Which statement best explains how the pacing reveals
character in this passage?
within a few weeks snowball's plans for the windmill
were fully worked out. the mechanical details came
mostly from three books which had belonged to mr.
jones. snowball used as his study a shed which had
once been used for incubators and had a smooth wooden
floor, suitable for drawing on. he was closeted there for
hours at a time. with his books held open by a stone, and
with a piece of chalk gripped between the knuckles of his
trotter, he would move rapidly to and fro, drawing in line
after line and uttering little whimpers of excitement.
gradually the plans grew into a complicated mass of
cranks and cog-wheels, covering more than half the floor,
which the other animals found completely unintelligible
but very impressive.
