Metacognitive Reading Journal 5


The intention behind this text by Jonathan Swift is to reform how Ireland treats the children of the poor people. I agree with the reasons and proposal that Jonathan made as it is both beneficial to both sides. Creating a workable labor force in agriculture department or other department can be very helpful to the government. Also, the minimal payment for these children could help them have better lives. Children are like innocent white clean paper. If we color it, draw on it properly, and then we could create great people for the future generations. I see how children (today’s) that they have nothing to do or anyone to guide them to an ethical direction. These young naïve kids wanders around looking for things, taking things that don’t belong them, becoming criminals. Therefore, if we set a purpose for them, and giving honesty income, they wouldn’t feel hopeless.
