Question

The poet could have included a burglar or an intruder in the poem, but chose to include a pirate. Explain this choice..​

Answer 1

Answer:

A pirate will have a more terrifying and frightening appearance than a burglar or an intruder. Here in the poem, the pirate is described as a person with pistols, cutlass, and a leg made of wood, showing that he had lost one of his legs in a war. His beard was black and terrifying.
