One of the ways the emperor Quianlong responds to king George III's messengers was <em>B. He denies a meeting with the British ambassador</em>.

In the mid-eighteen century, the emperor Quianlong began to face severe pressures from the West to increase foreign trade, however he refused to the proposed cultural exchange between the English empire and his.

Mainly influenced by Heshen, the Chinese Emperor kept the belief that the Qing Empire was the center of the world and didn't need to pay attention to the English empire proposal. So once King George III sent George Macartney ,the British ambassador at the time, Quianlong refused to meet the British ambassador.

And George Macartney was humiliated by the Qing Emperor, when he was apparently granted an audience with him and arrived to the place just to realized that the emperor wasn't there and didn't have intention to show up. Instead the British ambassador found an Imperial Edict placed on the Dragon Throne.

That edict informed him that the Qing Empire had no need for any goods and services the British could provide and that they should recognize the Qing Empire was far greater than the British Empire.

brilliants [131]

In the following excerpt of "Sinners in the hands of an angry God", Edwards extensively compares God's wrath with great Warters:

"The Wrath of God is like great Waters that are dammed for the present; they increase more and more, & rise higher and higher, till an Outlet is given, and the longer the Stream is stop’d, the more rapid and mighty is it’s Course, when once it is let loose. 'Tis true, that Judgment against your evil Works has not been executed hitherto; the Floods of God’s Vengeance have been with-held; but your Guilt in the mean Time is constantly increasing, and you are every Day treasuring up more Wrath; the Waters are continually rising an waxing more and more mighty; and there is nothing but the meer Pleasure of God that holds the Waters back that are unwilling to be stopped, and press hard to go forward; if God should only withdraw his Hand from the Flood-Gate, it would immediately fly open, and the fiery Floods of the Fierceness and Wrath of God would rush forth with inconceivable Fury, and would come upon you with omnipotent Power; and if your Strength were ten thousand Times greater than it is, yea ten thousand Times greater than the Strength of the stoutest, sturdiest, Devil in Hell, it would be nothing to withstand or endure it."

Hemingway conveys double entendre between Krebs's soldier and civilian lives. The excerpt shows the ambiguity or precisely black and white nature of the lives. Krebs cannot do the things in his civil life that he has done in his military life. The author counts the disadvantages of these opportunities of Krebs's civilian life in the given excerpt.

The mystery of where the milk went to was soon cleared up. It was mixed every day into the pigs' mash. The early apples were now

MrMuchimi

The answers are:

-“The animals had assumed as a matter of course that these would be shared out equally.”

-“All the windfalls were to be collected . . . for the use of the pigs.”

-“All the pigs were in full agreement on this point, even Snowball and Napoleon.”

In the first statement, the word “animals” refers to the population, the mass, who naively assumes they shall be treated equally. In the other two statements, the pigs are the animals chosen to represent the leaders who, in turn, are sure to deserve more and better than the rest of the population.

The critique we can take from this work, Animal Farm, is the fact that the real power comes – or should come - from the mass, the population. Leaders are chosen – by the population - not to be treated differently or specially, but to serve the interests of everyone.

In Animal Farm, the society described using animals is a satire of communism in the Soviet Union. Communism claims to work for the people, to guarantee equality, also accusing Capitalism of only promoting inequality. The author, George Orwell, criticizes how communist leaders easily walk away from that ideal when they find themselves superior and more deserving than the rest of the country.
