There are two different literary works using similar satirical elements, whether it is a long one, a short one, an essay or a novel. Among these two works, the authors bring light to the society that is going on, the political and philosophical problems of their era and age. The two works I see are Jonathan Swift 's discreet suggestions and Voltaire' s novel, Candid, or satirical articles of optimism. In "discreet proposals and frankness" there is a depiction of irony and cold logic and reasoning. There is no emotional and false philosophy.

Jonathan Swift's "Humble Proposal" With Jonathan Swift's "Humble Proposal" announced in 1729, Swift made plenty of sarcasm and sarcasm. Swift said that it would be a good solution to reduce the famine in Ireland and solve the problem of eating a child. This is not the purpose of Swift's article. The real intention is to inform the UK that their ideas are not better than his irony and that new ideas and efforts are needed to solve the problem.

Land In Jonathan Swift's "Little suggestion", the main purpose is to motivate the reader to focus attention on the plight of Irish people and find viable solutions.

"Moderate advice" by Jonathan Swift was held in Dublin, Ireland in the 18th century. The narrator is a very ironic person. His "discreet" proposal is by no means unobtrusive. This short story happened during the famine. Because of famine, Swift proposed the idea of ​​selling a 1 year old child to a rich family so as not to bear the burden of the family. An important way for authors to pay attention to the audience and try to help the readers see deeper politics may be slow or nonexistent. However, some social commentators like Jonathan Swift paid inert aristocracy's attention using clever, targeted and satirical criticisms in his brochure "Humble Proposal". He finished this criticism through irony, especially Juvenanlian satire.
