The term Orwellian refers to concepts or phrases from Orwell's writing that have entered our language. " All Animals Are Equal B
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer and Explanation:

The quote "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" was taken from Orwell's novella "Animal Farm". Even though "Animal Farm" criticizes Stalinist Russia, many of the flaws it points out can be noticed everywhere. We are constantly told we are all equal, that all human beings deserve to be treated with fairness in an unprejudiced manner. But, let's face it, some are "more equal than others".

As a woman, I've been through several moments when sexism was used to diminish me. I've been told plenty of times that I wouldn't understand something related to cars or to measuring houses simply because I was not a man. Still, I am more equal than a friend of mine, who is not only a woman, but a black woman. She was telling me the other day of the times she was followed around in department stores. Someone from the staff would watch her every move, afraid she would steal something. As I am white, that has never happened to me. It brought me to the sad realization that equality is still a utopia.

Note: I wrote an answer based on my real-life experiences. Feel free to adapt it to your own reality.

How does the author’s discussion of pow wows at the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation contribute to the text
zubka84 [21]

The author's discussion of the Pow wows shows how the indigenous culture is rich and must be preserved, even if it follows the evolution of society.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The author shows how the Pow wows are very beneficial gatherings for the native tribes.
  • He reveals that these meetings are moments of celebration, where the native culture is presented, respected, and admired.
  • He also claims that the Pow wows have changed over time, following social evolution, but that they maintain traditions efficiently so that the culture is not lost.

This shows the reader how indigenous traditions are rich and can be very useful, fun, and important not only for the natives, but also for other citizens who recognize the importance of the tradition.
