And the Rat of the Moon stopped biting the line; and the Fisherman let his line down till it touched the Sea, and he pulled the whole deep Sea along, past the Island of Bintang, past Singapore, past Malacca, past Selangor, till the canoe whirled into the mouth of the Perak River again. ‘Kun?’ said the Fisherman of the Moon.‘Payah kun’ said the Eldest Magician. ‘See now that you pull the Sea twice a day and twice a night forever, so that the Malazy fishermen may be saved paddling. But be careful not to do it too hard, or I shall make a magic on you as I did to Pau Amma.’Then they all went up the Perak River and went to bed, Best Beloved.

Read the excerpt from chapter 10 of Animal Farm.
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The text shows that the animals expected a different outcome than the reality they are facing.

Explanation:

Orwell uses irony in this excerpt by showing how the animals goal at the beginning was to drive Mr. Jones away from the farm and establish there own society, Animalism, but ended in chapter 10 with their original commandments changed to one statement: “ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS. (Four legs good, two legs better.),there is no longer Equality between animals and they are all ruled by their dictator- leader, Napoleon, who (as well as the pigs), begin to act like humans. Here Orwell implies that there is no real difference between the two, which is how he uses irony in this excerpt.

What is the importance of the patterns of written works towards well written paragraphs​
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Very important. Each paragraph should begin with a topic sentence setting out what will be discussed. The body should contain properly structured sentences (no fragments or runons) containing supporting details—examples, explanations, or events. The concluding sentence should indicate in some way that the topic is completed or hint at the topic of the following paragraph. The writing should be concise but meaningful using well chosen words and avoiding repetition (except for rhetorical effect). Avoid bland words and cliches, and look for verbs that convey two ideas (such as paced for walked nervously) and replace it and they with the names of things.

DIA [1.3K]

The story focuses on Patol Babu, who is intercepted by his neighbor Nishikanto Ghosh to tell him that his brother-in-law, Naresh Dutt, producer of a film company, was looking for a man with particular characteristics. This person had to be around fifty and had to be short and bald. Patol Babu could not believe it, he never thought that something like this could happen to him at his age. Before his knowledge in the performance and wanting to know more details of his participation, Patol Babu was going to contact Naresh Dutt.

After the offering of the role Patol Babu began to remember his past as an actor when he played in theaters as the main actor. Before he used to live in Kanchrapara and  worked in a railway factory. After mute to Calcutta since he had been offered a better position, in which he remained for nine years. During that time he wanted to start again with the performance but it was impossible, the company in which he worked reduced his staff to reduce expenses and Patol Babu was one of them. After that I fight to make a living: from opening a store and working as an insurance salesman.

Finally, Naresh Dutt arrives at Patol's house claiming that Patol was the person who was looking for the role and that he had to go to the Faraday house to start filming at the next day. After Naresh left, Patol told his wife what he had achieved. For his performance he was paid but his passion for the performance was stronger but his wife told him to get scared because we still had nothing materialized.

The next day arriving at the place there were a hundred people and a large production that were already beginning to film. Patol asked Dutt what his dialogue was because he wanted to start practicing and acting as best as possible, so Dutt gives him a sheet that said the word 'oh'. Surprised Patol could not believe what he was seeing, he thought he was being teased. Then he walked away sad from the place. Sitting and thoughtful, he began to remember what his mentor Gogon Pakrashi had said to him at the time: No paper is small and you should be grateful for the opportunity you are given. After that he reconsidered his role and dialogue and started practicing the different ways of saying 'oh'. After practicing he went to the set to know when it was his turn to act. Patol waited and at the time of recording he played his role correctly. He felt that his mentor was proud of him and his performance made him feel so good that he did not need the money in comparison to his satisfaction for acting, so he left the place without the money.
