The desire to gain "invisible strength"
Amy Tan opens the story saying, "I was six when my mother taught me the art of invisible strength. It was a strategy
for winning arguments, respect from others, and eventually, though neither of us knew it
at the time, chess games." She talks about how gaining this "invisible strength" is one of the benefits of her chess playing. This isn't just mentioned in the first paragraph, but is shown again when she says, " I discovered
that for the whole game one must gather invisible strengths and see the endgame before
the game begins." She likes that chess has all these secrets that must never be told, and prides herself on learning these as she continues to get better.
Answer:
permitted - illegal
unharmed - injured
ordinary - beautiful
sullen - cheerful
Explanation:
Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings, e.g. <em>good</em> and <em>bad</em>.
If something is permitted, you are officially allowed to do it, and if it's illegal, you are not. These two meanings are opposite, and that's why <em>permitted </em>and <em>illegal </em>are antonyms. The rest of the pairs can be formed the same way. You can look up the definitions of words in a dictionary and compare them, or search in a thesaurus - a list of words with their synonyms and antonyms.
Well for control usually you would use aggressive words and you would most likely be yelling these words at someone to get them to do what you want. oh and this might anger the reader to want to throw the book or get an angered emotion if the reader understands what is happening
Answer:
The slow pace establishes Snowball's intelligence by showing his work process.
Explanation:
George Orwell's <em>Animal Farm</em> is an allegorical novel about the critique of communism especially that of the Soviet Union. This novel uses animals as characters to show how the fight for power leads to a much greater loss for the whole community.
The given excerpt from Chapter 5 of the book shows Snowball working on his plans for the windmill. His opponent Napoleon had not thought of such a plan, but still manages to influence others to take his side. The pattern of pacing in the given passage is slow, with the narrator/ writer revealing how Snowball works. Describing the room where Snowball worked on his plan, the writer also reveals that <em>"he was closeted there for hours at a time"</em>. Moreover, <em>"With his books held open by a stone, and with a piece of chalk gripped between the knuckles of his trotter, he would move rapidly to and fro, drawing in line after line and uttering little whimpers of excitement" </em>which clearly shows his concentration and attentiveness to the work he's doing.
Thus, the correct answer is the last option.
