A Modest Proposal Response

This completes the elements for satire because there is a large use of irony and sarcasm. Johnathan Swift begins by saying how women do these horrible, savage things to innocent babies by aborting them, but Swift thinks eating them isn't so bad. He talks about roasting them or putting them in stew and adding salt so it's delicious and nutritious. I think he uses sarcasm where he is pretty much saying if anybody has any better ideas to get cheap nutritious food, just let him know. His use of diction, syntax and tone affects how he sends the message because he is very serious. When he gave an example why it would good because someone else said it was delicious really changed his tone in the message.
