Answer:
d. He states that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs."
Explanation:
Jonathan Swift was an English writer, critic and poet who had also greatly written about the political issues of his society and time. The essay "A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by him as a form of critiquing the impoverished nature of the Irish people and their economic troubles.
The excerpt from the essay shows Swift suggesting sarcastically that poor families should produce children and then sell them as meat for the rich. He implies that this will not only give an endless supply of food (meat) for the rich to entertain their guests but also provide a steady source of income for the poor people too. This will enable the balance in the economic situation of the Irish people.
An understatement is the presentation of something that is serious in a far less serious manner. This makes the issue seem less serious or less important. Swift uses an understatement when he stated that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs". Sending children to be killed and eaten as meat is a serious and horrifying thing to do, but he compares it to a simple act of "roasting pigs", thus making it an understatement.
Answer and explanation:
Animal Farm was not an initial success in Britain because of the critics it represented. The author, George Orwell, wrote it during the Second World War. In the novel <u>Orwell criticizes soviet leader Iósif Stalin and Russian’s totalitarianism.</u> During that time, Britain and Russia were allies and no one wanted to be attached to a criticism of Russia.
In addition, George Orwell was a Trotskyist, which emphasized that he did not support Stalin. Publishers did not take that risk and rejected the novel.
In 1945 the novel was finally published by Frederic Warburg, but it was not known by the public until late 1950s.
