Literature can be a very effective form of social commentary. Moreover, it can motivate people to change their social reality through an increase of awareness.

When we read a story that resembles our own reality, we are able to gain some perspective because of the distance that we put between the characters and us. It can also highlight aspects of our social situation that we had not noticed before.

A common example is <em>Uncle Tom's Cabin</em>, a novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe, which greatly contributed to the social condemnation of slavery. Similarly, George Orwell's novels, such as <em>Animal Farm</em> and <em>1984</em>, have been very relevant in helping people realize the dangers of extremism and totalitarianism.

E-mails do not require professionalism; it's acceptable to be informal. true or false
Umnica [9.8K]
It depends. In most cases emails kind of have a professional stigma following them and are sent to ask questions or to gain information or inform the receiver so it’s best presented in a formal way.
In other cases such as a letter to a friend it can be as informal as the writer would like. Overall though I would say False, emails require professionalism.

What is the mood and tone of animal Farm
lawyer [7]

Answer:

The tone of Animal Farm is initially playful and lighthearted, but it becomes bitter as the story unfolds. The story begins with a tone suggesting the reader is embarking on a superficially silly story about ridiculous humans and talking animals
