Ironic is a wonderful technique for communicating information and calling groups of people to take action. Jonathan Swift skillfully applied this rhetoric technique to his booklet The Modest Proposal. The main argument of this sarcastic paper is to gather the attention of several incoherent and indifferent spectators. Swift makes his claim by concatenating a series of terribly distorted morally unsustainable positions to blame and target his target audience. Jonathan Swift's "modest advice" uses sneaky, sarcastic irony to seek a world full of abuse and misfortune.

Jonathan Swift, author of a satirical "discreet proposal" and another article "humble suggestion", came up with various ideas to change the situation in Ireland. Through his proposal, he was able to draw people's attention, and he used his irony way through the article to make his argument more successful. He wrote this article and shows how much Irish and its social class situation was neglected and worse. In 'discreet proposal', Swift uses rhetorical exaggeration effectively to express.

By choice of words, Swift artillery was able to feel irony with a "modest proposal". In "a modest proposal," Swift creates sarcasm using several different words. One of them is "breeder". He uses the term "breeder" to refer to women. In several paragraphs, he talked about these breeders and their roles. "I estimate that there are about 200,000 couples where my wife is a breeder." (Swift 2) At that time, he called a woman a breeder, not a political social country. Ironically, the work itself, and even the full title, educate the readers to a certain extent and talk about the different social classes, especially Ireland's poor people. Although this article is neither decisive nor definitive, it is simply an attempt to evaluate the importance of the historical contents of "discreet proposals".
