3. Short-response prompt (15 points) Read the following passage from Jonathan Swift's essay "A Modest Proposal":
I can think of no one objection that will possibly be raised against
this proposal, unless it ... be... that the number of people will
be thereby much lessened in the kingdom. This I freely own, and
'twas indeed one principal design in offering it to the world. I
desire the reader will observe, that I calculate my remedy for this
one individual Kingdom of Ireland, and for no other that ever was,
is, or I think ever can be upon Earth. Therefore let no man talk to
me of other expedients: Of taxing our absentees at five shillings
a pound: Of using neither cloaths, nor household furniture, except
what is of our own growth and manufacture:... Of curing the
expensiveness of pride, vanity, idleness, and gaming in our
women: Of introducing a vein of parsimony, prudence and
temperance: Of learning to love our country... Of teaching
landlords to have at least one degree of mercy towards their
tenants. Lastly, of putting a spirit of honesty, industry, and skill:
into our shop-keepers
What point does Swift want to make in the passage, and does he use satire
effectively to make that point? Write a short argument to answer these questions. Be
careful to include a clear claim and to respond to at least one counterclaim. Develop
your argument with specific details from the passage.

Read this passage from “the fall of the house of usher.” which element of gothic literature is not obvious in this passage? as if in the superhuman energy of his utterance there had been found the potency of a spell, the huge antique panels to which the speaker pointed threw slowly back, upon the instant, their ponderous and ebony jaws. it was the work of the rushing gust—but then without those doors there did stand the lofty and enshrouded figure of the lady madeline of usher. there was blood upon her white robes, and the evidence of some bitter struggle upon every portion of her emaciated frame. for a moment she remained trembling and reeling to and fro upon the threshold—then, with a low moaning cry, fell heavily inward upon the person of her brother, and in her violent and now final death agonies, bore him to the floor a corpse, and a victim to the terrors he had anticipated. bleak or remote settings supernatural or otherworldly elements macabre or violent incidents strong language full of dangerous meaning
