The answer is option 1: <u>Simile</u>.

A simile is a figurative language or a metaphor that uses comparisons to describe an event, someone, a place, etc. It aims to make the writing more colorful and interesting. We can normally identify a simile because it uses "like", "as" and "as in" in the sentence.

In this case, we know for sure that the narrator describes ice skating using a simile since it describes it by comparing it with another action "is like jumping on a moving merry-go-round."

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

A current theme that is portrayed in "Animal Farm" is that physical force without political consciousness means nothing.

George Orwell got the idea for his dystopian fable (Animal Farm) after realizing that humans are capable of taming and commanding animals because they, although stronger, are not aware that they are being dominated, and that a similar relationship was established between bosses and the proletariat.

That is to say, it used the very principle of the fable, the inversion between the human and animal roles, as a parallel to the organization of labor in capitalist society, to demonstrate that the relations of power that would be formed among the proletarians themselves after the revolution could misrepresent the socialist ideal.

How do journeys influence perspective?
Naddik [55]
When you take journeys, especially to other places, your perspective is changed. You see different aspects of the world and notice major differences in other societies and ways of life. Many are confused by these, but some will be able to think deeper into the meanings of these new ways and traditions. You realize the world isn’t exactly what you thought it was.
