Like in the given example, many political figures speak about their own accomplishments while not mentioning the opponent's accomplishments. They do this in order to convince the public that they are the best option, unlike the other side.

One major theme found in George Orwell's Animal Farm is the idea of education. Identify and discuss at least two specific examples from the text that illustrate this theme. Based on your examples, do you think Orwell believes education is important or not? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

For Orwell, education was the main factor in preventing tyrannical and fascist leaders from coming to power. This is because education would give people information and critical thinking. These two factors would prevent the population from being exploited and reduced, as they would perceive facist behaviors and be able to reflect on the negative results that the population would resolve. In this way, the well-educated population would be able to establish factors to overthrow these leaders of power and prevent them from exploiting any individual.

However, we know that the nations most exploited by factional and authoritarian leaders are those that do not provide, or provide poor quality education, leaving the population to the mercy of those who say they are more intelligent and more capable, who are, in their majority, tyrannical.

Two examples of this in "Animal farm" can be seen, when pigs pose themselves as the super animals because of their intelligence, knowledge and quick thinking. While horses, which do not have this development, are exploited, humiliated and devalued by pigs, but believe that as pigs have more knowledge, pigs are correct.

Keet was riding the bus and saw a man wearing a new pair of shoes from his favorite brand. He liked them but thought they'd look better in black. When he got home, he went online and found them in black at an online store, Zaps. They were pretty expensive, so he decided to post a picture of them on his social media account to see what his friends would think. The next day, he started seeing ads for the exact shoes and for the online store he had visited. He saw the ads appear when he typed in a search, when he went to his favorite news site, and when he was scrolling through his social media feed. At first he thought it might've just been a coincidence, but when it kept happening, he started to wonder, why am I seeing this everywhere?

2.If Keet didn't want to be tracked by the advertising company, what could he have done differently?

Answers

Answer:

The advertising knew that he was interest in those shoes Or in that store as he he went online store Zaps, to search those shoes.  If Keet didn't wanted to be tracked by the advertising campany he must have not searched those shoes online nor had posted the pictures of shoes on Social Media.

What two factors distinguish a strong analogy from a weak one?
how many points of comparison there are

how obvious the similarities are
where the analogy appears in an argument
CHOOSE 2

Answers

how many points of comparison there are

where the analogy appears in an argument

How many points of comparison there are and where the analogy appears in an argument are two factors that distinguish a strong analogy from a weak one. Thus, options A and D are correct.

What is an Analogy?

The analogy is a verbal word that describes the cognitive method by which knowledge or value is from that one issue to the next.

An analogy is a comparison used to demonstrate a point or provide an explanation. The implication is that when two or more objects coincide sometimes in ways, we will surely agree in those other ways as well.

There are various factors that can determine in analogy if it is a strong man or a weak one. One of these factors while comparing their main points and finding out the difference.

The second one is if there is an argument and if one analogy wins then it will be a clear indication of a strong one whereas the one who loses will be an indication of weak one. Therefore, option A and D is the correct option.
