Read this excerpt from "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift: Infant's flesh will be in season throughout the year, but more ple

ntiful in March, and a little before and after; for we are told by a grave author, an eminent French physician, that fish being a prolifick dyet, there are more children born in Roman Catholick countries about nine months after Lent, the markets will be more glutted than usual, because the number of Popish infants, is at least three to one in this kingdom, and therefore it will have one other collateral advantage, by lessening the number of Papists among us. I have already computed the charge of nursing a beggar's child (in which list I reckon all cottagers, labourers, and four-fifths of the farmers) to be about two shillings per annum, rags included; and I believe no gentleman would repine to give ten shillings for the carcass of a good fat child, which, as I have said, will make four dishes of excellent nutritive meat, when he hath only some particular friend, or his own family to dine with him. 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. Those who are more thrifty (as I must confess the times require) may flea the carcass; the skin of which, artificially dressed, will make admirable gloves for ladies, and summer boots for fine gentlemen. In which point of view is this excerpt written?

In this case it would be 3rd person because the writer is saying his, him, her. Hope this helps:)

What is the effect of the exposition on the story? It provides background about Jerome’s love of sports, which becomes meaningfu
Juliette [100K]

This story is about Jerome and Bix, they are two students, the first one is an Afro- American and the second  one is a white boy. ¨The Moves Make The Man¨¨ is a sports novel, written by Bruce Brooks. This story deals with many topics such as racism, cruelty, violence, poverty, mental problems, motivation, the deception and truth, its consequences, the psychology of adolescents, society and, in part, religion. The exposition is a part of the story, which precedes the beginning of the plot, gives background information and sometimes prior events. The right answer is B), because Jerome wants to write a book about his disappeared friend Bix. He emphasizes, that he is the only one who can write this story and it`s going to be truthful. Jerome also states, that he doesn`t understand everything, but the whole summary is in his head. He also mentions his point of view on the society and moral values of ¨white churches¨, that he believes are not so good as his, he belongs to. Jerome tells us how he took Bix`s notebook, because his friend let him do it. From one side it was a theft, but Jerome denied that. Bix wanted him to take it and didn`t want his step-father had it. Jerome thought that his step-father would have burnt it and Jerome didn`t think that he had been a thief. The text is full of sorrow and it shows that Jerome loved his friend, he missed him and he wanted to show everyone that Bix wasn`t as bad as society thought. He had disappeared, but Jerome wanted to tell the whole truth of his life in order to show why he did it. There is some information about sports, the source of this information hides in Bix`s notebook, but the answer A) doesn`t fit, and answer C) neither, because Jerome doesn`t mention any social media, which could have caused a problem. Jerome is writing a book, but we don`t know how he is going to use this information. He is seeking the truth and perhaps he is going to publish it, but this question is left unanswered for the readers.

cricket20 [7]
The correct answer might be C because the Africans aren't treated as citizens of America, nor a community. A line in this extract states that: "....treat them as persons whom it was normally lawful to deal in as articles of property and to hold as SLAVES."
