A Modest Proposal

I just read "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift.
Well, to be honest, I skimmed some parts, but hahah so good.
I mean, at first, it was kinda disturbing, the idea of eating babies.
But I knew he had to be kidding, with him being a satirical writer and all.
And then I looked it up on sparknotes, (thank you Jesus for SparkNotes) and yes, no worries, he was kidding.

Smart man.
Props to Jonathan Swift for attacking all those issues about society in his satirical essay.
(A little complex for me, but still cool. Kinda wish I didn't miss the discussion...not something you'll hear me say a lot about missing class. hahaha)
