Excerpt: Napoleon, with the dogs following him, now mounted on to the raised portion of the floor where Major had previously stood to deliver his speech. He announced that from now on the Sunday-morning Meetings would come to an end. They were unnecessary, he said, and wasted time. In future all questions relating to the working of the farm would be settled by a special committee of pigs, presided over by himself. These would meet in private and afterwards communicate their decisions to the others. The animals would still assemble on Sunday mornings to salute the flag, sing "Beasts of England,” and receive their orders for the week; but there would be no more debates.
In spite of the shock that Snowball's expulsion had given them, the animals were dismayed by this announcement. Several of them would have protested if they could have found the right arguments. Even Boxer was vaguely troubled. He set his ears back, shook his forelock several times, and tried hard to marshal his thoughts; but in the end he could not think of anything to say. Some of the pigs themselves, however, were more articulate. Four young porkers in the front row uttered shrill squeals of disapproval, and all four of them sprang to their feet and began speaking at once. But suddenly the dogs sitting round Napoleon let out deep, menacing growls, and the pigs fell silent and sat down again. Then the sheep broke out into a tremendous bleating of "Four legs good, two legs bad!" which went on for nearly a quarter of an hour and put an end to any chance of discussion.
Afterwards Squealer was sent round the farm to explain the new arrangement to the others.
Answer: Napoleon
Explanation:
- This is an excerpt from ''Animal Farm'' by George Orwell in which we can see example of a conflict between disapproving pigs and Napoleon because the pigs were disapproved with Napoleon. In this excerpt we can see the situation when Napoleon made an unfair decision toward animals.
The animals were not feeling respected because their opinions and ideas weren't heard. Those animals are not considered as intelligent as the pigs and they were incapable for fighting and arguing with others so the four pigs were talking about their ideas and worries.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Luke was as quiet as a mouse. That's a comparison using the word 'as'
"The Bundle of Sticks," and "Hofus the Stonecutter" are two stories that show men who are dissatisfied with what is happening in their environment and decide to improve them.
The father in "The Bundle of Sticks," is totally dissatisfied with his kids fighting all the time. So he decides to show them why they should stick together and not fight anymore. This father doesn't want riches, or to change his life completely, he just wants peace to reign in his home and unity prevail among his children, because that will do them good.
In contrast, Hofus in "Hofus the Stonecutter" is so dissatisfied with his life that he wants to completely change who he is, which he does several times, but never gets satisfaction. Hofus always thinks that the life of another being is better than his, but after becoming several different beings he realizes that there is nothing better than being himself.
We can see that the main difference between these two men is how they brought about changes in their lives. The father in "The Bundle of Sticks," brought about a change in the world around him, but remained true to what he believes in, reaching satisfaction. Hofus in "Hofus the Stonecutter" was totally unfaithful to himself and although he had every wish fulfilled, he was unable to satisfy himself.
Answer:
Success can be measure in terms of wealth and power only to a partial degree. In other words, wealth and power are a partial measure of success.
Explanation:
This is because it would be unwise to deny that a wealthy and powerful person is likely to be successful, but this does not mean that said person is successful in every single aspect of their lives.
Their personal lives may be a wreck, they may not be healthy, they may even be in jail (and still be powerful and wealthy), so in order to measure success in a more holistically way, more factors other than power and wealthy should be taken into account.
