Mr. Pilkington, of Foxwood, had stood up, his mug in his hand. In a moment, he said, he would ask the present company to drink a

toast. But before doing so, there were a few words that he felt it incumbent upon him to say. It was a source of great satisfaction to him, he said—and, he was sure, to all others present—to feel that a long period of mistrust and misunderstanding had now come to an end. There had been a time—not that he, or any of the present company, had shared such sentiments—but there had been a time when the respected proprietors of Animal Farm had been regarded, he would not say with hostility, but perhaps with a certain measure of misgiving, by their human neighbours. Unfortunate incidents had occurred, mistaken ideas had been current. It had been felt that the existence of a farm owned and operated by pigs was somehow abnormal and was liable to have an unsettling effect in the neighbourhood. Too many farmers had assumed, without due enquiry, that on such a farm a spirit of licence and indiscipline would prevail. They had been nervous about the effects upon their own animals, or even upon their human employees. But all such doubts were now dispelled. Today he and his friends had visited Animal Farm and inspected every inch of it with their own eyes, and what did they find? Not only the most up-to-date methods, but a discipline and an orderliness which should be an example to all farmers everywhere. He believed that he was right in saying that the lower animals on Animal Farm did more work and received less food than any animals in the county. Indeed, he and his fellow-visitors today had observed many features which they intended to introduce on their own farms immediately. How does Orwell's characterization of Mr. Pilkington support his purpose? Orwell draws parallels between Mr. Pilkington and the other farmers in town to show how dictatorial practices can be spread. Orwell uses Mr. Pilkington to represent a new understanding between humans and animals that is beneficial for both. Orwell uses Mr. Pilkington's speech to represent a modern way of farming that includes having farms run by animals. Orwell draws parallels between Mr. Pilkington and leaders of countries who overlooked Stalin's poor treatment of his people.

Orwell's characterization of Mr. Pilkington supports his purpose by drawing parallels between Mr. Pilkington and leaders of countries who overlooked Stalin's poor treatment of his people.

Animal Farm is a story written by Orwell and published in 1945 which speaks about a government thirsty for power, deluding, through false promises, a hopeful society. The author explains that government with bad intentions easily comes to power when a people is not educated, taking Stanli as an example that one of his decisions as a central secretary was to delay industrialization.

<u>The correct answer is:  A)  to reveal the traumatic impact of the Holocaust had on his life  .</u> The author tried to understand why so many deaths in the holocaust, what was the point of that factory of death, how to explain the insane mind that devised this black hole in history called Birkenau and then thought that perhaps there was nothing to understand and that the reason for the holocaust will always be incomprehensible.

Read the subjects and determine whether each is too broad or sufficiently
elixir [45]

Answer and Explanation:

When choosing a subject to research and write about, we must be careful not to come up and stick to a topic that is too broad. If a topic is too broad, it allows for many subtopics to be derived from it, which means the research and the essay/speech will be all over the place. A narrower topic, on the other hand, will speak on a specific subject completely, without jumping from it to another. With that in mind, we can safely classify the following subjects in either "too broad" or "sufficiently narrowed" for a 500 to 800 word essay.

1. The Hawaiian Islands  - Too broad. What about them? Their size? Their culture? Their people? Tourism?

2. The process of voting by caucus in primary elections  - Sufficiently narrowed.

3. Lifestyle of women in rural Greece  - Sufficiently narrowed.

4. Vacations in South America  - Too broad. South America has several countries. Will we speak of each of them? Plus, what about the vacations? Their price? The best time to go? How long one should stay?

5. The health benefits of cottage cheese  - Sufficiently narrowed.

6. Breakfast foods - Too broad. What about them? Which ones are more delicious? Which ones are the healthiest?

What social commentary does Mark Twain make in “The £1,000,000 Bank-Note”? Include examples from the text to support your answer
sertanlavr [38]
In “The £1,000,000 Bank-Note,” Twain uses satire to highlight the power of money and its influence on the behavior of people from all classes of nineteenth-century English society. The earliest examples of satire in the text are when Henry meets the owners of the eating house and the tailor shop. Both owners regard Henry as an upper-class gentleman and allow him to make purchases on credit based on his perceived status. In fact, when Henry warns the proprietor of the tailor shop that he may have to wait an indefinite amount of time for his dues to be paid, the proprietor doesn’t seem concerned at all. He says, “Indefinitely! It’s a weak word, sir, a weak word. Eternally—that’s the word, sir.” The proprietor’s use of the word eternallystresses his willingness to allow Henry to make purchases on credit. Other shop owners also accept that Henry is rich, providing him with both necessities and luxuries on credit alone. If any of the proprietors had known about Henry’s true financial condition, they wouldn’t have allowed him any amount of credit; however, they still gave him whatever he wanted or needed because they believed his million-pound note meant he was someone of class and wealth.
Twain further satirizes the importance the English placed on money in the nineteenth century when he shows how much respect Henry has garnered across London. When Henry hears about his friend Lloyd’s financial troubles, he tells Lloyd to use the reputation of Henry’s name to help sell Lloyd’s mine. Henry says, “I know all about that mine, of course; I know its immense value, and can swear to it if anybody wishes it. You shall sell out inside of the fortnight for three million cash, using my name freely, and we'll divide, share and share alike.” Less than a day later, all of London is talking about the mine that Henry is vouching for. Finally, “when the month was up at last,” the mine was purchased, and Henry and Lloyd had a million dollars each. Because Lloyd had used Henry’s name to sell the mine, no one questioned that the mine was valuable. Henry’s reputation is so secure at this point in the story that he now has the power to actually affect London society. Although he started out poor and hungry, Henry has not only been able to gain the appearance of wealth and status by simply showing his million-pound note, but he’s also been able to achieve some amount of real power. Twain’s satire shows how ridiculous and dangerous it can be to trust someone based solely on money—or, in this case, on the appearance of having money. Instead of judging Henry on real qualities, such as kindness, honesty, or wisdom, London society chooses to judge him based on what they think he has: money and, subsequently, class.
