The problem that Swift identifies in his society is the amount of beggers on the street. The mothers of the children are unable to work. Swifts proposal is that children that are one year of age or younger should be sold as a source of food. Of course Swift is not being serious, he doesn't feel like they should really sell their new born babies. Swift's example is to  show that Ireland  needs to keep the stuff in Ireland and not go and fight for  for England. Swift is making fun of rich people in the society and how they act and treat people. His solution is clear and understanding, and he says that it will boast the economy. His example is that it is cheaper to feed a baby for 12 months then to sell one. I believe his satire is clear and is really funny. I think he did a good job in using satire.

I believe this ad is very effective to anybody that is determined to be a professional athlete. This commercial goes into detail about a young soccer player playing for his club team. Then shows what he did and what he had to go through to get to the national team. Throughout the video Nike is advertising their logo with shoes, equipment, uniforms, and soccer balls. This draws a certain type of audience. It doesn't just have to be soccer players, it can be any athlete that wants to make the pros. I believe the purpose of this commercial is to effect young athletes to perform to there best ability, and in order to do that, then they should wear Nike products. I believe they are trying to persuade young athletes that Nike is better than any other product.

Summary Vs. Analysis





 A summary is a piece of work that takes what is written and compresses it down 
to the main elements and point, there fore giving the main idea without having 
to go into great detail.It is a blunt account that helps the reader to 
understand the story or event. It also lets you or others know your 
understanding of the occurrence. When writing a summary you have to first look 
for the most critical point and ideas that will help you pull the main idea 
together. To have a good summary you should be giving an objective outline of 
the entire event in logical order. A summary needs to answer theses questions, 
what is the main ideas, where did it take place, when did it take place, and who 
did what. Although summarizing is taking all the key point and putting them 
together to tell the story or event in fewer words, there should not be direct 
paraphrases. A summary needs to be generated by your own words but not your own 
ideas or opinions. Dissipate the fact that you want to bring out the elements of 
the story, using examples and information in which is not relevant to the 
chronicle as a whole should not be used. Simply rearranging or using a surrogate 
word from the original text is not all it takes. When writing a summary a 
conclusion is not necessary but if the original information ends with a message 
to the reader it needs to be conveyed to the browser of the summary. Although 
summarizing can be very useful there are other types of writing styles that can be 
substituted. One of which is writing a literary analysis a piece of work.
 
       Analysis is another option you can do besides summary.Analysis is evaluation, 
interputation, and reading between the lines. Analysis is taking 
apart its pieces and then examine the elements. Somepeople would believe this is the
step before arguement. For example, relationships trends patterns, can all be analyed.
Analysis is also inference. You need to so some investigation and inferences on your own.
 
       Between analysis and summary it can be very difficult in understanding both of these. 
This is because they are so much alike. The one thing that makes summary differnet then 
annalysis is that summary is the events that happen in the story while analysis requires you 
to critical think.
