Answer:

Severe poverty in Ireland brought about by heavy English taxation

England's refusal to allow Ireland self-government

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift's satirical essay of name "A Modest Proposal" is about the act of selling children as food for rich people as if that was a solution for poverty in Ireland. The satire was motivated by the situation in which the country was back then, of poverty and lack of sovereignty.

A theme that Geoffrey Chaucer develops through these two excerpts is that of treachery, since both King Peter of Spain and King Peter of Cyprus were betrayed and their lives ended tragically. King Peter of Spain was betrayed by a man named Bertrand, who had agreed to protect him in exchange for a great compensation, but who eventually handed him over to his half-brother, Henry, who promised him an even greater reward and who assassinated Peter in his tent in 1369, becoming the new king. This is narrated in the excerpt, where Bertrand is compared not with Oliver of Charlemagne, friend of Charlemagne, but with the knight that betrayed him ("No, Oliver of Charlemagne... such a trap!").

Peter I of Cyprus devoting his short yet intense life to fight Islam, and he led the short yet devastating Alexandrian Crusade, but his life ended abruptly. Betrayed by his wife and by some of his closer knights, he was assassinated in his bed also in 1369. This is also referred in the poem ("That conquered Alexandria... on thy bed!").

To sum up, both excerpts revolve around this theme, which they present very similarly: after emphasizing the deeds of the two historical characters, they finalize by regretting their tragic endings.

exis [7]

Both the authors delve into the theme of Governmental control and the theme of facade of freedom imbibed in Americans.

Explanation:

The first story uses the mechanical absurdity of executive decisions and how they are removed from the experience of the common people. It uses a single narration, almost dried out in its approach to use this and convey the theme.

"Mericans' is more of a story from the perspective of an outsider about the stereotypical America and how their experience is influenced by what they think about the outsiders and are proud about things they have no control over.
