Wild Peaches by Elinor Wylie
The line “We’ll swim in milk and
honey till we drown” depicts an abundance of supply of food or about prosperity
in general. On the other hand, the line “The spring begins before the winter’s
over” suggests an ideal weather where winter is short-lived and fair weather is
always enjoyed. Finally, the line “We shall live well — we shall live very well”
promises a good and comfortable life. Thus, readers expect that life at the
Eastern Shore is everybody’s dream life: complete, perfect and ideal.

In his essay "A Modest Proposal," Swift creates a satirical proposal: he argues that poor Irish families should sell their children so that they can be eaten by rich English people. Throughout the essay, Swift tries to explain why this is a good strategy for all involved.
The social conditions in Ireland at this time were extremely bad. Poverty was rampant, and famine was common. This was the consequence, to a large extent, of the unjust policies of the English, who controlled the island. Swift emphasizes this point by highlighting how little English people seem to care about Ireland. Moreover, he blames this on the government, targeting English leaders in particular, as well as the high classes.
