The author is trying to establish the point that the food provided to the soldiers was of poor quality and in little quantity.

<h3>How can we identify this?</h3>
  • The author shows how the food provided to the soldiers was compared to fodder, that is, food inappropriate for humans.
  • The author shows how this food could be compared with the feeding of pigs, which highlights the poor quality of the food.
  • The author reinforces how inappropriate food was consumed anyway, as it was all the soldiers had.

In the text, the author wants to draw attention to how the soldiers were neglected and fed in a precarious, unhealthy, and insufficient way, not being possible to compare it with food for humans.

This kind of food left the soldiers hungry and weak, preventing them from being able to fulfill their responsibilities as required.

In this case, the author satirizes food, trying to call attention to a change and showing the dissatisfaction of those who need to eat this way.

How did the 3 guys escape from the “Rock” Prison?
Anika [276]

It was the espectacular escape!!!

For months, with spoons as tools, each one drilled its way into the ventilation pipes of the old building, sometimes aided by the vacuum motor turned into a drill.  

They built a raft from the remains of a lifeguard that had to withstand the onslaughts of the sea and the probable tarascades of hungry sharks. For the end they left the elaboration of oars that would help them to reach the other shore, probably near the Golden Gate. The instrument to inflate the boat was missing: an old accordion that we don't know where it came from!!!

Rus_ich [418]
The Cold War began after World War II. It was between the United States and the Soviet Union. It was called the Cold War because both nations were afraid to fight one another directly, so they they did it indirectly. They used words as weapons by denouncing the other and trying to make the other seem foolish.The United States and the Soviet Union were the only two superpowers after the second World War. They both had nuclear weapon capabilities and this made everyone very fearful.<span>Historians disagree as to when the Cold War ended. Some will say that it ended during the 60's and 70's when the US and Soviet Union had better relations. Others will say it ended when the Berlin Wall was torn down (1989) and others say it ended when the Soviet Union collapsed (1991).
