Based on this excerpt, the following is most likely the opinion of the author (but not the narrator):

A. He believes that one reason people are going hungry is that food is too expensive.

In Jonathan Edwards' satire, A Modest Proposal, the narrator exposes a solution to poverty. His solution involves poor families selling their children as food to the rich. The narrator states that the children's skin would make fine gloves for women and nice boots for men. Edwards writes this satire because many children were dying of hunger in Ireland due to their parent's lack of money. Therefore, Edwards does believe that the food was too expensive.

The author is the person that writes the text while the narrator is the voice in the text. In A Modest Proposal, the narrator agrees that the idea of selling children as food is great. While the author is simply writing a satire. Therefore, options B, C and D reflect the narrator's point of view.

HELP PLZ!!!!! The Pearl Chapter 4: Describe the character of Juana based on what she says and does. How is she different from Ki
solmaris [256]
<span>Kino's wife, Juana, is even more simple than Kino. Her reactions are those of the instinctual mother, and her life is devoted to her duties to her husband and child. "She could stand fatigue and hunger almost better than Kino himself. In the canoe she was like a strong man." She tells Hail Marys and utilizes ancient magic to ward off evil. Her prayers bring the pearl into existence. With the pearl in hand, however, Coyotito is fine. Her thoughts about the pearl thus turn practical. They can be married in the church and have nice clothes, but they do not need to have everything. I think this is where she differs from Kino. The Pearl represents nothing more than a guarantee of the basics for her family. For Kino it the pearl represents a radically different life. It also represents a sense of manhood that he feels stripped away from him as a poor man (i.e. can't afford a doctor). Greed takes hold of Kino while Juana remains untouched.</span>
