what is animalism as the way it's discussed in animal farm
Animalism in 'Animal Farm' symbolizes a socio-political doctrine of equal rights, originally aimed at creating a fair society for all animals in George Orwell's allegory. However, the concept is corrupted by power, leading to an unequal society under the guise of equality, famously summed up by, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
In Animal Farm, animalism refers to a doctrine that advocates for equal rights and fair treatment of animals. It is an allegorical construct that represents communism and socialism as seen in the Russian Revolution. The animals in the story, led by the pigs, revolt against the oppressive farmer, Mr. Jones, to establish a new society based on equality. However, this society is eventually corrupted by greed, and a new maxim arises: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." This reflects how original principles of freedom and justice can be subverted by those in power. The concept of animalism also draws parallels with the broader social movement towards ethical treatment of animals. Influential works like Upton Sinclair's The Jungle highlighted the need for consideration of non-human interests within human societies. Yet, Animal Farm critiques how revolutionary ideals can be compromised when the leaders, like the pigs, become indistinguishable from the oppressors they overthrew. The interplay between these values and the eventual betrayal of the animalist principles forms a central theme of George Orwell's novel, reflecting on the dangers of power and the fragility of utopian visions.

And started all abroad
The Dust did scoop itself like Hands
And threw away the Road.
The Wagons quickened on the Streets
The Thunder hurried slow--
The Lightning showed a Yellow Beak
And then a livid Claw.
The Birds put up the Bars to Nests--

There came one drop of Giant Rain
And then as if the Hands
That held the Dams had parted hold
The Waters Wrecked the Sky,
But overlooked my Father's House--

First draft
As Proserpina gets bored she asked her mother if she could go out and explore see what this area is like and meet new people the basic stuff. Her mother said yes with one acceptation, only if Proserpina stays near the sea nymphs, and he mother advised her not to go wondering around. Proserpina kept in mind what her mother had told her, but as she was walking she noticed in the fields that there were these beautiful flowers, she was so tempted and couldn't help herself.
When Proserpina was picking out her flowers for her mother in an area where she wasn’t supposed to be in as her mother advised her not to go to the fields. She started to hear footsteps as she was picking her last flower and getting ready to head back, she saw a man, but this wasn’t any man it was king Pluto but of course she had no idea. Proserpina didn’t think nothing of it so she kept walking as king Pluto kept following her she turned around but before she could ask him what he wanted he grabbed her face and throw her on his horse. She kept yelling on the whole ride “who are you? where are u taking me?”. The king didn’t say anything until they arrived, where are you taking me why did u kidnap me Proserpina kept repeating over and over again until the king snapped, STOP WITH THE QOUSTIONS, sorry I have a short temper her stated, but you are here to be my maid. He told her how he she will be working for him.

Meanwhile the king was getting ready to go to bed, but Proserpina hasn’t even flinched she has been trying to find a way to escape and the castle is huge she could get last, so she would have to wait for the king to go out, so she can escape in peace. But today before the king went to bed they talked, and Proserpina felt bad for the king because he has no one. So, although she would love to be gone as soon as she can she still feels bad, but she also knows she has to go back to her mother.
As the sun shined through Proserpina’s window, she had realized it is day time she hasn’t even slept she had been p all night planning her great escape and making plan A Plan B just in case plan A doesn’t work. She couldn’t lay her head for one sec, she kept reliving the moment her mom had told her not to go to that area she felt as the longer she stay’s in that castle she will lose her mind. The king was going to go out to do some thing’s as he stated to Proserpina last night so when he had woken up and started getting ready she got excited she thought to herself maybe after all my plan A will work.
Proserpina starts getting ready to make a run for it ad the king had just left. She going to the front door and see’s if it open and of course it wasn’t but she had saw a back door last night as she was going to her room. So, she runs to it hoping she won’t get lost, as she approaches to the door she hears king Pluto coming back so she just takes a leap of faith and goes for it. *king Pluto walking into his home* “Proserpina oh Proserpina where can u be where is my lunch my worker “he get’s no answer what so ever. He yells for his guards to come inside, “look for the worker in every room NOW!” meanwhile Proserpina is almost back home and out of breath. She run’s inside and her mom just is overwhelmed but the happy kind.

"Concrete Mixers" by Patricia Hubbell The drivers are washing the concrete mixers; Like elephant tenders they hose them down. Tough gray-skinned monsters standing ponderous, Elephant-bellied and elephant-nosed, Standing in muck up to their wheel-caps, Like rows of elephants, tail trunk. Their drivers perch on their backs like mahouts, Sending the sprays of water up. They rid the trunk-like trough of concrete, Direct the spray to the bulging sides, Turn and start the monsters moving. Concrete mixers Move like elephants Bellow like elephants Spray like elephants, Concrete mixers are urban elephants, Their trunks are raising a city.
Write a short essay in which you examine the figurative language in “Concrete Mixers.” Explain what the concrete mixers are compared to, what the parts of the mixers are compared to, and what the drivers of the mixers are compared to. Then, show how the comparisons are related. Use details from the poem in your response. Use the reading selection to help you answer the question.
Hello!
The concrete are being compared to an Urban Elephant. For instance the trunk of an elephant and the nozzle of the concrete mixer. Also, the hose of the concrete mixer and the trunk of the elephant. The elephant is able to suck up water through its trunk and squirts it out.
Hope it helps!
Final answer:
In Patricia Hubbell's "Concrete Mixers," figurative language is used to compare the mixers to elephants, illustrating the strength and grandeur of urban construction. The mixers' components and the drivers are likened to various parts of elephants and their trainers, creating vivid and powerful imagery. Hubbell's use of concrete imagery to mirror the attributes of elephants demonstrates the poem's deep connection between man-made and natural forces.
Explanation:
Examination of Figurative Language in "Concrete Mixers" by Patricia Hubbell
In the poem "Concrete Mixers," Patricia Hubbell uses a rich tapestry of figurative language to compare the concrete mixers to elephants. The parts of the mixers are likened to elephant-bellied and elephant-nosed, emphasizing their large, robust structures. These machines are described as standing in muck, akin to how elephants might stand in their habitat. The drivers of the mixers are compared to mahouts, which are elephant trainers and caretakers, as they 'perch on their backs' and control the powerful equipment.
The comparison establishes a parallel between the construction environment and the natural strength and grandeur of elephants. The mixers moving, bellowing, and spraying water are all actions that mirror the behaviors of these majestic animals. This figurative language not only creates vivid imagery but also imparts a sense of might and purpose to the urban construction scene. The concreteness of the imagery draws the reader into the experience and allows for a deeper understanding and appreciation of the mundane through the grandiose comparisons.
By drawing these comparisons, Hubbell effectively uses figurative language to transform a common urban sight into a spectacle of nature's power. The physicality of the mixers and their association with elephants render the poem more impactful, engaging the reader's senses and imagination. This connection between man-made construction and natural strength underlines the resilience and significance of urban development, symbolically raised by the 'trunks' of these 'urban elephants.'

Explanation:
Read the excerpt from E.O. Wilson’s “The Environmental Ethic.” Species are disappearing at an accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but also pollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural environments. I have said that a fifth or more of the species of plants and animals could vanish or be doomed to early extinction by the year 2020 unless better efforts are made to save them. . . . As the last forests are felled in forest strongholds like the Philippines and Ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more. In the world as a whole, extinction rates are already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before the coming of man. They cannot be balanced by new evolution in any period of time that has meaning for the human race. What message does the author convey in this excerpt? Humans need to take action to end further destruction of the natural environment. In the coming years, humans will put forth stronger efforts to save plants and animals. The extinction of plant and animal species is problematic in the Philippines and Ecuador. In recent years, the extinction rate for many animal species has significantly increased.
E.O. Wilson's excerpt highlights the urgent need for conservation efforts to halt the accelerating rate of species extinction caused by human activities, emphasizing the irreversibility of extinction and the inability of evolution to compensate in a human-relevant timeframe.
The excerpt from E.O. Wilson's "The Environmental Ethic" delivers a stark message about the current rate of species extinction and the role of human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, and introduction of exotic species in this crisis. Wilson warns that a significant portion of the world's biodiversity, including plants and animals, could disappear or become critically endangered by the year 2020 if drastic conservation efforts are not undertaken.
The author underscores the urgency of this environmental issue, particularly emphasizing the situations in the Philippines and Ecuador, where rapid deforestation is leading to an accelerated decline in species. Furthermore, Wilson makes it clear that the current rates of extinction are unprecedented and cannot be balanced by new evolution in any time frame relevant to humanity. Thus, the primary message conveyed is the imperative need for humans to take immediate action to preserve biodiversity and prevent further environmental degradation.
