Dear teacher and fellow classmates: it seems that our little baby became a grown up who gave birth to other babies whose babies will become adults. WE have a continuous process of productivity here.
As for me, I can not stop being impressed by this breakthrough. I believe it will make the reading process more coloured and attractive.
Running out of suggestions as a result of my astonishment.
Hey y'all, let me know do you share this sense of interest with me??? This is the question thus far!!!

Do you agree about his proposal?

Dear Sameh

Who could possibly agree with this cruel proposal. Will it solve the problem to kill babies? If it is to solve our economic problems it will create a moral corruption. How in the world can he think of eating babies.
what about their families? would he let go of his bay and eat him boiled or rosted or whatever?

Well is it realy logical. I think it would be much more logical if these babies did not come to life at all.

If their parents had a surgary that will stop the pregrancy. wouldn't that be much more logical. or by spreeding the culture of responsible lifestyle. you know what I am talking about? and by less babies and more workers who have less responsablities the economic system will find its way to prosperity

wouldn't this be more logical, moral and cceptable by cultures.

Don't you agree?
it is not the babies fault that Swift wants to live a pleasurable life, and to eat MEAT.

Best regards and good night

Hello,

Thank you Alaa' for ur view. I completly agree with u.

Long time ago I haven’t hit the BLOG. Related to The proposal it is a little bit rational and irrational!!!
I know my response will bring several critiques and hot views. Yet, I do keep my view as view no more no lese.

To solve a problem like this one we have to have an incredible way. From my human perspective I don't agree with him at all. His view is completely imaginative and fragile when it comes to ground.

Economically, he was rational and his trace of statistics was completely helpful for a nation like IRSLAND. It is a poor country with no facilities at all. Putting such project into practice in that time maybe could solve this problem.

Critically, this proposal sets the tone of several writings in that time. Several writers attacked ENGLAND for it's severe dominance over Ireland. This nation till this second is suffering from this supremacy. There are several parties are still struggling to get rid of England's dominance such as, Chin Fin party. The Irish Church in that time was linked to the ruling system of England.

A Church with its corrupted figures of nuns and monks. It was depriving people from their rights using the God's authority as an allegation. Not only England, but also the system of classes which is associated with church. This pushed Swift and other writers to satire ruling people.

This phenomena of corrupted churches and ruling people was common in Europe. Look at Charles's Dicken's Oliver Twist and other writings. You will find several of SWIFTS.

Regards,
Sameh

i think this is impossible to achieve this proposal of course SWIFT was ironical one in this proposal specially when he tal; about selling children it was horible image.
