"but they did," said ana. "and it's up to us to save them." it was a weekend in may and hot. you'd have thought that those beans were hers. they needed water, especially in that heat. she said the girl hadn't come in four days -- sick, probably, or gone out of town. ana had twisted her ankle and couldn't manage the stairs. she pointed to a pitcher. "fill that up and soak them good. quick now." school janitors take too much bossing all week to listen to an extra on weekends. i stared at her one long moment, then took my time about filling the pitcher. what tells readers the narrators perspective on saving the bean plants? a.)ana's words b.)ana's thoughts c.)the narrator's words d.)the narrator's thoughts

In this passage, the narrator is not very vocal when it comes to what he actually believes about the beans. He accepts that Ana wants to take care of the beans. However, by looking at what he thinks, we can tell that the narrator actually believes this to be a pointless mission. Moreover, based on the thoughts that the narrator has, we can also tell that he does not like the tone that Ana employs.

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.
