Read the story.

ever since his father hurt his back baling hay for the horses, jonah had been taking on more responsibility around the family’s farm. a lanky boy of 15, with a shock of blond hair as sun bleached as summer wheat, jonah was too young to run off and join the navy. his older brother, sam, had signed up right after the japanese attack on pearl harbor five months before on december 7, 1941. in addition to his brother’s chores and his own, jonah had to take on the work that had been done by the three of them only months before. consequently, jonah didn’t have time to go to school since the work had to be done during the daylight. when he told his parents that he wanted to drop out of school completely, his mother wouldn’t hear of it. “you need an education if you want to get ahead in this world,” she told him.

which phrase from the excerpt is an analogy?

"baling hay for the horses"

"run off and join the navy"

"want to get ahead in this world"

"hair as sun bleached as summer wheat"

Read the passage from animal farm. as clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. if she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. these scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old major first stirred them to rebellion. if she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of major's speech. instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. there was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. she knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of napoleon. but still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled. it was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of jones's gun. such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them. what was most likely orwell’s purpose for writing this passage? to show that clover is more sensitive to violence than the others to remind readers of major's speech and the original rebellion to present napoleon as a cruel leader unworthy of the animals’ support to represent misled followers and their dashed hopes for better lives
