The students at school were cruel but a few days later we had to discuss 1 of our prejudice ideas
Is there anyway to emphasize that question you're asking?
Answer:
- The tools such as bits, reins, halters, knives, and whips symbolize the oppression of the working class under the tsar.
Explanation:
Each one of those devices represent to the vehicle of the dictatorship to have the people under their control. The viciousness, the consistent compromise of their lives. It speaks to the absence of decisions the common laborers had under the tsar' regime.
The question belongs to this passage from chapter 2 of Animal Farm:
<em> The harness-room at the end of the stables was broken open; the bits, the nose-rings, the dog-chains, the cruel knives with which Mr. Jones had been used to castrate the pigs and lambs, were all flung down the well. The reins, the halters, the blinkers, the degrading nosebags, were thrown on to the rubbish fire which was burning in the yard. So were the whips. All the animals capered with joy when they saw the whips going up in flames.</em>
Remember, Johnny came from a terrible household. His parents either beat him, or ignored him. If Johnny became crippled, he wouldn't be able to come and go from that house as he pleased, which means he has to stay in that home where he was hated and unwanted.
Here is the excerpt from the novel:
"Even if Johnny did live he'd
be crippled and never play football or help us out in a rumble again. He'd have to stay in
that house he hated, where he wasn't wanted, and things could never be like they used to
be. I didn't trust myself to speak. If I said one word, the hard knot in my throat would
swell and I'd be crying in spite of myself." (Hinton, 87).
