kids and how it's saying that all of the country is like that. It is naturalistic fallacy.
5. My gut reaction to this is that it makes me sick to think about. My reaction changed a little because it's not meant to be taken literally.
6. No it's not meant to be taken literally. He is saying that one thing leads to another and that all of England is like this. That there is a problem in Ireland.
7. Yes, PETA does that.
8. Most decisions should be based on logic but some might be gut reaction.

4. I think I am both at some point in times because sometimes I can be uptight and other times I am relaxed and like to do things my own way.
