Imitating Swift's inimitable style, begin writing your own "Modest Proposal" for a solution to a contemporary social problem or political/religious conflict. You may tackle anything from education to terrorism to NBA players pulling guns on one another.
We will be in the 500 Building computer lab Monday to work on these papers. For class Tuesday, you will need have carefully proofed and complete draft 750-1000 words long. Remember you are imitating Swift, so big words, logical argumentation, and a matter-of-fact tone will be essential.
