Answer:

The rhetorical device that Mark Twain uses in the excerpt is irony.

Explanation:

Irony is a rhetorical device that uses an event or situation that is deliberately contrary to what one expects. It is used to create emphasis and to stress the intensity and exceptional quality of a given situation or event.  In the case of this excerpt, Mark Twain uses the irony of being in danger while lying in bed. Being in your home and in your bed is generally considered to be a place where you are safe from harm. He seems to suggest in this passage that traveling by train is safer than being at home in bed.

Does this technology seem advanced?
nadya68 [22]

Yes & No...

To some people, mostly younger kids and mid teens, they think maybe it should speed up some.

To older people, such as the elderly, they think it is too fast.

It all depends on the person!                Hope this helps!

How have the pigs completely gone against the ideals they professed to hold at the beginning of the novel?
kozerog [31]
At the beginning of the novel Animal Farm, the animals wanted freedom. They no longer wanted to be slaves to mankind.

By the end of the novel, the animals are no longer slaves to mankind -- now, they are slaves to the pigs. The animals have substituted one master for another and will not get the freedom they once desired.

The pigs went from wanted freedom for all to just wanting freedom for themselves. They are no better than men.

In this way, they have gone against the ideals they professed to hold at the beginning of the novel.
