Answer from: shyyyy13

a. to emphasize the power of Orpheus music.

In this excerpt, the author uses hyperbole. Hyperbole is a rhetorical device that consists of a gross exaggeration. The author of this text uses this hyperbole when he says that the music Orpheus played was so harmonious it would make the rivers stop in order to listen to it. The most likely reason why the author exaggerates in this way is in order to show how powerful and beautiful Orpheus music was.

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.
