In three to five sentences, identify and explain the effect of the point of view in this passage.

Answer:

The passage uses a second-person point of view by addressing the reader as “you.” This makes the legal consequences feel immediate and personal, as if the reader were living in Elizabethan England and facing these punishments. It also emphasizes how strict and intimidating the laws were, especially for ordinary people who took animals or defended themselves against gamekeepers.
