Once these disparate parts were held together by a
common enemy, by the fault lines of world wars and the
electrified fence of communism. With the end of the
cold war there was the creeping concern that without a
focus for hatred and distrust, a sense of national
identity would evaporate, that the left side of the
hyphen-African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-
American-would overwhelm the right. And slow-
growing domestic traumas like economic unrest and
increasing crime seemed more likely to emphasize
division than community. Today the citizens of the
United States have come together once more because
of armed conflict and enemy attack.

Read the passage from animal farm. "that was part of the arrangement! " cried squealer.

' and sank his teeth in jones's leg? surely you remember that, comrades? " exclaimed squealer, frisking from side to side. now when squealer described the scene so graphically, it seemed to the animals that they did remember it. at any rate, they remembered that at the critical moment of the battle snowball had turned to flee. but boxer was still a little uneasy. how does the characterization of squealer support the author’s purpose? squealer's dramatic accusations draw parallels between him and stalin’s propagandists. squealer's uncertainty shows that he is not a reliable ally of napoleon and is ineffective with messaging. squealer's ability to get the animals to listen to him shows that any animal can rise to be a leader in time. squealer's humble interactions with the animals reflect the importance of equality and cooperation.
