How do satire and irony swift accomplish what a more conventional persuasive approach would not have accomplished (or had the same effect)?

Satire and irony helped Swift.

Explanation:

In 'A Modest Proposal' by 'Jonathan Swift', author creates satire and irony in his narration.

Swift uses dramatical irony by suggesting that Irish should sell their babies to the rich so that they can grow the economy of the country. He wants to show how ignorant the rich are about the condition of the poor Irish people. Persuasive approach would not have created this effect.

The text is so satirical that he believes that country will honor him by building his statue for his proposal.  

He creates irony by saying that new-born of a under-nourished poor mother will weigh twelve pounds. But in actual this is a good healthy baby. So, he is using satire in his argument to show the plight of the people. It makes the reader think about them.

free time is when all my homework and chores have been done for the day and i am "free" to do things that i enjoy doing.

usually i spend time watching television. as my favorite tv shows come on at specific times, i make sure that i finish my homework and chores well before the shows. otherwise i will have to miss them. mostly i manage to watch the shows but sometimes extra homework or chores may cause me to miss a show or two, but it is rare. anyhow if i know that i am definitely not able to catch a show in time, i will just set the video recorder to tape the show sothe evening when the weather is fine, i sometimes go for a stroll around the neighborhood with my friends. this is the time when most the neighbors have come home from work or school. we say hello to those whom we know. they are mostly friendly people and they acknowledge our greetings. once in a while we come upon unfriendly neighbors but we just ignore them and carry on. that i can watch it later.
