He will gladly work for two cents per bucket of peaches. Those two cents will help him get food, and he will do so willingly and without complaint. The kicker is the wages the landowners pay out returns to them quickly. They have stores on site where people can buy goods.

This image will play a role in guiding the reader’s emotion throughout the essay. Next, the author’s persona provides his “solution” to this national dilemma. The modest proposal, which ironically is not modest at all, is to butcher the infants of the poor and serve them as a new delicacy for the wealthy.
