George Washington was the first President of the United States?
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
The pigs appeared completely at ease in their chairs. The company had been enjoying a game of cards but had broken off for the moment, evidently in order to drink a toast. A large jug was circulating, and the mugs were being refilled with beer. No one noticed the wondering faces of the animals that gazed in at the window.
What is ironic about the pigs' activities in this excerpt? They fail to notice that other animals are watching them. They had previously planted barley in order to make beer. They changed the rules to allow drinking in a limited quantity. They prohibited alcohol when they took control of the farm.
Answer:
They prohibited alcohol when they took control of the farm.
Explanation:
When the pigs took control of the making they stipulated rules, which, according to them, allowed the welfare of the animals. Among these rules was the prohibition of alcoholic beverages by animals, since this type of drink was human behavior and animals repudiated anything that came from human beings. However, even forbidding alcohol, the pigs drank it because they did what they wanted, besides being as tyrannical as humans.
<span>Homework Help </span>> The Gift of the Magi In the last paragraph O.Henry describes the magi, but why do you think he makes the allusion to the Magi in his story of Jim and Della?"The Gift of the Magi" by O.

However, as the reader reflects upon the characters in the story, he/she soon realizes that Jim and Della are wealthier and more knowledgeable in the ways of love than elite priests of profound and extraordinary knowledge. And, with the magic of true love, "two foolish children" realized more than the Magi: Ironically, they realize the most valuable gift is the gift of unselfish love. Such as they are the wisest. Everywhere they are the wisest. They are the Magi.</span></span></span>
Answer:
Lencho was a simple and hardworking farmer who worked like an ox in his fields. When the heavy fall of hailstones destroyed his corn totally, he and his family were rather on the verge of starvation. He was left with one hope, help from God. He believed that God is all-merciful and hears the call of those who are of a clear conscience. He requested Him to send a hundred pesos immediately to help him to sow his fields. He and his family also needed some money to live on until the fresh crop coming.Writing a letter to God and addressing it `To God’ shows the writer’s unshaken faith in God. He was a simple man not distrusting that such a letter could reach God. His innocence and firm belief in God’s mercy even deeply impressed and influenced the postmaster who decided to answer his letter. He didn’t want to shake the writer’s faith in God. He collected and sent 70 pesos as help signing the letter with one word, ‘God’. Lencho had so much faith in God and His mercy that he didn’t show any surprise when he received the money sent to him. He wrote another letter requesting Him to send the rest of the money immediately but not through the postal mail as the post office employees were a ‘bunch of crooks’.
I believe this is an example of a metaphor.
