"The R-pe of the Lock" is an example of a Horatian satire. The purpose of Horatian satires is mostly to entertain and mock in a funny way. It focuses on the peculiarities of human behaviour, particularly when these seem nonsensical. It has not desire to provide social criticism or to motivate social change.

On the other hand, "A Modest Proposal" is an example of Juvenalian satire. This type of writing can also be humorous, however, its main objective is to criticize society. It is mostly led by indignation or outrage at a particular injustice. In the case of Swift, the injustice was the treatment of poor Irish people.

Explanation:

Question of policy is basically a question whether or not an actions should be performed in order to change the existing conditions.

In analyzing the question of policy there are three issues:

1) need - determining is there a serious problem and is there a need for solving it

2) plan - if such a problem exists what is the plan (course of action) for solving it

3) practicality - if the plan is accepted, will it soove the problem or will it just make it worse and open some new issues

Casey's speech contains pointing out the problem and providing the evidence to support the claim. The speech doesn't suggest any plan nor further analysis, rather it just states the problem which can affect both, the crops and people.

Answer:

1. Women were perceived as less talented, intelligent, and courageous than men. This implies the gender inequalities that occurred during the Victorian Era.

2. A fictional novel is literature that is false. They cannot be true and is simply a story created out of imagination. Non Fiction novels are texts consisting of real facts. Examples include biographies, reports, and news articles.

3.Francis Hardinge is a british author that loves writing revolutionary tales of fiction and whimsy. Every single one of her novels contain suspense, mystery, and fairytale-like details. Every young adult should read her because she depicts fantasy very well. Her stories just suck you in, and make you want to continue reading them forevermore.

4. I think the idea of growing up was established early in the novel related to the time period. (She wanted to wear a grown-up corset instead of a training one.)

Hope this helped!!
