For this first discussion board, present an important passage from “A Modest Proposal,” The Rape of the Lock, or “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” and then analyze it.

What makes this passage worthy of attention? Does it help develop a character or theme? Does it establish the setting? Does it identify a moral or social concern?
