Seeing that the animal or people and leaf animal looks aggressive being that the only way to stop it is in making a bad decision. Reading the stories has made me wonder what would be the correct way to act before a situation for the welfare of society. It is very difficult for me to understand or understand how an individual who is part of a society acted adversely in prejudice of this.

  • Hyperbole A Modest Proposal

    161 Words  | 1 Pages

    Many times in an English class you don’t get the opportunity to choose an essay that you get read; however, for this assignment we had that option. While reading these three essays I learned that authors can make hyperbolic and humorous assertions in their essays order to get their point across. In my opinion I don’t think this tactic is very useful to help the reader understand what is being argued. When using a hyperbole in an argumentative essay I think it sometimes can throw the reader off and they won’t understand what you are trying to argue and how it is relevant. For example, in the essay “A Modest Proposal” the author talks about how eating babies can help with famine and poverty in the Irish community.

    Eleanor Roosevelt once said “I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.” I consider curiosity to be what has made me the person I am today. Bombarding someone with questions should be my middle name. I always thought that being curious was a negative trait. Being “inquisitive” or ‘”entrometida” as my Colombian mother would say, was always something I had mixed feelings towards.

  • Ethical Dilemmas In The Rod Of Justice

    508 Words  | 3 Pages

    Being ethical allows a person to morally understand and govern one’s own behavior and the behavior of those in the same community. Unfortunately, in certain unfavorable circumstances, knowing the moral principles and actually following them can cause one to have an internal battle between what is ethically acceptable and how that person’s decision can place them in a pleasant or unpleasant situation. “The Rod of Justice” by Joaquim Maria Machado De Assis and “Kabuliwala” by Jorge both portray stories involving individuals who confront the ethical dilemmas of their time and situations. Damiao in “The Rode of Justice” is faced with the social issues of slavery and an authoritarian society. Similarly, the narrator in “Kabuliwala” is faced with social bonds of Hindu practices such as treatment of widows and arranged marriages for young girls.

    Critical Analysis of Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” In the work entitled “A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift, the theme of social injustice is enhanced by the use of verbal irony to convey a charged message. The ambiguous title and introduction to Jonathan Swift’s masterpiece does little to prepare the reader for shocking content revealed later in the text. Swift’s work is powerful, poignant and persuasive because it strikes at the heart of the modern readers ethics, as it likely would have done for the author’s contemporary audiences. Jonathan Swift’s 1729 masterpiece is a satirical metaphor centered around the pervasive assertion, “the English are devouring the Irish.” Jonathan Swift gives a more comprehensive exordium concerning his work stating that is it “a modest proposal for preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents and country, and for making them beneficial to the public (Swift 1199).
