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.

How does the passage influence the reader’s interpretation of the text? Select two options.

The text contributes to a feeling of suspense.
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.
The text furthers the plot by explaining how the pigs can read and write.
The text furthers the plot by giving details about Snowball.

Answers

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.

If a friend asked you to put off starting college at a good university to
help him launch a new Internet business, would you do it? What would
you do if there were a stranger loudly singing "Happy Birthday"
outside your window late at night? Write a paragraph-length response
to each of these story prompts.

Answers

Answer:

First Prompt: That would be a potentially risky desicion that could possibly affect my future in college. Some people in the world would die to go to college, so it would also be incredibly selfish to waste it away when I have that privledge and so many people do not. I wouldn't risk my opportunity to go to college just so I can be my friend's obsequious little helper in a buisness that most likely won't take off. And, depending on how successful it becomes, it might not make as much money as becoming a doctor, for example. I would decline my friend's offer in a heartbeat if it would interfere with my future.

Second Prompt: Well, I'd be utterly confused at first, but, if the person seemed benevolent, I'd most likely join in. After the song was over, I might yell down to them and reccomend another song that we could sing. Possibly a rendition of "Stand by Me", or "Bohemian Rhapsody". I assure you, it would be a thrilling experience, especially late at night. I might meet with the stranger in the morning if they were still located at the same spot, and we'd perambulate around the city and discuss our favorite songs. Now, approaching this from a logical perspective, they could have mental issues and you might want to have your best interest in mind before randomly announcing your presance to a stranger by singing "Happy Birthday".

c. The mist rolled over the trees in the mountains
d. You're a modern day Romeo

Answers

Answer:

c. The mist rolled over the trees in the mountains.

Explanation:

A figures of speech is also referred to as figurative language and it can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by writers, authors or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or literary work (write-ups).

In English literature, the main purpose of the figures of speech (figurative language) is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of a literary work. Some examples of the figures of speech (figurative language) used in literature are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, etc.

Personification involves intentionally attributing life, human characteristics (qualities) or feelings and emotions to inanimate objects i.e non-living things.

An example of personification is saying, the mist rolled over the trees in the mountains. Thus, the object or thing which was personified is "mist" because it is an inanimate object (a non-living thing) but was being described as rolling over the trees.

In reality, inanimate objects (non-living things) such as mist, balloons, tables, pencils, chair, wrist-watch, etc., do not possess the ability to roll.

This dream again, of a clock. The clock keeps falling but it never reaches the ground or it will break.

I am the clock, and I can’t break.

My life has always been controlled by time. Time. It's such a vicious circle. Torturing you until you break. But you can't break, and shouldn't break if you are a vampire.

Tick-Tock Tick-Tock.

But I feel like I'm breaking.

“What time is it?”

Headaches, restless sleep, and memories.

Sometimes it is almost not there, while at other times that is all there is, and the pain always coincides with memories. It is less a headache and more a memory ache. A life ache.

No matter what I do, it never goes completely. I have tried everything. I’ve drunk liters of water, had lavender-scented baths, listened to lute music and the sound of waves on a beach, lain in the dark, slow-breathed, meditated, did a yoga course, stopped drinking caffeine, turned the brightness down, but still the headaches stays, as stubborn as a shadows, not leaving my head.

For now bullet Journaling is all that helps.

I got up, back in my grand room.

It has too many memories. Too many ghosts. I suppose the way I understand my life is as a kind of Russian doll, with different versions inside other versions, each one enclosing the other, whereby the life before isn’t seen from the outside but is still there.

For years, I thought the key was to keep building new shells on top of the old ones. To keep moving into something else in the eyes of society. But sometimes it turns hard. You lose the strength to keep building new shells. You get tired.

My mom always said to never give up hope. But you lose hope as time passes by. Now I have a different life, a different family.

In this life. I am a queen.

I smile, I love this town, but even though my face is happy my eyes tell a different story as people say, my eyes show pain and grief.

I’ve lived through a lot, but you can find the best in everything. I now have six sisters and am a princess, the dream of any little girl.

But the pain doesn't fade.

A servant from the palace runs up to me. He is wearing the palace uniform which is all blue and has gold stripes. The queen assigned it recently after the war started.

The war with Dragon shifters, repulsive and manipulative creatures who only want power. Now they want all the land, but did they really think vampires would go down without a fight.  The servant that is in front of me is out of breath, his voice is ragged as if he ran for a long time, from the corner of my eye I see sweat coming down his forehead.

“YOUR MAJESTY, THE QUEEN...SHE.. SHE IS DEAD, MURDERED THROUGH THE HANDS OF A DRAGON!”

The crowd around me stops, people gasp. I just stare, I don't know how to react, I’ve learned to adapt to certain problems but this... People start whispering and a man comes up and says.

“LIES! YOU TELL LIES!” He was holding a lute.

My mother used to sit beside my bed, singing in French and playing her cherrywood lute, her fingers running fast across the strings as if escaping something, now I know what it was.

“He doesn’t tell lies, our servants swear to tell only the truth, if he says the queen is dead..that is the truth,” I say.

The man looks at me bewildered, “Well, who’s going to run the kingdom then, right now during war. It's bad but without a leader it's going to be pure chaos.”

I look at him and at everyone surrounding me and say the words that I now regret.

“I am the new queen.”

Should parents be a child’s disciplinarian, or their best friend?

Answers

Answer:

It depends. In my opinion I would say both, but it matters on what family you are born into. Some parents deserve children, but others shouldn't. Yes, you should discipline a child though only when they did something wrong, that way they learn it as a lesson to not do it again. Though so be their best friend as well, a person to trust and be depended on so your child would come to you if they need something.

Answer:

In most cases, neither. A disciplinarian parent is probably an ineffective parent, because their child is more likely resist either voluntarily or subconsciously to authority that is deemed excessive. A "best friend" parent is likely ineffective because they will altogether lack the authority necessary to properly raise and educate a child. A child needs reasonably strict guidance and restrictions in addition to freedoms and privileges. This will lead to a more balanced upbringing and a more balanced product (child). In short, the best is something between the two.

I tend to lean more towards the former, simply because a parent and a best friend are usually two altogether distinct positions in a child's life. Not always, of course, and it largely depends on the individual relationship. Additionally, that is not to say that parents should not be close to their children (perhaps closer than a best friend, since a parents presumably lives with their child). But their purpose, their role, and their "hierarchical status"/authority is unique to each position.

Explanation:

Just my opinion, but I hope it helps :)
