You’ve now read Johnathan Swift’s brilliant (it is, trust me) satirical essay, ‘A Modest Proposal.’ He was sort of the John Stewart or John Oliver of his day, so…
Write a 2-3 page dialogue between Swift and a comedian of your choice. You can certainly use John Stewart, Trevor Noah. or pick one you like – even the late great Richard Prior. You’re going to discuss how comedy and society intersect, how they reflect and impact one other. So have at it and have fun.
