As you know, effective argumentation appeals to logic (logos), ethics (ethos), and emotions (pathos). Please discuss how Swift uses all three appeals and how these tools impact his purpose.

Answer:

7 Swift enumerates six reasons his proposal will work. Discuss how these paragraphs impact his purpose. These paragraphs impact his purpose because they further ridicule his proposal and show the irony and satire hidden in the writing. 8 Towards the end of the essay, locate the paragraph that begins "I can think of no one objection that will possibly be raised..." How is this paragraph different from the rest of his essay? The whole essay prior to this is very serious, but this paragraph shows that Swift was not actually proposing this proposing, and that he was joking in a way. It has a much lighter tone. 9 Re-read the final paragraph. How does this paragraph contribute to Swift’s purpose? The final paragraph shows the reader that he was in fact writing satirical, and that it was ironic and should not be taken seriously.
