Im looking for a book or an essay, I forget the title and author tho. It is about a failing economy and the only recourse is to eat the childeren. I want to say its Swift but can't remember can u help
Definitely worth it and definitely a classic in satire. An ooold classic meme, maybe? I get the sense that, for the art that it is, sparknotes wouldn't do it justice to compared to experiencing the tone and absurdity for yourself.
Like the other guy said, it's not a long read at all for an essay

A Modest Proposal if you are talking Swift

Is it worth the hype it is built up in college being? Or just leave it alone?

100% worth it and not a very long read. I read it in high school and have endlessly referred to it in the years sense.

@Patnou yeah that sounds like "a modest proposal" by Swift: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1080/1080-h/1080-h.htm
