Thursday's Special: Extra plump kids. Roast them, bake them, boil them just the way you like

I apologize for the late blog, hopefully everyone did their homework and hopefully everyone who did so got their UBC applications in on time. So on Thursday, just for recaps, we read on A Modest Proposal Jonathan Swift. It was definitely one of those more memorable pieces that we have read, in my opinion. It was absurd, but a very well written poem with convincing arguments as to why selling your children for food would be a good thing. We talked about our thoughts on the poem and our first impressions. In the beginning of the class we had a short recap on The Restoration Age, we talked about the Age that we are in right now and many various things. We also got our essays back and I do believe that everyone left class kind of in a more unended (made that word up hehe) way. Like the discussion on A Modest Proposal wasn't completely concluded and their was so much more we could say. But regardless of that it was a Thursday and we were all anxious to get home and wait for the weekend to come. Did you know that the largest Christmas present was the Statue of Liberty given by the French to the US in 1886
