How do I get better at English, Its almost like I cant learn.
irina1246 [14]

I didn't learn by reading and writing, but by doing hands-on activities, games, writing songs, etc. Here is a snapshot explaining the types of learning styles. I hope this helps!

I’m at least 150 words, explain Orwell’s use of figurative and connotative language and the ways in which his language affects t
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Orwell makes extensive use of animal sounds and movements to describe action; his figurative usage turns ordinary description into onomatopoeia. Animal characters are "stirring" and "fluttering" in movement while "cheeping feebly" and "grunting" communications. Old Major, the father figure of the animal's revolution, sings the rallying song "Beasts of England." Orwell describes the answering chorus in a frenzy of onomatopoeic imagery: "the cows lowed it, the dogs whined it, the sheep bleated it, the ducks quacked it." As the ruling class of pigs becomes more human, Orwell subtly drops barnyard verbiage and instead uses "said" for dialogue attributions.
