WELCOME STUDENTS!

This is a place for us to discuss openly and honestly the literature we are reading. Here we are all just communicating our thoughts on what we are reading. There are no right and wrong answers. However, you are expected to be polite, mature, and on topic.

What's for dinner, Poppa Swift?

Jonathan Swift surely knows how to point out our foibles as a society.  Finish reading the selection, which is on page 502 of your at home literature books, and comment on one of the justifications that Swift utilizes to defend his "Modest Proposal".  Explain how this statement hits readers hard and makes us see that we must act.  (Deadline to post a response is midnight, Friday, August 16, 2013.) PS:  Don't think for a moment that I won't take this picture of my grandbaby when he/she finally arrives.
