read the following passage from jonathan swift's essay "a modest proposal":
i can think of no one objection that will possibly be raised against this proposal,
unless be that the number of people will be thereby much lessened in the
kingdom. this i freely own, and 'twas indeed one principal design in offering it to
the world. i desire the reader will observe, that i calculate my remedy for this one
individual kingdom of ireland, and for no other that ever was, is, or i think ever can
be upon earth. therefore let no man talk to me of other expedients: of taxing our
absentees at five shillings a pound: of using neither cloaths, nor household
furniture, except what is of our own growth and manufacture: of curing the
expensiveness of pride, vanity, idleness, and gaming in our women: of introducing
a vein of parsimony, prudence and temperance: of learning to love our country
of teaching landlords to have at least one degree of mercy towards their tenants.
lastly, of putting a spirit of honesty, industry, and skill into our shop-keepers
what point does swift want to make in the passage, and does he use satire effectively to make that
point? write a short argument to answer these questions. be careful to include a clear thesis and to
respond to at least one counter-argument. develop your argument with specific details from the
passage.

On november 17, 1968, football fans across the united states sat glued to their televisions. a close game between two top teams—the new york jets and the oakland raiders—was being broadcast. when the jets pulled ahead with only fifty seconds remaining, viewers went wild. but then, just as the raiders were bringing the ball across midfield, the game disappeared from the screen! in its place, a previously scheduled children's movie, heidi, started playing. callers flooded the tv network's phone lines, but it was too late. the raiders scored two touchdowns in the very final moments—touchdowns that were unseen by all but west coast viewers. as a result of the interrupted event, dubbed "the heidi game," television networks began delaying their regularly scheduled programs until football games had ended.
