What they want you to do is to select one of the given prompts that they have written out for you. Either Prompt One or Prompt Two. 

If I were to choose Prompt One, I would follow the instruction as given. I would Google or otherwise find and read an American short story and also a  historical document as they have told me to. Once I read them both, I would proceed to follow the instruction and compare and contrast both pieces of writing with a paragraph or two as they have told me to do at the beginning. 

Basically, they want you to read and write a compare and contrast little bit.

One of the most prominent features of Animal Farm is the role of various animals as victim. Do you think they were willing victi
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

Animal Farm begins with the portrayal of the the animals as victims of neglect, abandoned in poor conditions by Mr. Jones. This led to the revolution and take over of the farm by the animals who finally attained freedom. These animals were unwilling victims at this time.

With the events unfolding after the takeover of the farm, various animals became unwilling victims to Napoleon and the other pigs. The hens who were promised their chicks, had their eggs taken away from them by the pigs. The cows had their milk stolen by the pigs. The young pigs were victimised and executed for protesting.

On the other hand, other animals like Boxer the horse, as well as the gullible sheep, could be said to be willing victims, loyal to the cause. Boxer slaved for the animal kingdom and never complained. He was sold out to the knackers. The sheep consistently sang about the good of the four legged animals even though they were being taken advantage of, by the pigs.
