Explanation:

Esperanza describes how her family came to live at the house on Mango Street. She, her parents, her brothers, Carlos and Kiki, and her sister, Nanny, moved to Mango Street when the pipes broke in their previous apartment and the landlord refused to fix them. Before they moved into the house on Mango Street, the family moved around a lot. The family had dreamed of a white house with lots of space and bathrooms, but the house on Mango Street has only one bedroom and one bathroom. Esperanza notes that this is not the house that she envisioned, and although her parents tell her it's only temporary, she doubts they'll move anytime soon. The house, however, does have some significant advantages over the family's previous apartments. The family owns this house, so they are no longer subject to the whims of landlords, and at the old apartment, a nun made Esperanza feel ashamed about where she lived. The house on Mango Street is an improvement, but it is still not the house that Esperanza wants to point out like hers.

Esperanza imagines a family of people with tiny, plump feet. Her description of the fairy-tale family merges into an account of a day when a woman gives her, Nanny, Rachel, and Lucy some old pairs of high-heeled shoes that happen to fit their small feet perfectly. The girls are amazed at these shoes because when they put them on, they suddenly have attractive, womanly legs. Some of their male neighbors warn them that such suggestive shoes are not meant for little girls, but the girls ignore them. Other men tease them with sexual comments. The shoes cause a flirtation between Rachel and a drunken bum. He asks her to kiss him for a dollar. Frightened, Lucy leads the girls back to Mango Street. They hide the shoes on Rachel and Lucy’s porch, and later Rachel and Lucy’s mother throws them away. The girls are glad the shoes are gone.

How does Orwell use satire in this passage? Here it became apparent that Mr. Pilkington was about to spring some carefully prepa
S_A_V [24]

This question is missing the options. I've found them online:

How does Orwell use satire in this passage?

a) to present the opposite of the normal order of things

b) to mimic the situation directly to produce a comical effect

c) to expose and condemn the corruption and character flaws of the pigs

d) to exaggerate Mr. Pilkington’s kindness toward the animals on the farm

Answer:

Orwell uses satire in this passage to:

c) to expose and condemn the corruption and character flaws of the pigs

Explanation:

"Animal Farm" is an allegorical novella by George Orwell. It was written as a criticism of the Soviet regime to which Russia was subjected by Stalin. Orwell himself was a democratic-socialist.

The excerpt we are analyzing here was taken from the final chapter of the book. It portrays a meeting between the pigs from Animal Farm and Mr. Pilkington. <u>The animals from the farm tried to establish a fair and equal society after expelling their human owner. However, after becoming the leaders of the new society, the pigs realized their position gave them advantages. Soon, they became more and more similar to humans. They began to exploit the other animals, creating a clear distinction between themselves and the others. They also began to trade with the very humans they once despised. In this excerpt, Pilkington is complimenting the pigs on the way they treat the animals that are below them in social hierarchy. The fact that a corrupt human is complimenting the pigs serves to expose the pigs' corruption and character flaws.</u>
