I chose Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal as the composition I wrote about for my first Comp 106 assignment. I am very impress with Swift's creativity and risk-taking in the article, and think it is very entertaining to read. I enjoy learning about history and the way things were (like the economy in Ireland during Swift's time) through the perspectives of the people who were there. I believe it is good for society to have independent thinkers who are able and allowed to express their ideas.
