History

ExtremeBDS [4]3 years ago

Before the 1800s, builders used cast iron. But they found that structural steel beams set in concrete allowed them to frame tall buildings that were more fire resistant and more structurally sound than cast iron. Since that time, steel has not only become the best building material for commercial construction but closely tied to economic health.

Read the excerpt from chapter 10 of Animal Farm.
Dmitrij [34]

Naïve citizens allow corrupt governments.

In literature, <u>situational irony</u> creates a contrast between what the readers might expect and what actually happens in the text. The goal is to shed light on the difference between appearances and the reality, with regard to a particular theme.

Here, the irony is that even though the farm produces more and gains more money, the animals who worked for this progress to happen are not getting the profits of this improvement. All the money goes to the hands of the ruling class (the pigs and the dogs), because the other animals are naïve enough to believe that the rulers' "supervision and organisation" work is enough to justify this unfair wealth distribution.
