Short-response prompt (15 points)Read the folowing passage from Jonathan Swift's essay 'A Modest Proposal": I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be
liable to the least objection.
Ihave been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London,
that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing
and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no
doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasie, or a ragoust.
I do therefore humbly offer it to publick consideration, that of the hundred and
twenty thousand children, already computed, twenty thousand may be reserved for
breedThat the remaining hundred thousand may, ata year old, be offered in
sale to the persons of quality and fortune, through the kingdom, always advising
the mother to let them syck plentifully in the last month, so as to render them
plump, and fat fora good table.
Write a short arqument responding to these questions: What point does Swift want to make in the
passage, and does he use satire effectively to make that point? Be sure to include a clear claim and to

explanation:

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.

explanation:

the answer is c the speaker emotions

the answer is subjective. i personally agree with the first answer for this question.

if one isn't strictly talking about objects then the correct answer would be 'my eyes' since according to this riddle i am asleep and in order to answer/open the door i need to open my eyes first of all.

however, if one is specifically looking for an object, then the first thing i would open would be the door

hope this !
