Satire is also known as literary genre or form. A literary genre is a Group of literary composition. In satire, human or individual vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings are censured by ridicule, derision, burlesque, irony, and ideally with intend of improvement. Some parts of A Modest Proposal do qualify as satire. In the beginning of the story it says “It is a melancholy object to those who walk through this great town or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads, and cabin doors, crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags and importuning every passenger for an alms. “ That is the first sentence in A Modest Proposal and you already see satire. I think this would make the ready feel disgusted for the person or in this case children being satirized.
