<em>☆ Explanation</em></h3>
Read the excerpt: “Teenage caffeine consumption, once limited to sodas and hot chocolate, now has nearly become the norm in the Bay Area and nationally. Though no statistics exist to chart teenage coffee drinkers—the National Coffee Association polls only consumers 18 and older—a drive past any coffeehouse near a high school would show that it’s replaced the iconic malt shop of the’ 50s or 7-Eleven of the 70s as a place to socialize.”
What is the central idea of the above excerpt?
Teens no longer hang out at malt shops or 7 Elevens to socialize.
Teens are drinking more caffeine now than during the 50s to the 70s.
Teens don’t realize the amount of hidden caffeine they are consuming.
Teens today are becoming more addicted to coffee both nationally and in the Bay area.
The two lines of text in this excerpt from William Dean Howells's "Editha" that demonstrate the author’s opposition to conventional ideas of patriotism are:
1.) "You just expected him to kill someone else, some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches—conscripts, or whatever they call 'em.
2.) "I thank my God he didn't live to do it! I thank my God they killed him first, and that he ain't livin' with their blood on his hands!"
<h3 /><h3>What is Patriotism?</h3>
Patriotism simply means allegiance to one's nation. A patriotic person can go as far as dying for his nation. In the text above, we can see that the author does not share the commonly accepted ideas about patriotism.
The author did not think that it was right to kill the opponents from a warring side who knew little or nothing about the cause of the war. He even preferred that the soldier on his side dies than staining his hands with innocent blood. This is absurd because it is not the commonly accepted norm.

Answer and Explanation:
In the allegorical novella "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, the animals represent the masses, the proletariat, the working class in Russia. They are abused, neglected, taken for granted. Just like the working classes, their work is not meant to make their own lives better, but to improve the lives and fill the pockets of those above them in the social hierarchy.
We should, however, talk about the pigs separately, since they represent something else after the revolution. When the animals finally gather the courage to kick out their human owner, the pigs are the ones who take over the management of the farm because they are the most intelligent among the animals. However, just like soviet leaders, they contradict themselves, demanding something from the people that they (the leaders) are not willing to do. While the other animals sacrifice themselves for the good of the community, the pigs begin to behave more and more like humans.
In the novella, "man" represents the old established authority of the Czar in Russia. Mr. Jones is an alcoholic who does not show any concern or empathy for the very animals that provide him with food and a living. Just like authorities that receive power without having to work for it, "man" in the story is self-centered, concerned only with his own well-being.
