The animals
are said to have a "stormy debate," for instance, over retirement ages. "Stormy
debate" is aused to describe the arguments that arise between 's and 's ideas. Since it is
not literally rainy and windy as they debate, the word stormy is being used as a , or a
comparison that does not use the words like or as, to describe the tension of these
debates.
Whensays to the other animals that "Day and night we are
watching over your welfare," the phrase "day and night" functions as a figure of
speech. The pigs are not literally watching over the animals twenty-four a day, as they have to
sleep and do other things. The phrase is an example of(exaggeration) used to emphasize a point.
Further, it is a cliche, or an overused term that has been repeated so many times it has lost
most of its power. It is just filler language, which is very typical of Squealer. Finally, the
words "watching over your welfare" are also a figure of speech....
