How does the use of scapegoating support the theme in this
passage?
Even dictators will be mourned by those they oppressed
for years.
It is common for dictators to fear attacks by enemies both
real and invented.
Dictators will blame an invisible foe for problems in order
to explain events.
O Most problems are caused by those who have been cast
away for causing harm.

Dictators will blame an invisible foe for problems in order to explain events.

Explanation:

Scapegoating is often used by dictators to justify their decisions, whether the scapegoat is a real threat or not. In the passage, Napoleon bans the consumption of alcohol, a decision which really has little to do with the events in the story but is rather motivated by Napoleon's interests to control the farm. However, by using Snowball as a scapegoat, Napoleon can justify his decision without causing uproar from the other animals. A similar example in the real world would be a president banning products from another company by stating that their products are used for espionage when the decision is rather motivated by reducing the power and income of the other country.

Explanation:

subject: why anyone can be a genius.

occasion: moving forward in life.

audience: average person

purpose: to push you further in life

speaker: many famous geniuses.

here is the poem:

here is thy, and here is thee, genius is for what he can be.

poem is a matter of rhyme, but like ben frank said, life is a matter of time.

we have great inventors such as thomas edison, who said, "genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration." no, no perspiration as what comes from your skeleton.

we have great minds, from places of all kinds, such as yu kaw la chi tie, (now im switching languages because yu kaw was japanese.)

てちハラスイヒイス, てちラスイヒイス

you are a genius, well not yet, but you are capable, and that is a bet.
