What is the emotional appeal in a modest proposals?

One of the very important emotional appeals throughout "A Modest Proposal" is when Jonathan Swift uses imagery to convey ideas to the reader. For example: in the very first paragraph Swift describes the melancholy feeling a tourist or visitor might get when they look through the streets of Ireland. He talks about the poor beggars and the many children that they have but are unable to care for. This strikes most readers as sad or upsetting in some way. Hence, triggering emotion. Hope this helps!
