Read the excerpt from chapter 10 of Animal Farm.
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The reader knows that Mr. Pilkington is praising a  flawed and brutal system.

Explanation:

Dramatic irony is when the audience or readers know something about the scene and would expect it to happen which the characters in the story or scene seem to have no idea. The speech and behavior of the characters will contradict the upcoming event, which the readers or viewers can predict but not by the characters in the story.

In the given excerpt from chapter 10 from “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, we see Mr. Pilkington give a speech about how much he and his human friends have regarded the way Animal Farm was run by Napoleon. He is seen praising the brutal system that was the basis of how the farm was run and also promised that he along with his fellow humans will institute the same system in their own farms. And through his speech,<u> we as readers, know that Mr. Pilkington was praising a system that is both brutal and flawed. </u>

How does Atticus feel about the mob that came to the jail? (To Kill a Mockingbird)
stepan [7]

Answer: Atticus feels that the mob that can to the jail is still human in spite of all the threats that they posed.

Explanation: In Chapter 16, Atticus explains to his children that "every mob in every little Southern town is made up of people you know---doesn't say much for them, does it?" (Lee 97). Atticus believes that a mob is only a group of individuals that share similar views.

Remembering how the mob tried to lynch Tom Robinson, Mr. Finch also refers to them as a "gang of wild animals" who are still human, as Scout brought them to their senses when she came out of hiding and talked about Mr. Cunningham's son.
