Read the excerpt from chapter 2 of Animal Farm.

The pigs now revealed that during the past three months they had taught themselves to read and write from an old spelling book which had belonged to Mr. Jones’s children and which had been thrown on the rubbish heap. Napoleon sent for pots of black and white paint and led the way down to the five-barred gate that gave on to the main road. Then Snowball (for it was Snowball who was best at writing) took a brush between the two knuckles of his trotter, painted out MANOR FARM from the top bar of the gate and in its place painted ANIMAL FARM.

Answer:

The text highlights exciting events to keep the reader’s attention.

The text indicates that the story is moving toward a key event in the text.

Explanation:

"Animal farm" is a fable written by George Orwell that features a time when animals on a farm, feeling overwhelmed by human exploitation, decide to take control of the farm and drive humans out of the farm. This fable was a satire of the Russian revolution and international politics.

The excerpt from "Animal farm" shown in the question above, presents a narration with a very fast pace where it shows the reader something extremely peculiar and exciting, which is the moment when the pigs inform that they learned to read. This catches the reader's attention, as it causes the feeling that something out of the ordinary is happening. This excerpt also presents the movement of the story, as it stimulates the feeling that the text is reaching a key moment in the narrative, which is the perception that, in an attempt to get rid of humans, pigs were increasingly similar to they.

Of disobedient opposition
To you and your behests, and am enjoin'd
By holy Laurence to fall prostrate here,

JULIET: I met the youthful lord at Laurence' cell;
And gave him what becomed love I might,
Not step o'er the bounds of modesty.
