Winter is between autumn and spring, and is the coldest season. In northern parts of the world it starts in December and finishes in March, and in southern parts of the world it begins in June and
ends in August. Some countries use the temperature to decide when springs begins and winter
ends.
The name winter comes from an old German word which means 'time of water', because of the
rain and snow that falls in northern areas. When there is enough snow, many people go skiing,
snowboarding or sledding. Ice skating is also popular.
Animals either travel to a warmer place in the winter, or sleep until the weather gets warmer. If
Ley don't sleep and stay outside, their fur gets thicker and keeps them warm.
The lowest temperature in the United States was in Alaska on January the 3rd 1971, when the
temperature went down to -62°c. In December 2017 and January 2018, there were also very cold
temperatures in the US. Scientists think that winter weather is getting worse, maybe because of
climate change, and that people should prepare for more extreme winters.

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.

good morning!

your answer would be b. character vs. society.

hope this buddy!

mark me brainliest!

have a great day!

well stockyards mean a large yard containing pens and sheds, typically adjacent to a slaughterhouse, in which livestock is kept and sorted. and i'm assuming that by party you   mean a large group of people which does make sense because chicago is a very crowded place much like new york. stockyards tend to take up a lot of room due to needing the area for pens to keep animals in and the fact that stockyards are usually right by slaughterhouse where they process and distribute the product. so its much like a zoo but with some dead animal products close by.
