A modest proposal
When I was reading a modest proposal I saw a lot of dark comedy. Swift expressed how kids are molded by other people throughout their lives speaking of them like meat that is prepped, bought, sold, and eaten. I think that his analogy of being raised kind of like meat is very true and I agree. A Modest Proposal is a good example of a satire because his comparison of children as meat is a use of dark comedy poking fun of something that is actually sad.
