Read the passage from Animal Farm. Once again it was being put about that all the animals were dying of famine and disease, and

that they were continually fighting among themselves and had resorted to cannibalism and infanticide. Napoleon was well aware of the bad results that might follow if the real facts of the food situation were known, and he decided to make use of Mr. Whymper to spread a contrary impression. Hitherto the animals had had little or no contact with Whymper on his weekly visits: now, however, a few selected animals, mostly sheep, were instructed to remark casually in his hearing that rations had been increased. In addition, Napoleon ordered the almost empty bins in the store-shed to be filled nearly to the brim with sand, which was then covered up with what remained of the grain and meal. On some suitable pretext Whymper was led through the store-shed and allowed to catch a glimpse of the bins. He was deceived, and continued to report to the outside world that there was no food shortage on Animal Farm. What is Orwell's main purpose in this passage

Explanation:

Orwell's main purpose in this passage is to reveal that dictators manipulate others and use deception to further their ambitions.

Despite the famine and the food situation, Napoleon was well aware of the bad results that might follow if the real facts of the food situation were known, and therefore he decided to make use of Mr. Whymper to spread a contrary impression. This showed that he deceived others.

Based on the story of Ursula Le Guin's "The Wife's Story", reread lines 120-131. With a small group, discuss why the wolves kill
miv72 [106K]

In Ursula Le Guin's "The Wife's Story" readers witness how a pack of wolves kill "the human thing".

From the perspective of a mother, one may understand that it was a necessary thing to do rather than the right one. As we can see in the text itself, the "human thing" was behaving in a very aggressive manner, trying to attack and kill his own children with a branch from a tree. Being left with no other choice, wolves, being predators by nature, protected the cubs and killed the attacker thus depriving him of any chances to repeat his violent actions in future.

As humans, we detest murder as a way of punishment or revenge, but in the given story we deal with wolves, and such behaviour is understandable from their perspective, moreover, one can clearly see that this was done only for protection.

How does Edna’s character illustrate the theme that society pressures women to fill specific roles? Use examples and evidence fr
Y_Kistochka [10]
 Edna Pontellier was a controversial character. She upset many nineteenth century expectations for women and their supposed roles. One of her most shocking actions was her denial of her role as a mother and wife. Kate Chopin displays this rejection gradually, but the concept of motherhood is major theme throughout the novel.
Edna is fighting against the societal and natural structures of motherhood that force her to be defined by her title as wife of Leonce Pontellier and mother of Raoul and Etienne Pontellier, instead of being her own, self-defined individual. Through Chopin’s focus on two other female characters, Adele Ratignolle and Mademoiselle Reisz, Edna’s options of life paths are exhibited.
These women are the examples that the men around Edna contrast her with and from whom they obtain their expectations for her. Edna, however, finds both role models lacking and begins to see that the life of freedom and individuality that she wants goes against both society and nature. The inevitability of her fate as a male-defined creature brings her to a state of despair, and she frees herself the only way she can, through suicide.
