A paragraph that objectively summarizes Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" and explains his purpose is the following - to improve readability, the paragraph will be divided into topics:
- In "A Modest Proposal," Jonathan Swift uses satire to criticize the abuses committed by the wealthy against the poor.
- The author pretends to be offering a solution to the problem concerning the large number of poor people existent in Ireland.
- His solution is for the rich to eat the children of the poor. That way, the children would be somehow useful, according to Swift. They would become food for the wealthy and would stop being a burden.
- With that, Swift is insulting the wealthy and how they devour the poor in a metaphorical way. Swift is showing how the rich do not care about the poor as long as they (the rich) can profit and live well.
- When we summarize a text, we must briefly restate all of its most important topics.
- One tip is to read the whole text once first. Then, on the second reading, underline or highlight the parts that are essential to convey the message of the text.
An objective summary, as the one written above, does not convey an opinion.
Thus, words that express judgment such as "great" or "awful" must be avoided.
