How does Orwell use irony in this excerpt?

English

BigorU [14]1 year ago

Orwell uses irony in the excerpt in the sense that the text shows that the animals expected a different outcome than the reality they are facing, option C.

<h3>What is irony?</h3>

A simple definition of irony would be a situation in which the result or outcome is not what was initially expected. That is what we have in the excerpt from "Animal Farm," by George Orwell.

The animals expected a good and easy life, just as promised by the pig Snowball. They have worked really hard to build the windmill that would bring changes to the farm, but no reward has been given to them. As a matter of fact, another pig, Napoleon, tells them that they should work even harder.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option C as the correct answer.

The missing excerpt to answer this question is the following:

But the luxuries of which Snowball had once taught the animals to dream, the stalls with electric light and hot and cold water, and the three-day week, were no longer talked about. Napoleon had denounced such ideas as contrary to the spirit of animalism. The truest happiness, he said, lay in working hard and living frugally.

Think about the people in your life and how they've changed over time. Write an essay explaining whether or not people change. P
PSYCHO15rus [73]

People do change.  Life experiences and maturity change people.  If anyone thinks back to what he was like at eighteen and what he is like at thirty, it would be miracle if changes had not been made in his personality and behaviour.  

There are so many events in a person's life that will alter his behaviour and even his/her way of looking at things: marriage, children, jobs, parents' deaths, money problems, divorce, health problems. All of these occurrences will alter the way a person acts and thinks.  

Every stage of a person's life will bring different attitudes and changes in what a person does.  Sometimes, the changes are for the better. There are instances when a person becomes bitter as he ages. As a person ages, his priorities change. Health issues move to the forefront. Health insurance and doctors become a part of life.

The point is that everyone changes as life events occur. No one stays the same.
