Read the passage from Animal Farm. Mr. Pilkington, of Foxwood, had stood up, his mug in his hand. In a moment, he said, he would

ask the present company to drink a toast. But before doing so, there were a few words that he felt it incumbent upon him to say. It was a source of great satisfaction to him, he said—and, he was sure, to all others present—to feel that a long period of mistrust and misunderstanding had now come to an end. There had been a time—not that he, or any of the present company, had shared such sentiments—but there had been a time when the respected proprietors of Animal Farm had been regarded, he would not say with hostility, but perhaps with a certain measure of misgiving, by their human neighbours. Unfortunate incidents had occurred, mistaken ideas had been current. It had been felt that the existence of a farm owned and operated by pigs was somehow abnormal and was liable to have an unsettling effect in the neighbourhood. Too many farmers had assumed, without due enquiry, that on such a farm a spirit of licence and indiscipline would prevail. They had been nervous about the effects upon their own animals, or even upon their human employees. But all such doubts were now dispelled. Today he and his friends had visited Animal Farm and inspected every inch of it with their own eyes, and what did they find? Not only the most up-to-date methods, but a discipline and an orderliness which should be an example to all farmers everywhere. He believed that he was right in saying that the lower animals on Animal Farm did more work and received less food than any animals in the county. Indeed, he and his fellow-visitors today had observed many features which they intended to introduce on their own farms immediately. How does Orwell's characterization of Mr. Pilkington support his purpose? Orwell draws parallels between Mr. Pilkington and the other farmers in town to show how dictatorial practices can be spread. Orwell uses Mr. Pilkington to represent a new understanding between humans and animals that is beneficial for both. Orwell uses Mr. Pilkington's speech to represent a modern way of farming that includes having farms run by animals. Orwell draws parallels between Mr. Pilkington and leaders of countries who overlooked Stalin's poor treatment of his people.

Why does the poet believe that "Whole libraries that no one/got around to writing" is "More disturbing than book ashes?"
Drupady [299]
In the poem, Burning a Book, by William Stafford, is a poem describing a burning book, and then going to more dept of what it means. In the poem Stafford says, "More disturbing than book ashes are whole libraries that no one got around to writing." The meaning of this is that burning books is not as terrible as not writing them at all. Stafford is trying to say that if you have an idea for a book and you do not write the book, or start it, but never finish, then that is worse then burning a book that's already written. He also says , "If a book isn't written, no one needs to burn it---- ignorance can dance in the absence of fire." This is meaning that if you do not write book then it can not be burned, so instead of fire burning it, the lack of knowledge is burning the unwritten book. Do you agree with Stafford?

what is the primary lesson that wiesel teaches us in night? choose specific characters and scenes which convey this lesson
meriva
Wiesel's primary purpose for teaching Night is to show the horrors of the Holocaust so that the world will never forget and make the same mistake again. In chapter one of the novel, Wiesel repeatedly shows how the citizens of Sighet ignored signs of the Nazi occupation. He explains how they downplayed what was happening to them when they were forced to wear the star and officers were quartered in their homes. He wants the world to remember how easily it is for atrocities to occur when people do nothing. When remembering his first night in camp, Wiesel writes, "Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky...Never shall I forget those things, even were I condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never." The repetition of "Never shall I forget" pleads with the reader to remember as well as emphasizes the horrors. Remember the horrors of the Holocaust and never repeat them.
