Which detail does Orwell include to support the theme that a lack of education can make a person easier to oppress? “The pigs ha

The answer is D: "He intended, he said, to devote the rest of his life to learning the remaining twenty-two letters of the alphabet".

This excerpt has been taken from "Animal Farm", written by George Orwell in 1945. "Animal Farm" tells the story of a group of farm animals which rebel against their farmer and start controlling the farm by themselves. According to many, this novel is an allegory of the Russian Revolution and many of the themes presented here reflect our own society. One of these themes is the lack of education which contributes to the vulnerability and oppression of people. Important figures or politicians take advantage of people's ignorance in order to win popularity and have power. One clear example is Boxer, one of the horses in the farm. Although Boxer is a very loyal comrade, he is not very smart and he has been controlled from the very beginning by the selfish pigs. Boxer can not even get past letter 'D' from the alphabet, so, in order to support this idea of lack of education, Orwell includes this passage where Boxer is determined to learn the rest of the remaining letters of the alphabet to be smarter.

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.

Read the excerpt from Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho, An African. That subject, handled in your striking manner, would ease
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Well known in London social and literary circles during his lifetime, Sancho achieved lasting fame with the posthumous publication of his Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho, an African. The 158 letters collected in this volume cover a wide range of subjects—including literature, politics, and race—and offer Sancho's unique perspective as a former slave and one of the only middle-class Black men living in eighteenth-century London. Sancho's letters also reveal him to be a man of generosity, warmth, and humor who enjoyed the company of friends from many different stations in life. In his own day, Sancho was thought of as “the extraordinary Negro,” and to eighteenth-century British opponents of the slave trade he became a symbol of the humanity of Africans, something that at the time was disputed by many.
