Answer: b) thus the squire will learn to be a good landlord, and grow popular among his tenants, the mother will have eight shillings neat profit, and be fit for work till she produces another child.

This is an example of satire. Satire is a type of humor that uses exaggeration and ridicule in order to mock the vices and follies of an individual, a group of people or society at large. Satire often has the intention of shaming individuals into changing their behaviour. In this case, the author uses satire to argue that a family would benefit and be much happier if they sell their child so that he can be eaten by the rich.

"Sonnet 130" by William Shakespeare. How does the speaker feel about this woman he`s describing? How can you tell?
Strike441 [17]

The speaker seems to not be too pleased with the characteristics of the woman he is describing.  He's saying her eyes are dull compared to the brightness of the sun, her lips are drab and have no color compared to red coral, her breasts are dun, her hair looks like wires coming out of her head, her breath stinks and that her cheeks have no color and are plain.  I suppose in spite of all that he finds unpleasant about her, he still loves her and thinks she is rare and valuable.
