The Modest Proposal

This story is so ridiculous, that all you can do is laugh. As I started reading it, I remember that I had read this story either in high school, or in another English class I took in college. But it's absolutely ridiculous, what he's proposing! But it definitely probably caught a lot of peoples attention also. How could it not, he's talking about selling 1 year old children in a market, like they are chicken, or beef, so you could eat them as a meal! What's even crazier is that he goes into descriptions on how this will work and when they will taste the best, and be the "plumpest"! I just think this is the craziest story that we have read, thus far in class!!
