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?

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.

The "Four Freedoms" Speech: Rhetorical Analysis Directions: Fill out the chart below. You will be looking for examples of Ethos,
MrRissso [65]

Answer and Explanation:

Quote: "The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world. "

Explanation: The above quote can use two rhetorical appeals, the first is pathos, which refers to emotional appeal. This appeal can be seen when Roosevelt says that the fourth freedom is freedom from fear. This evokes a feeling of aversion to fear, causing society to see it as something negative and to have emotions contrary to it, stimulating the hope that it will be exterminated. The quate also uses the rhetorical appeal called logos (which evokes logic) because it shows that fear is created by the possibility of violence and that violence is often stimulated by the amount of weapons in a society. Therefore, it is logical to say that by decreasing the amount of armaments, violence is reduced and fear is reduced.
