I like the use of satire in Swift’s “A Modest Proposal”. I think using that as a model and writing an essay on a modern topic such as the sex slave trade would be an interesting challenge. ‘Prostitutes have a free will and must want to be in that situation’ would be the stereotype challenged.
Plato’s allegory and Edward’s sermon would be interesting to analyze how they use arguments to persuade their beliefs to others. Douglass used very vivid and passionate writings to convey his message of slave and social injustice. I think Douglass and Edward’s had a very passionate belief about what they were writing and would be hard to duplicate unless you had a very similar conviction on a subject.
An essay about the American Education System could use any of these models and produce interesting results for and against. Research into the banking system could be quite informative as I think most of us don’t understand the complexities of it.
