In this essay I'm going to talk about how two values justice and fairness are or aren´t in the story, before i start i want to write what this two values mean , justice is just behaviour or treatment and fairness is impartial and just treatment or behaviour without favouritism or discrimination , this two values are the same thing, i think that in the story ¨THE MODEST PROPOSAL¨ aren´t this values because the story is about overpopulation in Ireland that brings a bad economical situation because there where a lot of poor people and Johnathan swift the author(main character) proposed a new strategy to end this economical situation , He proposes that since there are many poor children and parents who have nothing to offer, it is better for the government to buy the children from their parents, feed them and sell them as food to the people who have money. i think that Swift have good intentions because he wants to help but the solution he is giving it's not the right one
