satirical devices in speech review, English homework help

  Speech:

Ladies and gentlemen, receive my warm morninggreetings  it has been four months sincewe last met. In deed ages has passed since I last saw you. I must say that itwas my best moments in time in prison as I joyfully took my punishment in theprison. The fierce prison wardens handled me carefully with much compassion. Imust say your prayers saved me much as I slept in between soldiers. The prayerand fasting moved God to make them release me, because of my faith: and notyours.

turn in a short reflection. Youshould address these points:

· What satirical devices did you use? (Exaggeration, understatement,etc.)

· What argument did you appear to make?

· What argument were you actually making? What do you actually wantyour reader to think as they conclude listening to your speech?

· Do you think Swift would agree with your position, based on whatyou read in A Modest Proposal? Keep in mind what Swift says versus whathe means.
