Read the excerpt below and answer the question. "When he did appear, he was attended not only by his retinue of dogs but by a black cockerel who marched in front of him and acted as a kind of trumpeter, letting out a loud 'cack-a-doodle-doo' before Napoleon spoke."

In at least 100 words, explain the setting and event Indicated in the above excerpt. Then, describe the characters participating in the event and explain the context clues that helped you define the highlighted vocabulary word ("retinue").

I figured out the answer to the question by myself, so here it is:

In this particular scene from the above excerpt taken from George Orwell's "Animal Farm," the narrator explains that Napoleon had now felt he had become so powerful that he did not need to appear in front of the other animals as often; when he did arrive, however, he brought his pack of dogs and a black cockerel to protect him and give out a warning to the other animals should anything happen. The reader would be able to discern the meaning of the word "retinue," as it is used in the excerpt above, by their knowledge that Napoleon had raised a pack of dogs to fight for him. In this case, retinue acts as a synonym to "pack".

Please put your answer in your own words :)

gandhi's the story of my experiments with truth puts us in the first person. this allows us to really understand the characters and feel like we are living within the story. if it was in third person we may have felt as if we were just watching the story unfold. since it is in first person it allows us the opportunity to feel as if we really are a part of the story.

its a hard situation i cant really answer because the essay is for you to write.
