ok how do i take the word "to" out of these sentences?
can't use this, that, these, those, is, passive voice, or historical tense.

Swift writes “A Modest Proposal” which right away shows irony because eating children happens to not be a modest event.

In one instance, a man named Flimnap, which presents a historical allusion to the Whig, Robert Walpole, falls on the King’s seat cushion.

The thoughts from Gulliver pertain to the wealthy because the Lilliputians, which represent the lower class, try to help him,which represents the upper class, showing the wealthy people do not want anything to do with the lower class people, which try helping them.

"Swift writes "A Modest Proposal" which right away demonstrates irony because eating children is not a modest event."

blah blah...

"...which represents the lower class, attempt at helping him, .......wealthy people do not want any association with the lower class"

............is that what you mean? I took the word 'to' out of everything.

Wow, you really need to brush up on your English and grammar skills. Are you in the 10th grade? I read Swift in the 10th grade, so I assume you are, but yeah, this is really poor writing. I've revised what you have to make it your work, still, but it was hard.

Swift writes “A Modest Proposal” which right away shows irony because eating children happens to not be a modest event.

Swift intentionally titles his satire A Modest Proposal because it exemplifies the immodest event of eating children.

Your second sentence doesn't even make sense to me, sorry. I don't even see a need to add that sentence with "to" in there.

The thoughts from Gulliver pertain to the wealthy because the Lilliputians, which represent the lower class, try to help him,which represents the upper class, showing the wealthy people do not want anything to do with the lower class people, which try helping them.

The thoughts from Gulliver pertain to the wealthy because the Lilliputians, the lower class, assist him, showing that the wealthy people do not want to be associated with the lower class people.

ok this is what i changed it to.. does that sound ok? b/c we can't use "that" or "to be"
