A Modest Proposal
So everyone is slamming this pamphlet. They say how creepy this book was and how incredibly wrong it was. But i have to say this.... I kinda liked it. NOT THAT I THINK THIS IS GOOD, OR NICE, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. But this story was incredibly good for a self reflection. It made me think about myself and wonder if what I do throught my day is exactly as hypocrytical as those who walked by those starving children everyday. Do I have things that could help other people and just hold it back because I am to selfish, or maybe scared??? It made me almost angry at myself for wasting so much time on the little pettty things in my life while there are millions who die from starvation alllll theeee timmmmme. So yes, i liked this poem. Not because it was gruesome or 'yucky' but because it made me look at my own life and realize that i might be just as bad as the rich.
