Please read the essay, "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift which is in your lit book on page 1588-1593. You should be reading closely and noting what devices Swift is using to contribute to his explict thesis (what he is actually proposing) and his implicit thesis (what he wants us to understand from the document).
If you do not have your book, and online version is available here. There are a bunch of random credits at the beginning and end, but I think you'll be able to figure it out.
