Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of The Travels of Marco Polo. This, then, I would have you know, is how they are made. They are

built of the wood called spruce and of fir. They have one deck; and above this deck, in most ships, are at least sixty cabins, each of which can comfortably accommodate one merchant. They have one steering-oar and four masts. Often they add another two masts, which are hoisted and lowered at pleasure. The entire hull is of double thickness: that is to say, one plank is fastened over the top of another, and this double planking extends all the way round. It is caulked outside and in, and the fastening is done with iron nails. What is the author's purpose for writing this text? to entertain readers by describing travels on a ship to inform readers about how ships are built to persuade readers that they should build ships to educate readers about how they can build their own ships

In his poem "Easter, 1916," does Yeats favor either side in the conflict? If so, which side does he favor? If not, how does he a
Dominik [7]
Yeats states that he was not closely acquainted with the people in the Easter Rising. He acknowledges that he only exchanged pleasantries with them before the uprising. He also indicates that he has personal reasons for disliking one person. So he is writing about the cause for which they stood, which, by inference, is important.

The comparison of the rebels to "stone" suggests that Yeats may have viewed the rebels' attitude as inflexible or not adapted to the changing times. Yeats also acknowledges the possibility that their deaths may have been "needless" because the British might keep their promises.

However, his reference to the "sacrifice" (of all who had supported Irish independence) and the rebels' "excess of love" suggest that he views their cause in a positive light. Moreover, Yeats's repeated description of the kind of change that the uprising has brought about as "a terrible beauty" suggests that his sympathies lie with the rebels.

To summarize, Yeats places a certain distance between the rebels and himself, but he supports the rebels' cause.
