Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler’s Guide to Elizabethan England. If you are hungry, you might feel inclined to turn to po

aching. 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?

Answer:

The author’s purpose in this excerpt is to explain why poaching was dangerous

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the options to answer it, here are the options:

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

This excerpt shows how poaching is highly punished, some people might commit a crime because of hunger but it does not matter under this conditions since this person will most likely pay for that crime with their life, even the least severe punishment concerning taking an animal from others represents a much bigger loss than gain.

What creates a sense of flow and rhythm in the poem?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The sense of flow comes from her word choice by using a complex chemical break down relating to cleaning, the old fashion style of drying clothes, the house/residency was near or by surrounding fields, this allows me to picture and visualizes how her living is with the pass along and seemingly strong tradition.

I visualize the author is describing her childhood in the location of dutch fields. Watching maybe a parent doing cleaning or up keeping due to the mention of cleaning products and old style of drying clothes possibly from the clothespins. The family passes many traditions down and only does it their way, showing a possibility of a strong family culture or lifestyle with hints of religous manners with the phrase of  "10 verses that I can say myself" connecting it to knowledge of Christianity/Catholicism.

I'm sorry if this isn't the best answer but here's at least a baseline you could go off of. I hope this helps in one way or another!

The reader will feel the tension immeditaely after just starting to read, allowing questions and tension to form so the reader will question about what happens before the action. By the way, in media res is when the author starts the story in the middle instead of the beginning.
