The narrator's tone is sarcastic and cynical, with a heavy dose of irony. To demonstrate the absurdity of treating children like food and livestock, he uses a modest and reasonable tone while presenting his views, which helps establish the legitimacy of his proposals. Satirizing discourses that assess individuals in practical and economic terms, this "reasonable" tone satirizes.

In his remarks, he provided many examples. "this kind of commodity will not bear exportation, the flesh being of too tender a consistence to admit an extended continuance in salt," or his statement that "saleable commodity", or later in the essay he states that "For this kind of commodity will not bear exportation, the flesh being of too tender a consistence to admit a long continuance in salt, although perhaps I could name a country which would be glad to eat up our whole nation without it." People who transform humanity into cold economic ideas may be successfully satirized because of the tone. Although the argument is sound on a logical level, it is ethically repugnant.

Answer from: Quest

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.

Answer from: Quest

My motto has always been ''live life to the fullest.''

Read the passage first of all if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. you can’t prove that something is impossible-all you know is that[it] hasn’t been done yet. people said no one could scale mount everest but in 1953, sir edmund hilary and tenzing norway gazed down upon the world from it’s summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, “okay, we admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” if we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish? which identifies the textual evidence that best supports the claim: the authors purpose is to persuade? a: the author shares historical information about the wright brothers. b: the author states that men have walked the moon. c: the author states that others who think your dreams are impossible are wrong. d: the author wants to know what tasks we cannot accomplish.
