Answer:

Learning that Magnus dies is a very important and unique plot device that Riordan uses. The lighthearted style of writing makes the tone feel humorous, but the idea of an agonizing death builds suspense. By learning that he dies, the reader questions how and why Magnus dies. The reader also wonders how he is writing to the reader if he really is dead. Not many writers write from the perspective of a dead character. Since death is the end of life, it is normally the end of a story. No so in "The Sword of Summer." In fact, Magnus' death sets the story up, explaining how he was accepted into Valhalla and so forth.

Use the drop-down menus to answer the questions about plot and characters in Animal Farm.

Cloud [144]

The book Animal farm, an allegorical story about the Russian Revolution (1917) and the Soviet Union, is about a group of farm animals who, dissatisfied with their human farmer, take over the farm. Their goal is that all the animals become equal and happy.

Which two animals often disagree with each other?

Answer: Napoleon and Snowball always disagree with each other.

Explanation:

Napoleon is a pig that becomes a farm leader after the Rebellion. In order to establish authority over other animals, Napoleon uses his nine attack dogs. Snowball, on the other hand, is intelligent and not as harsh as his enemy, Napoleon. Rather than intimidating other animals, Snowball is interested in winning their trust. While Napoleon represents Joseph Stalin, Snowball's character is based on Leon Trotsky.

Which animal does most of the heavy labor?

Answer: Boxer does most of the heavy labor.

Explanation:

Boxer's personal motto is ''I will work harder!" He is certainly hard-working and dedicated, and is convinced that every problem can be solved through hard work. Boxer is portrayed as powerful but naive, and his character is an allegory for Russian working-class that contributed to the establishment of the Soviet Union, but ended up betrayed by Stalin.

What does Snowball try to teach the animals to do?

Answer: Snowball tries to teach the animals how to read and write.

Explanation:

Snowball organizes the animals into Animal Committees that have different goals. There is, for instance, the Clean Tails League, and Re-education Committee. The goal of the latter is to re-educate the rats and rabbits. Snowball does succeed in his plan to teach the animals how to read and write, although other committees generally fail to achieve their goals. The pigs, for example, learn to fluently read and write.

The animals realize that the men came to retake the farm by force.
