It is concerned with the misery of England 's agricultural workers and the problems facing them. The appalling conditions of the period between 1846 and 1847 which left many of the country poor dangerously near starvation point, and their selfish exploitation by their landlords, stimulated Kingsley to use his novel as an instrument of social justice. In an outline of the story which he sent to Ludlow, he wrote: "I shall be very hard on the landlords because they deserve it" (Martin 92). In "A Rough Rhyme on a Rough Matter" the attack of Tregarva--the gamekeeper--on the squire sums up with splendid vigour Kingsley ' s diagnosis of the social diseases of rural England, and "gives some idea of the sexual squalor of the poor." (Pollard 211).

    Swift makes extensive use of Ethos, Logos, and Pathos within the first eight paragraphs to create a strong initial argument that captures the audience’s attention and provide assurance that the information presented is viable. Swift starts with an appeal to Pathos by describing the state of Ireland: “the Streets, the Roads, and Cabin-Doors, crowded with Beggars of the female Sex, followed by three, four, or six Children, all in Rags, and importuning every Passenger for an Alms” (Swift, 1). The description of Ireland leaves a gloomy effect on the audience, as they are met with a somber tone set forth by a description on how thousands of people are affected by the poverty in Ireland. Swift continues this appeal to Pathos by describing the state of families within this poverty: “this prodigious number of Children, in the Arms, or on the Backs, or at the heels of their Mothers, and frequently of their Fathers, is in the present deplorable state of the Kingdom, a very great additional grievance” (Swift, 2). This description of the melancholy state of Ireland creates an emotional appeal because, the thought of having mass amounts of children being forced to cling to their Mothers and Fathers in a desperate struggle for survival, is a morose image.
