Write a modest proposal of your own in the manner of Swift to remedy a real problem; that is, propose an
outrageous remedy in a reasonable voice. You are aiming at about 4 typed pages.
You will need to decide on a topic first. Since this essay was a social satire, why not choose ONE of the
social evils of our own day - poverty, drug abuse, social media narcissism, etc. Then, think of an
outrageous way that you would solve the problem and follow the general format of Swift's essay. First give
facts and figures - and have fun with it.
