If you are hungry, you might feel inclined to turn to poaching. But be careful: this is risky. Taking livestock is theft, and theft is a felony which carries the death sentence. Killing wild animals that live on another man’s land is also against the law; even taking a single fish from a river can result in a fine of a shilling or more. It is unlikely that you will be hanged for taking a wild animal such as a rabbit; but, even so, you will get a fine amounting to three times the value of the animal as well as three months in prison, and you will have to enter into a bond to guarantee your good behavior in the future; a second offense will be treated more harshly. If a gamekeeper attacks you and you defend yourself, you can be charged with assault. You may find yourself on the gallows if you injure him.

What is the author’s purpose in this excerpt?

A) to explain why many Elizabethans tried poaching

B)to explain why poaching was dangerous  

C) to explain why landowners punished poachers

D)to explain why poaching often was forgiven

Answer:

B)to explain why poaching was dangerous  

Explanation:

According to the excerpt, it is narrated that there are dangers to poaching. Some of these dangers which are backed by the law include:

  • getting the death sentence for stealing livestock
  • going to jail for killing wild animals who are on another man's land
  • getting fined for taking a fish from a river
  • getting charged for assault for defending yourself if a gamekeeper attacks you when you trespass
  • going to the gallows for injuring a gamekeeper you trespass on his land

Therefore, the author's purpose in this excerpt is to explain why poaching is dangerous.

The answer is the first three. The speaker has a unique imagination so the answer is going to be directed towards the speaker. The first, second, and third answer directly acknowledges how the author sees things differently than everyone else. The other or last two options say what everyone else can see and is therefor not contributing to his imagination.

What is the most likely reason Rita Dove chose to call this poem a sonnet? The work has no rhyme scheme. The subject is romantic
eimsori [14]

A sonnet is a 14-line poem that rhymes in a pattern:

A - B - A - B - C - D - C - D - E - F - E - F - G - G

If the poem you're talking about meets these criteria, it is then classified as a sonnet.
