For instance, he suggests that there are individuals in Ireland that would be properly used for food. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

"The R-pe of the Lock" is an example of a Horatian satire. The purpose of Horatian satires is mostly to entertain and mock in a funny way. It focuses on the peculiarities of human behaviour, particularly when these seem nonsensical. It has not desire to provide social criticism or to motivate social change.

On the other hand, "A Modest Proposal" is an example of Juvenalian satire. This type of writing can also be humorous, however, its main objective is to criticize society. It is mostly led by indignation or outrage at a particular injustice. In the case of Swift, the injustice was the treatment of poor Irish people.

How does Bruno’s behaviour indicate that animals too have emotions, affection, memory and individual traits of character?
Damm [24]

Answer:

This question relates to “The Bond Love”:

Read the rough-draft paragraph.
aivan3 [116]

The statement which best describes the mistake the writer makes in the paragraph is the following one:

The writer loses focus and shifts to another topic.

He starts off by pointing out the overall benefits of exercising, and supports his idea by also giving examples of activities people should engage in. However, focus is lost when the writer begins to address the importance of a balanced diet to the body. That would require a new paragraph.

irga5000 [103]

The author is trying to convey that in recent years, the extinction rate for many animal species has significantly increased. He began his point in the first sentence of the excerpt: “Species are disappearing at an accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but also pollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural environments.” Then, he further emphasizes his point in the sentence: “As the last forests are felled in forest strongholds like the Philippines and Ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more.” Which is immediately followed by another sentence that supports his argument: “In the world as a whole, extinction rates are already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before the coming of man.
