Sir Walter Raleigh.

Explanation:

Sir Walter Raleigh, the popular poet, soldier, courtier, politician, spy, as well as discoverer, is widely acknowledged for his exploration of the first English settlement present in North America. After several attempts, he finally selected Roanoke as the possible first-ever English settlement present in North America due to the reason that the relative distance of Roanoke which was established by Ralph Lane from the territories set up by Spanish promoted safe and secure travel surroundings for the privateers. Therefore, 'Sir Walter Raleigh' is the answer.

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

the central idea is basically saying that juveniles that have committed a crime will not have the same consequences as the   adults that have. they will have a softer punishment than what the adults have that is harsh in some ways.
