In this excerpt from "a modest proposal" by johnathan swift, what does the author list?
i can think of no one objection, that will possibly be raised against this proposal, unless it should be urged, 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 houshold furniture, except what is of our own growth and manufacture: of utterly rejecting the materials and
instruments that promote foreign luxury: 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, wherein we differ even from laplanders, and
the inhabitants of topinamboo: of quitting our animosities and factions, nor acting any longer like the jews, who were murdering one
another at the very moment their city was taken: of being a little cautious not to sell our country and consciences for nothing: 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, who, if a resolution could now be taken to buy only our native goods, would immediately unite to cheat and exact
upon us in the price, the measure, and the goodness, nor could ever yet be brought to make one fair proposal of just dealing, though
often and earnestly invited to it.

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
