There is likewise another great advantage in my scheme, that it will prevent those voluntary abortions, and that horrid practice of women murdering their bastard children, alas! too frequent among us! sacrificing the poor innocent babes I doubt more to avoid the expense than the shame, which would move tears and pity in the most savage and inhuman breast.

• As his proposal progresses, I keep thinking that his motives become clearer. He continues with the process of deliberately belittling the apparent targets of his proposal, that is the poor women and specifically the children. You start to get a real sense of his humor when he is basically saying, instead of raising children and actually having to feed and clothe them, why not let them be the food and clothing! His words are so understated and sophisticated that the reader almost misses what he is getting at. This is why I love Swift, you could say that he's a real hoot. when he says, "sacrificing the poor innocent babes I doubt more to avoid the expense than the shame, which would move tears and pity in the most savage and inhuman breast." This seems to me like a deliberate shot at his audience, that is the wealthy elites, because it is clear, based on the then current living conditions of the people in Ireland, that this level of desperation is in fact NOT appreciated by the people in power, thus suggesting that they are WORSE than the most savage and inhuman beast. How delightfully insulting.
• By saying he has spent many years developing this proposal, he is trying to convince the reader that it is an educated, well thought out scheme that has no flaws, compared to his colleagues whose plans are greatly flawed. He is also appealing to the readers who do not support women killing their children or aborting them, and this approach only further convinces the reader that his plan must be quite brilliant, as it seems to get rid of beggars on the street, avoid children being murdered and help feed the poor.
• At the beginning of this section, Swift is discussing the his hash views of the Irish policy, “I have always found them grossly mistaken in the computation.” He then goes on to advise readers the age(one year old) that they can be taken from their parents to “contribute to the feeding and partly to the clothing, of many thousands”. In the last couple of sentences Swift presents an advantage of his proposal, that it will prevent voluntary abortions and infanticides. He suggest that most women undertake these immoral practices of the unwanted children.
• The reader is set up to believe that the voice has thought of a way to have the poor take part in feeding and clothing others. It seems as though his objective is to prevent the death of babies.  The voice of the reading seems to be planning to become a heroic figure in society.
• Swift points out that his proposal has been thought out for a number of years and this is the only solution. Obviously, this is a satirical solution. Also, by Swift saying that he has thought this out, it points out that the problem has been going on for a number of years.
• This experience is throwing the reader upside down. Causing them to feel astonished, confused, grossed out, etc. The reader at this point may expect that the next part is going to be explaining more about how this system works. The person whose voice we're reading is expecting we understand and would think this is acceptable. the reader at this point is likely to be surprised by how the mothers are expected to give up their child after breast feeding them and becoming so connected with the child. The reader is likely to be surprised by what the Modest Proposal is and may be completely grossed out that not only do they eat the children, but they use the skin for clothing. The reader is being invited to make connections from the beginning of this modest proposal and how the author believes whoever thinks of a smart idea should even have a statue made.  Swift keeps his choice of words very well organised. He eased in to his Modest Proposal, keeping the reader on the track of thinking what they do in this community is ok and innocent, keeping in mind that they are keeping children off the street. The way this could evoke responses in the reader is by grossing them out.
• Ha! Swift is pretty wonderful here, not only does he not go out and say: "Hey guys, let's gather up all the kids and eat them!" which lesser comedians definitely would, but he adds in some sarcasm too. The last paragraph here is entirely comedic as he is pointing out that his solution is great because- hey- there will be no more senseless murdering of children or abortions!  I am not sure what context Swift is writing in, but I am sure he didn't write a Modest Proposal out of thin air, I wonder what events prompted him to want to write a satire about consuming children...
• "nourishment," "lawful occupation of begging," "provide for them," "contribute to the feeding, and partly to the clothing, of many thousands."    --- such a formal, neutral, and polished choice of words (mostly positive, or fake-positive), in comparison with the emotion-based plea what follows  "horrid practice of women murdering their bastard children" (...) "sacrificing the poor innocent babes," "most savage inhuman breast."    Well, put like that, who wouldn't want to hear the other "great advantages of his scheme?" (Although now that I pay attention to it, the word scheme in itself has some "non Kosher" vibes, in this context.)
• Knowing what is coming I find it ironic that he is deploring the sacrificing of innocent babies.
• Assuming this letter was a letter to the leaders of Ireland, Swift geniusly writes so the reader agrees with him, but in doing so the leader would be contradicting themselves, given their actions.  Here specifically, in the second little paragraph, Swift describes the horror of self-abortion, when technically that is what the leaders are doing- they are 'parents' and they're indirectly killing their kinsmen, or 'children', by allowing such poverty.
• Wow, now I'm really hoping that Swift is being sarcastic and not literal, which I can only assume to be true because-- well, he's Swift. Swift suggests here that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. That instead of having abortions, or killing their babies, poor women should instead sell them to make a profit.  By suggesting such a ridiculous solution to their problems, Swift is showing his readers how ridiculous the situation really is in itself. He is showing how immoral and wrong society has become that families cannot get the help they need to provide for young children and even babies, and by not receiving the help they need, women are being forced to abort their babies to avoid not being able to provide for them.
