3. Short-response prompt (15 points) Read the following passage from Jonathan Swift's essay "A Modest Proposal" I can think of no one objection that will possibly be raised against this proposal, unless it... be... that the number of people will be thereby much lessened in the kingdom. This I freely own, and 'twas indeed one principal design in offering it to the world. I desire the reader will observe, that I calculate my remedy for this one individual kingdom of Ireland, and for no other that ever was, is, or I think ever can be upon Earth. Therefore let no man talk to me of other expedients: Of taxing our absentees at five shillings a pound: Of using neither cloths, nor household furniture, except what is our own growth and manufacture:... Of curing the expensiveness of pride, vanity, idleness, and gaming in our women: Of introducing a vein of parsimony, prudence and temperance: Of learning to love our country... Of teaching landlords to have at least one degree of mercy towards their tenants. Lastly, of putting a spirit of honesty, industry, and skill into our shop-keepers... What point does Swift want to make in the passage, and does he use satire effectively to make that point? Write a short argument to answer these questions. Be careful to include a clear claim and to respond to at least one counterclaim. Develop your argument with specific details from the passage.
