The imagery of servitude and sacrifice reinforces the theme that the moral purpose of a person’s life is to
A.seek his or her own happiness.
B.serve a higher power.
C.fight against oppression for all mankind.
D.reject selfish desires.

A.seek his or her own happiness.


In the excerpt the speaker is talking about how she is not a servant, tool, bandage or sacrifice for anyone else. She is not the one to provide anyone happiness especially at the cost of her own. We see this focus on the speaker's happiness in the last line of the excerpt when it says "This miracle of me is mine to own an keep" In this line the speaker takes responsibility for her own happiness, and in turn shows that happiness is the responsibility of each individual.

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.
