A Modest Proposal Idea?
After reading A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift in English class, we are now assigned to write similar satire-based essay. We have to choose another problem and have an outrageous concept of a solution and enforce it using as much sarcasm and irony as we can.
If you have never read A Modest Proposal, his problem was related to parents having children that they can't afford, so his solution was cooking and eating them. He went into pretty great detail. (Of course he wasn't serious).
So I was wondering if anyone had suggestions as to what problem to write about.
Thanks a lot.

Well, you could use abuse and neglect of children and insist that the solution is that the government take all the children in the country at birth and put them in government run orphanages. Or maybe for obesity, you could insist that all belly fat be harvested and converted into fuel.
