What makes Animal Farm a totalitarian society?

is established with
good intentions. The animals rise up to overthrow Jones and envision a society based on the
teachings of , in which all animals will be equal and the exploitation of the many by the few
(i.e. people) will cease. But by Chapter Seven, it is obvious that the animals' experiment has
become a totalitarian nightmare. The animals, near starvation, labor on another windmill, the
first one having collapsed due to poor design. The hens are forced to give up their eggs, and,
when they protest, are starved into submission.makesinto a figure of fear, claiming that he is
sabotaging the farm at night, and 's manipulation of the truth about Snowball through propaganda
is a hallmark of totalitarian governments everywhere. At the end of the chapter, the degree to
which Animal Farm has degenerated into totalitarian government is made clear, as Napoleon has
several animals executed in plain view of the rest as punishment for supposedly treasonous
activities. Many of the animals have so internalized the pigs' propaganda that they actually
turn themselves in to be brutally killed by Napoleon's dogs. The event has a profound effect on
the animals, as seen in 's description of Clover's thoughts:

These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that
night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion...Instead...they had come to a time when no
one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to
watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. There was no thought of
rebellion or disobedience in her mind. She knew that, even as things were, they were far better
off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent
the return of the human beings...But still, it was not for this that she and all the other
animals had hoped and toiled. 

At this point, it seems,
Animal Farm has become a truly totalitarian society, far from Old Major's vision of equality and
prosperity for the animals. Using terror, mind control, and violence, Napoleon has made himself
into a dictator as brutal as the humans.

How old was Romeo in Romeo and Juliet?

While 's age is
explicitly stated as 13, 's age is never officially revealed within the text.  Most stage and
movie renditions that I have seen put him as older than Juliet, but still in his teen years.
 His somewhat impulsive behavior and the rapidity with which he is able to transition from
feelings for Rosaline to strong feelings for Juliet seem to indicate a high hormone level, which
would be more consistent for a teenager than for someone in his early twenties.

While a 13-year-old bride might seem ludicrous in the modern age, we must remember that
the life expectancy during Shakespeare's time was only about 30-35 years.  People married far
younger and started families far earlier in Shakespeare's day than they do at
present.

Why is the Englishman Santiago's foil in The Alchemist?

Great
question! To fully answer your query about the Englishman in s novel , it
is important to fully understand the concept of a foil.

In literature, a foil
is a character who mirrors another character, most frequently the . A foil is similar enough to
the protagonist for a reader to see parallels between the two. For example, both may have the
same motivations, the same background, or the same personality. However, a foil differs from the
protagonist in some major way that creates a visible contrast. This contrast between characters
highlights certain qualities of the protagonist. In Coelhos book The
Alchemist, the Englishman fits this mold of a literary foil. To clearly explain why,
we need to review the characteristics of the protagonist.

The protagonist of
The Alchemist is Santiago, a youthful Andalusian shepherd. Santiago
journeys to the Egyptian pyramids in search of a treasure. However, Santiagos journey quickly
shifts purpose when he meets...

Analyze Phoenix's language in "A Worn Path." What is conveyed through her speech?

The first
time we hear Phoenix speak, she says:

Out of my way, all
you foxes, owls, beetles, jack rabbits, coons and wild animals!...Keep out from under these
feet, little bob-whites...Keep the big wild hogs out of my path. Don't let none of those come
running my direction. I got a long way.

All of these
sentences, except for the final one, are imperative sentences. In other words, each is phrased
as a command. She tells the animals to get Out of (her) way and to Keep out from under (her)
feet. This repetition of imperative sentences suggests that Phoenix is a rather bad-tempered old
lady or that she is simply in a hurry to get somewhere.

A little later in the
story, as she is walking up a hill, Phoenix says, Seem like there is chains about my feet,
time I get this far, and then, Something always take a hold of me on this hill - pleads I
should stay. Phoenixs speech is grammatically unconventional. For example, she uses the singular
form of the verb, take with the singular form of the noun Something. She should, to be
grammatically correct (or conventional), use the plural form of the verb with the singular form
of the noun. Such grammatically unconventional constructions suggest that Phoenix is perhaps a
lower-class woman.

In the quotations above, Phoenix also uses vague,
speculative language like Something and Seem like. This vague, speculative language implies
that Phoenix is uncertain or confused as to what it is that seems to hold her back. She seems to
suspect that there is some invisible, mysterious force at work. She also uses ato compare this
mysterious force to chains about [her] feet, implying that it is a hostile force. This perhaps
indicates that Phoenix is not only uncertain or confused, but also perhaps a little
afraid.

Phoenix also has a playful side to her personality, however, and this
too comes out in her speech. For example, when somebody asks her later in the story, How old
are you, Granny? she replies with, Theres no telling, mister€¦no telling. When the same person
asks her what she is doing lying in a ditch, Phoenix replies, Lying on my back like a June bug
waiting to be turned over, mister.

In The Bronze Bow, how are the beliefs of Rosh and Jesus different?

Both Rosh and
Jesus are seen by the villagers as men opposing the Roman rule over Israel. However, they are
extremely different in their beliefs and methods. Rosh is a bandit living in the hills; he has
been active for a long time, and people are accustomed to hisabout eventually leading an army to
rout the Romans. However, his excursions are always for theft and intimidation, and despite his
words he never actually takes steps to move on Rome. In fact, he avoids confrontations with
Roman soldiers because, as Daniel realizes, the Romans are content to allow Rosh his banditry as
another method of keeping the villagers scared and dependent.

Suddenly words were echoing in his mind. "For each one of you is precious in His
sight." Not scripture, but the words of the carpenter. That was what had confused him.
Rosh looked at a man and saw a thing to be used, like a tool or a weapon. Jesus
looked and saw a child of God.
(Speare, , Google
Books)

When Jesus comes to the village, Daniel expects
that he will use his great charisma and apparent supernatural powers to lead a revolution.
However, Daniel soon realizes that Jesus is working towards changing hearts and minds; he is not
trying to foster a violent rebellion, but instead trying to spread love and peace through the
region. Jesus believes that since all humans are God's children, then peace will come through
mutual love and understanding, not through war. This shows how Rosh is simply a user of people
to his own ends, while Jesus attempts to enlighten people how to better themselves and
others.
