The Goal
While you’ve read Swift’s “A Modest Proposal,” it may have less of an impact on us today for many reasons. One of those reasons is because we are used to having images accompany words. For the discussion post in this unit, you will be asked to work as a Reader Response critic. However, before you continue with the material presented here, be sure that you have thoroughly considered Swift’s original text. How do you react to it? Since the piece is meant to be satire, is it possible to find it funny? How seriously do you take Swift’s words and ideas? What does it mean to you? Again, you’re a Reader Response critic. What did you like and dislike about the piece? Did you have an emotional response? Be sure to review Writing about Readers: Applying Reader Response Theory.
After you’ve thoroughly understood Swift’s text as a Reader Response critic, continue to the following videos.
