Who’s to Say?
I remember proofreading a paper for a freshman student who my roommate happened to have a big crush on. It was on Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal, but somehow this freshman didn’t seem to understand that it was satire, which would have probably been explained in lecture.
The opening lines of the paper are burned into my memory. “Eating children would not be a good thing to do. In fact, we could even say that it would be bad.”
