A Modest Proposal

As I read through the reading of a Modest Proposal it did two things to me. First it confused me, a lot, and second it got me thinking, a lot. I am still trying to figure out why they killed young infants and beggars. From what I got of it was to feed the highly upper class people of the Kingdom. This paper had much to do with the upbringing of poor people in Ireland, and how to fix that problem. I believe that Jonathon Swift, the author greatly disagreed with many of the ideas that went on back then. It's hard for me to believe that back then they didn't have people to love them and raise them, but in all reality had them just to breed them. This paper was an eye-opener from what i understood of it, but at the same time confused the hell out of me.
