Answer:

State of being forgotten.

Explanation:

The given passage is from "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African" by Olaudah Equiano. In this memoir, he narrates his life during slavery and the racism he experienced.

The word "Oblivion" means the state of being forgotten or left unknown completely, without any trace of it being thought about. So, when Equiano wrote the given passage, he implied that writing or reading of memoirs is a hard task, especially for a person who is colored. And even though he may be black, his life is "<em>a particular favorite of Heaven</em>" for his sufferings were less compared to that of his fellow people. Also, the condition of the salves in America and that of the African nations where they are treated better than the slaves were treated in America. So, in writing his memoir, even though it won't contain any <em>"striking events"</em>, he believes that people will read what they find exciting and then ignore others to the level of "<em>contempt and oblivion</em>".

Orwell’s use of an allegory to portray communism in Soviet Russia allows the reader to comprehend what happened in a simple way. It develops the themes power, deceit, dreams, foolishness, violence, and blind following by using animals in place of people. The pigs represent the leaders and the other farm animals represent the citizens of Russia at the time and how they dealt with the corrupt communist nation.

The theme of corruption is still relevant today because there is still corrupt governments around the world, for example, the North Korean dictatorship and communist China. The pigs began as equals who represented the people, and turned into cruel leaders and authority with no limit. Even in local governments, school systems, and work places it is necessary to spot corruption and unfairness. The theme of violence is relevant today in light of police brutality. Just like Boxer was set to be killed instead of retired, people today are murdered unfairly.
