Explanation:

Summarizing means taking the main statements or the most important ideas of a text, reducing it to its essentials. In the case of the excerpt presented, there are multiple ideas related to the importance of art as the foundation of being human and connected to this idea, the importance of reevaluating priorities in terms of the funding to the school's art department as it will have consequences in students. Considering this, the most important or essential ideas in this text are first the importance of art "Art is the foundation of what it means to be a human" and due to this, the importance of considering the funding of the school's department as cutting it would have a negative impact on students "We should not cut the funding to the school's art department, because the students will suffer"

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.
