Section 1 Assignment: Reading Animal Farm Read all parts of your assignment carefully and record your answers in the appropriate places. 1. Hardly a d ay goes by without someone using rhetorical questions. In fact, their use becomes so matter-of-fact that you can be unaware of their frequency and purpose. a. Find two rhetorical questions of Major’s, and write the effect each creates. An example is given to get you started. .... . ■ ' 1 ^ 1 , ; , ' f ' s " 's' ■ ' ' " “What is the nature of this life of ours?” It p aves the way for Major to itemize all the hardships animals have to endure; it leads the animals toward the Idea that their lives are defined by misery and slavery. English Language Arts 10-1: Module 5 2 Assignment Booklet 5A b. Old Major may be a master rhetorician, but his speech-making wouldn’t succeed unless his audience was receptive in the first place. What particular conditions on Manor Farm help lend support to old Major’s argument? 2. In what ways is Orwell’s choice of setting effective for developing his plot and conveying his themes? English Language Arts 10-1: Module 5 3 Assignment Booklet 5A well. Give two pieces of evidence that indicate or foretell trouble. 3. In Chapters 2 t o 4, there are hints of major difficulties to come and signs that not all is g oing plot. Describe two things Orwell does to keep the suspense alive in Chapters 2, 3, and 4. 4 .To ensure that a r e ader keeps on reading a n ovel, a n ovelist has to inject suspense into the Farm. However, they need leadership. Snowball and Napoleon provide leadership but they use veiy different styles. Compare the leadership provided by Snowball and Napoleon. 5 .a. The animals are illiterate and ignorant, yet the y support old Major’s ideals of Animal English Language Arts 10-1: Module 5 4 Assignment Booklet 5A 3^ b. Napoleon uses feai' and intimidation to control the animals. They may be gullible and easily persuaded — no match for the crafty and shrewd Squealer and Napoleon — however, most are not cowardly or selfish. (There are exceptions, such as the cat and Moses.) You know the animals aren’t selfish, because of their continued hard work, their concern for others, and their braveiy at the Battle of the Cowshed and the Battle of the Windmill. Yet, they're fearful. How does Napoleon use fear and intimidation to control the animals’ emotions, thoughts, and actions? List at least three examples. 6. Read the following passage, taken from Chapter 9, after Boxer had been taken away by the van marked “Horse Slaughterer.” Explain the inferences and insights you can make that the characters can’t. But the explanation was really very simple. The van had previously been the property of the knacker, and had been bought by the veterinary surgeon, who had not yet painted the old name out. That was how the mistake had arisen. The animals were enormously relieved to hear this. . . . . . . And in a f ew days’ time the pigs intended to hold a memorial banquet in Boxer’s honour. ... On the day appointed for the banquet, a g rocer’s van . . . d elivered a l arge wooden crate at the farmhouse. . . . [ Tjhe word went round that from somewhere or other the pigs had acquired the money to buy themselves another case of whisky. English Language Arts 10-1: Module 5 5 Assignment Booklet 5A 7. In Section 1, y ou studied the speeches of Major and Squealer, noting how each character skilfully uses language to manipulate and persuade his audience. Although each character has different ideals and different goals, they are both skilled rhetoricians. Using your knowledge of Major's and Squealer's verbal tactics, write a p ersuasive speech that Benjamin could have delivered to the animals after their experiences in Chapter 10. Try to imagine that at this very low point in the animals' lives, Benjamin feels he must finally act upon the injustices he sees around him. Benjamin seems an obvious choice because he notices more than the other animals do and because he is able to read and write. Before you begin your speech, look back at Major's speech in Chapter 1 and Squealer's speeches in other chapters to see what they say and how they say it. In addition, look over the material you studied in Section 1 that examined Major's and Squealer's speaking skills. You probably remember how each speaker formed rhetorical questions to promote his arguments. As you study their speeches, take note of other tactics they use, seeing if y ou can adapt these strategies for Benjamin's speech. Choose your words carefully. Remember what you have learned about word choice, sequence of details, introductory and summary points, and variety and correctness of sentences. The following planning and composing hints will serve as a g uide. English Language Arts 10-1: Module 5 6 Assignment Booklet 5A Planning and Composing Hints Purpose • Establish the purposes of the speech. For example, what would have prompted Benjamin to prepare a speech? What would he want to accomplish? Audience • Be clear about Benjamin's audience. What do they know of the past? What strengths and weaknesses of his audience will you consider as you prepare the speech? • Will you appeal to the audience's emotions? Intellect? Content and Form • What are the main points of your argument? What do you want to say? • Will you make statements? Give opinions? Raise questions? • Will all your questions be rhetorical? Sequence of Points • How, and in what order, will you raise your points? • How will you get the attention of your audience? How will you conclude? Delivery • What will the tone of your speech be? Will you vary this tone? Here's a b rief checklist for you to consult. Look it over carefully before you begin your assignment and once again before you submit it. Read the Assessment Criteria before you submit your assignment.
