Whom or what is Swift criticizing in his satire, and what techniques does he use to make his point? Write a two- to three-sentence response, using examples from the text to support your answer.

The question revolves around Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal where Swift criticizes the English government in the lights of the poor lives of Irish people. He ironically proposes Irish can solve their food problems by selling their children. Swift lashed out to the economic policy of the government. However, he himself does not put any economical solution. He only just uses satire in order to convey the truth.
