How does Orwell use irony in this excerpt?

English
1 answer:

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.

andre [41]
Huck seems like the type of character, based just from this snippet, to overexaggerate things, even something small. He also seems to be on the glass half empty side of life. Perhaps cocky and a bit overzealous, too, judging by the "I bet I do" phrase. Does that help?

The following short story, "Elsewhere," was written by Stephanie McClure and published in 2015. In this story a little girl, Zit
lina2011 [118]

In this story, we meet Zita, who is a girl with a very vivid imagination. When Zita slips out of her house, we are able to follow the thoughts that go through her head, which enables us to follow her train of thought.

Through these ideas, the author develops the setting of the story as well as Zita's character. We learn that she climbs unto a tree, and that the tree allows her to "jump and weave through the orchard." The use of words like "weave" by McClure creates a sense of vividness and motion. Moreover, Zita is described as jumping unto the roof and then scrambling up to her window. This description continues to develop the setting by explaining where everything is located. It also contributes to the characterization of Zita by describing her courage and agility.
