This question is missing the options. I have found them online. They are the following:
In this excerpt, the prince is an antagonist because he:
a. rules Verona
b. befriends Tybalt
c. ignores lawbreakers
d. banishes Romeo
Answer:
The prince is an antagonist because he:
d. banishes Romeo.
Explanation:
An antagonist in a story is usually a character that opposes the main character (the protagonist). An antagonist is not necessarily evil. It is simply an opposing force that tries to keep the protagonist from achieving his goals.
<u>In Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," we can say there are several antagonists. Anyone who does something to keep Romeo and Juliet apart can be regarded as an antagonist, which is also true for the prince. As we can see in the excerpt we are analyzing here, the prince banishes Romeo after he killed Tybalt. This means Romeo will no longer see Juliet, whom he married in secret. Thus, the prince is functioning as an antagonist.</u>
B. Don’t assume your readers know anything at all about your topic
Answer: <em>Here, the tone of the story shifts to one of acceptance and awe</em>
Excerpt: Napoleon, with the dogs following him, now mounted on to the raised portion of the floor where Major had previously stood to deliver his speech. He announced that from now on the Sunday-morning Meetings would come to an end. They were unnecessary, he said, and wasted time. In future all questions relating to the working of the farm would be settled by a special committee of pigs, presided over by himself. These would meet in private and afterwards communicate their decisions to the others. The animals would still assemble on Sunday mornings to salute the flag, sing "Beasts of England,” and receive their orders for the week; but there would be no more debates.
In spite of the shock that Snowball's expulsion had given them, the animals were dismayed by this announcement. Several of them would have protested if they could have found the right arguments. Even Boxer was vaguely troubled. He set his ears back, shook his forelock several times, and tried hard to marshal his thoughts; but in the end he could not think of anything to say. Some of the pigs themselves, however, were more articulate. Four young porkers in the front row uttered shrill squeals of disapproval, and all four of them sprang to their feet and began speaking at once. But suddenly the dogs sitting round Napoleon let out deep, menacing growls, and the pigs fell silent and sat down again. Then the sheep broke out into a tremendous bleating of "Four legs good, two legs bad!" which went on for nearly a quarter of an hour and put an end to any chance of discussion.
Afterwards Squealer was sent round the farm to explain the new arrangement to the others.
Answer: Napoleon
Explanation:
- This is an excerpt from ''Animal Farm'' by George Orwell in which we can see example of a conflict between disapproving pigs and Napoleon because the pigs were disapproved with Napoleon. In this excerpt we can see the situation when Napoleon made an unfair decision toward animals.
The animals were not feeling respected because their opinions and ideas weren't heard. Those animals are not considered as intelligent as the pigs and they were incapable for fighting and arguing with others so the four pigs were talking about their ideas and worries.
