Read the following excerpt from Katherine Anne Porter's "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall": Cornelia's voice staggered and jumped like a cart in a bad road. It rounded
corners and turned back again and arrived nowhere. Granny stepped up in the
cart very lightly and reached for the reins, but a man sat beside her and she
knew him by his hands, driving the cart. She did not look in his face, for she
knew without seeing, but looked instead down the road where the trees leaned
over and bowed to each other and a thousand birds were singing a Mass. She
felt like singing too, but she put her hand in the bosom of her dress and pulled
out a rosary, and Father Connolly murmured Latin in a very solemn voice and
tickled her feet. My God, will you stop that nonsense? I'm a married woman.
What if he did run away and leave me to face the priest by myself? I found
another a whole world better. I wouldn't have exchanged my husband for
anybody except St. Michael himself, and you may tell him that for me with a
thank you in the bargain.
Light flashed on her closed eyelids, and a deep roaring shook her. Cornelia, is
that lightning? I hear thunder. There's going to be a storm. Close all the
windows. Call the children in ... "Mother, here we are, all of us." "Is that you
Hapsy?" "Oh, no, I'm Lydia. We drove as fast as we could." Their faces drifted
above her, drifted away. The rosary fell out of her hands and Lydia put it back.
Jimmy tried to help, their hands fumbled together, and granny closed two
fingers around Jimmy's thumb. Beads wouldn't do, it must be something alive.
She was so amazed her thoughts ran round and round. So, my dear Lord, this is
my death and I wasn't even thinking about it. My children have come to see me
die. But I can't, it's not time. Oh, I always hated surprises.

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.

nobody can deny that cars are the most used means of transport all over the world. however owing a car could have some disadvantages. first of all, having a car on your own allows you to go everywhere without depending on timetables. moreover, you can use it whenever you need it no matter the time or the climate conditions. furthermore, if you have a car, you would not have to wait for nobody to share it when going to somewhere. nevertheless, one major disadvantages of owing a car is the fact that fuel is very expensive nowadays so that not everyone can afford it. in addition, you have to pay insurance to be protected by legal conditions. apart from this, the person who owns a car always has to maintain the car and repair any mechanical problem which could costs a huge amount of money. what is more, if you have to travel long distances, and you do not like driving, one probably would be exhausted and irritated due to driving for a long time. besides, cars cause environmental pollution. to sum up, owing a car means that you have more freedom to travel whenever and wherever people want to, however the car maintenance could be a very expensive issue that can have bad consequences at your economy.
