Answer:

The reasons that prompted Swift to write "A Modest Proposal were:

Severe poverty in Ireland brought about by heavy English taxation

England's refusal to allow Ireland self-government

Explanation:

A modest proposal was an essay Jonathan Swift wrote to convince the crown to change and help Irelands society. Because poverty had made them very difficult to raise their children and provide them with a good quality of life instead of making them suffer from poverty. Now, the reasons behind it were that in the first place the English crown was incredibly corrupt and they charged high taxes to their colonies/territories outside England. Also, it was a petition for a new for a government that would allow the Irish to create an interdependent system to not rely only on England's decisions.

Does poetry have power? If it does, define what kind of power? If it doesn't, explain why it doesn't have power?'

dalvyx [7]

While a definition of 'power' may be needed, one could argue that poetry has a specific type of power, related to the transmission of experience. Humanity's first approaches to culture communication were done on verse, in the form of poetry (as one can see on the different chansons de geste around Europe, Homeric poems and Greek theatre, and the folklore of orient, for example). Poetic language can transmit human experiences; it can, through the use of verse, of repetition and other poetic devices, cultivate the memory of a particular experience, moment or emotion in a way that prose, due to its to novelty and information, can´t.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The imagery of Sir Ralph's reaction affects the mood of this stanza by creating an anguished mood. The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

In this stanza, the author uses words such as despair which shows how dramatic the scene is. Sir Ralph seems to react in a very bad way and the movement the phrases "the waves rush in on every side" and "the ship is sinking" give the excerpt create a very rough, sad mood.
