I missed you all today. For tonight's homework, I have updated the Rhetorical Devices Power Point, so I will post that below, and I have added a disclaimer for you to read below before you read "A Modest Proposal."
A common mistake readers of "A Modest Proposal" often make is in the assumption of Swift's intended readers as "the English." This assumption could be a result of Swift's use of the "Projector" persona's reference to "them" and "they" when referring to the Irish as poor, but not all the Irish were poor, though all were affected by the economic exploitation of Ireland by England.
What effect would anonymous publication of such a pamphlet have upon the Irish readers? What effect would it have upon the English readers?
A to Z Rhetoric Devices (shoot, I just realized that it occurred to me earlier that the chiasmus example wasn't saved, so the older more antimetabole-esk example is still on the Power Point, thus I will have to update again! Anyway, for now, here are some more terms for fun! For fun, yeah!
