“robin hood and the scotchman”

now bold robin hood to the north would go,
with valour and mickle might;
with sword by his side, which oft had been try’d,
to fight and recover his right.

the first that he met was a jolly stout scot,
his servant he said he would be;
no quoth robin hood, it cannot be good.
for thou wilt prove false unto me.

thou hast not been true to sire or cuz:
nay marry, the scot he said;
as true as your heart, i never will part,
good master be not afraid.

but e’er i employ you, said bold robin hood,
with you i must have a bout;
the scotchman reply’d, let the battle be try’d,
for i know i will beat you out.

thus saying, the contest did quickly begin,
which lasted two hours and more;
the blows sawney gave bold robin so brave,
the battle soon made him give o’er.

have mercy, thou scotchman, bold robin hood cry’d,
full dearly this boon have i bought;
we will both agree, and my man you shall be,
for a stouter i never have fought.

then sawney consented with robin to go,
to be of his bowmen so gay;
thus ended the fight, and with mickle delight
to sherwood they hasted away.

Which statement best describes the use of satire in this passage? read the passage from chapter 7 of animal farm as clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. if she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. these scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old major first stirred them to rebellion. if she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of major's speech. instead-she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. there was no thought of rebellion or parody is used to illustrate the impact of stalin's purge. ridicule is used to show the gullibility of the russian citizens. reversal is used to show how clover, representing the people, has changed ideals. personification is used to show the reader stalin's thoughts and feelings
