Answer:

indirect characterization

Explanation:

indirect characterization is when a character is described or characterized indirectly. this means the author describes a character with details; what the character says or does.

it does not simply say "____ is ____ (description like mad, annoying, sad, pretty).

in this example, Gloria "withdraws into a shell where she feels safe and hidden." what is this saying about her? she is shy and insecure. the author does NOT say "Gloria is shy." Or "Gloria is insecure."

What is a potential problem in reducing the Commandments to “Four legs good, two legs bad”?
Ann [662]
Hey there!

I assume we're talking about Animal Farm.

First of all, this statement alludes to the fact that they're trying to say that animals are good, and humans are bad- because that's the main idea in most parts of the book. The animals have risen up and created their own rules for the farm in the wake of the human oppression previously not occurring and brought to life by the speech of Old Major. There are two main problems:

First of all, the whole farm runs on animals - however, pigs remain sovereign. The problem is, although most animals do have four legs, some animals, like swans, birds, and chickens, don't. That means they're left out and perhaps their contribution to the farm can be lost as a result of the fact that their physical anatomy betrays the ideals of the Commandments.

Secondly, we discussed before how this leaves out humans. However, they need humans- especially for the windmill at the beginning. If you remember, Napoleon actually had to make deals with some, and those proved to be very beneficial. This pretty much means that Napoleon is trying to dictate the beliefs of the beings he rules, but breaks and bends his own rules when he wants. After all, he became the leader after a revolution on the farm and uses his attack dogs in place of military force. Sound familiar? Napoleon represents Joseph Stalin, and most other characters represent people from history. One of the main points of this book is looking at it from another perspective. The animals mean something, it's more a book about the actions of people.

Hope this helps!

How does Orwell include social commentary in Animal Farm? Check all that apply
Alla [95]

Answer:

I don't know what you have to pick from but here is this:

Explanation:

Like any good satire or allegory, and almost all of George Orwell's work, Animal Farm is full of social commentary. Though he dismissed the book as a "fairy story," Orwell wanted to show how even those popular movements that started with good intentions could become corrupted once they gained power.
