A Modest Proposal and School “Fine”

Modest Proposal and the “School Fine” article share a satirical approach that is very effective in grasping the reader’s attention. Both articles use satire to bring attention to social issues. The appeal of satire is that it brings to the situation some humor. Humor makes the article easier to read because it makes the topic less boring. Satire makes articles easier to read because it gets more people to read than it would usually. I know for myself that when I sit down to read a piece that if it uses satire and humor I am more likely to continue to see what the author has to say.
