The reason why this can happen is because of the transformative journey that Jin Wang is on. At first, Jin Wang is ashamed of being Chinese, and wants to appear as white as possible. Wei-Chen is fully Chinese, and because of this, he is a foil, as he is a character that highlights the characteristics of the protagonist by contrasting them with his own, which are the opposite.

However, as the story progresses, Jin Wang becomes even less similar to Wei-Chen, as he kisses Suzy and as he transforms into Danny. Jin Wang, therefore, not only contrasts with Wei-Chen, but is in open opposition to him. This makes Wei-Chen the antagonist.

What do the tools such as bits, reins, halters, knives, and whips symbolize in the story?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

  • The tools such as bits, reins, halters, knives, and whips symbolize the oppression of the working class under the tsar.

Explanation:

Each one of those devices represent to the vehicle of the dictatorship to have the people under their control. The viciousness, the consistent compromise of their lives. It speaks to the absence of decisions the common laborers had under the tsar' regime.

The question belongs to this passage from chapter 2 of Animal Farm:

<em> The harness-room at the end of the stables was broken open; the bits, the nose-rings, the dog-chains, the cruel knives with which Mr. Jones had been used to castrate the pigs and lambs, were all flung down the well. The reins, the halters, the blinkers, the degrading nosebags, were thrown on to the rubbish fire which was burning in the yard. So were the whips. All the animals capered with joy when they saw the whips going up in flames.</em>

Which is the correct way to rewrite this phrase? my class’s garden my class’ garden my classes’ garden my classes garden
Serggg [28]
class's = owned by one class.
classes's = owned by multiple classes. (usually shortened to classes')


You can't shorter class's so class', however. Here's why:
<em>You can only shorten it when it's a plural noun that ends in an s or when it's a proper noun (names, places) that ends in an s.
</em><em>
</em>So unless there's more than one class, it's class's.<em>
