Questions

3) The thesis is in the last few paragraphs. Basically, when he states I do not agree with what I just wrote.
4) The children, elderly, and the babies are singled out, along with the mothers. His attitude towards the beggars are that they are nothing in the world, and that we should just leave them out. The Irish are presented as victims in the later paragraphs.
5) Swift only provides serious suggestions when he is explaining how we fix the system, in the last pages when he states what is wrong with the system and how we can improve the system.
6) This is organized in the fashion of chronological problems; he states the problems that need to be fixed and then how to fix them. Also, towards the end of the story, the purpose of the last paragraph is to show the reader that this is not what he believes, to prove the irony of the story.
7) Swift's success of this story is very good. He goes into much detail explaining the satire problems and what the world should do to fix the problems, but the end is short and sweet, applying simple solutions to the story. I think it was a very successful end and had the impact it was supposed to, at least on me.
8) This story is Horatian because it has light-hearted humor, making fun of the mothers and the children, saying we should just eat them with pepper; but the Juvenalian is when he addresses the real problems, the problems that are not so funny...the real satire when he is serious about the old "dying off."
9) This story is not the least modest. He shows the real undercover problems and the problems affecting everyone, and that is why this is verbal irony. He says the title with something that this story is not.
10) This story  has many examples of irony and exaggeration. When the author states the problems involving the children, and how they can not steal until they are 6...also, the author goes into detail about how we should eat the children, with herbs and spices. There is also irony when the author states that the old people are dying off anyways.

The missing ones are answered on the worksheet...no point in answering them twice :)
