Summary: One view on homelessness
Comment: This book is very interesting and you will not be able to put it down. It is a satire, but may take some time to see the humor in it after you start to read it. This book was written about 200 years ago in Ireland and is a view by the author on what should be done about homelessness. Swift's views are shocking and gruesome, yet gripping. The premise of his view appears to be very cruel, yet after thinking about what he says, you realize it is a mockery and is meant to be humorous, while still proving a point. His point is important and opens your eyes to the world and homelessness. I recommend this book to anyone interested in satirical works as it is probably the best one that I have ever read.

Summary: What I think about all of this
Comment: I Personally think that the modest porposal is feasible. I think that If you read the story you will be able to understand all of it. There is no way out of what he has sugessted. HE is a very smart man and if you had no thoughts and or emotions you would be able to say the same if you were just given the poposal rather than read the book. Although he is feasible, or should I say his thoughts, what he has said will and never will work to solve the problem. in order to do so there needs to be some kind of agreement that states " I put all of my feelings aside and contmeplate with what the eral problem is. Nothing will ever be accomplished unless this is done.

Summary: Essential reading
Comment: Economic advisors to governments ought to be tied down and made to read Swift's A Modest Proposal, along with Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations. The irascible Dean of Dublin's St Pat's had enough spleen in him for ten generations. His blackly intelligent satire is as sharp today as the day it was first published.
