in "a modest proposal",   by jonathan swift, the statement that effectively uses a quotation to show that swift is criticizing landlords is according to swift, "this food will be somewhat dear."

swift, writes about how ireland is suffering for being under british rule. he writes about how impoverished couples have trouble feeding their children. to avoid this, swift, ironically suggests that irish women should breastfeed their children till the age of one and then sell them to rich english landowners as food. this food is supposed to be expensive so it will be suitable for the landowners when they invite people for lunch. he also says that these rich landowners have already devoured the parents by giving no rights to them and impoverishing them in every possible way.

the rhetorical devices that he used in "common sense" are syntax for his sentence structure and pathos for his emotion against the british unfairly treating the "americans" and logos of what documents that what happened to the pilgrims when they had the mayflower compact and how that the british were wanting to have one religion but the compact said for any religion to be accepted.
