A Modest Proposal

After reading this short story I was a little confused. His proposal of poor people having too many kids was quite strange. He wanted to take the poor children and they could be distributed as food for people to buy. He thought this would make a lot of the towns/kingdoms problems go away. If they where to eat the kids he said that people wouldn’t go starving anymore, and people would be able to make money of selling plump children. Also, by his solution he thought that is would free up space in the town and it would provide more jobs for the rich. It would also keep poor beggars of the streets in the town. I personally disagree with his proposal. I think that there would better solutions out there, other than to eat poor children. They could enforce a law on how many kids you are allowed to have, or they could make it illegal to have children before marriage.
