The answer to this question is Great Britain.<span />
Jack London, who was born in San Francisco, California traveled East to find publishers who would be willing to publish his short stories. He later returned to California with little luck with publishers in the East. Subsequently, he traveled north to Canada to take part in the Yukon gold rush. However, he again returned to California at the age of 22 because he had little luck in Canada in amassing a fortune.
That’s not how that works
<span>Dramatic Narrative: Ballads usually tell a
story, focusing on one dramatic event, and the story is usually told in
plain, everyday language. Casey definitely has these requirements
covered. The poem has a cast of characters and a story with a clear
beginning, middle, and end. And "Casey…" doesn't send you running for
the dictionary every other line.</span><span>Song: Ballads were traditionally stories meant to be sung. The poem's epigraph, "Sung in the Year 1888 [our emphasis]," along with the poem's strong meter and rhyme, indicate a song-i-ness that fulfills this requirement quite nicely.</span>Meter-Line-Stanza: Ballads are traditionally in iambic lines. Iambs
are those little, two-syllable units that follow an unstressed-stressed
syllable patten. They make that daDUM sound that seems to pop up so
often in poetry. You can really hear those iambs right from the poem's
very first line:
The
outlook
wasn't
brilliant
for the
Mudville
nine that
day<span>
.</span>
Did you hear that daDUM daDUM daDUM pattern? That, is the rhythm of the iambs—seven in all in this line.
In
addition to those iambs, ballad lines follow a strict rhyme scheme and
are grouped into four-line stanzas called quatrains. In "Casey at the
Bat," the quatrains follow an AABB rhyme scheme, where each letter
represents that line's end rhyme. Take a look at the end words from
stanza one to see it in action:
day A
play A
same B
game B

[Poem structure - stanzas. In prose, ideas are usually grouped together in paragraphs. In poems, lines are often grouped together into what are called stanzas. Like paragraphs, stanzas are often used to organize ideas.</span>]

The correct answer is: to persuade.
Let's remeber that to persuade is "to make someone do or believe something by giving a good reason to do it or by talking to that person and making them beleieve it." To achieve this, the author can use logic and reason based on evidence and facts, or he can appeal to pathos, the emotions of the audience.
In this case, in the <em>Tilbury Speech</em>, Queen Elizabeth is trying to convince her troops that although she is a woman she is very capable to be a good leader and take them to victory. She is encouraging them to fight against the Spanish invasion. Their later victory against the Spanish Armada shows that this speech was effective as it made the troops follow their queen's leadership.
In the Response to the <em>Parliament's Request that she marry,</em> she persuades the Parliament that she has the freedom to choose what to do with her life. By reading the response, we can see that she chosed very carefully every word, this to keep people calm about her situation. She states that she is not in denial towards marriage but that things can't be rushed. In this way she calmed down the Parliament.
