Many authors write books about the events, their lives, their environment, and their corrupt government. A satirist who wrote a novel about life in a corrupt society is Jonathan Swift who wrote Gulliver's Travels. The places visited by the protagonist reflected the author's English government. The author's life will be shown similar to this book because of the way he lived. Jonathan Swift was well educated and graduated from Trinity College Dublin with a degree in English literature. Not only did he have a life in literature, but he also had a life in politics. This experience helped him write many satirical essays and novels against England and Ireland. His first political assignment was to work for the remarkable statesman Sir William Temple from 1689 to 1699. During that period, he also became a minister of the Church of England in 1694. After Sir William Temple's death in 1669, Swift became pastor of a small Protestant parish in Laracor, Ireland. He was ordained in 1694. His skill as a writer was highly regarded within the church and was well known in Dublin. If one were to divide Swift's career into "periods", the years 1710-14 would naturally fall into the "Middle Period". (Cook, V) In 1710, he became a powerful supporter of the Tory government in England. Through many of Swift's articles and advocacy pamphlets, he became one of the most effective public relations men the English administration has ever had. Conservatives saw how good Swift's literature was and hired him as an editor for their newspaper, The Examiner. His political power ended when a new government came to power. This was the Whig party. The Tory government and the Whig party were against each other and shared different views like the Republicans and Democrats in the United States. The last phase of Swift's life shows him transformed from an English favorite into an Irish one, and this almost in spite of himself. he was betrayed and exiled to Ireland by his friends. The unbearable lifestyle he had to endure while living in Ireland forced him to write his brilliant satirical essay, A Modest Proposal. This essay suggests that the Irish people should use their children for a cash crop. In the book Gulliver's Travels, the author reflects his life on the main character to prove a point: humanity is savage. All that was necessary was for him to assume a deliberate personality in the form of self-deception
