Which statement best summarizes one central theme of “the gun” by philip k. dic?

ANSWER: B. To discuss the implications of destructive technology

Philip K. Dic's The Gun tells the tale of a group of space adventurers who crash landed on a dead city in another planet after being shot down by a gun that is programmed to shoot anything entering the airspace. Despite destroying it, the gun has been repaired by automated machines as they were about to leave.

This plot centers on advanced technologies and the power they have.

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.

normally working animals are domesticated and ruled by a master, a domesticator (tamer), to perform basic and important functions on a farm, for example. the value used in this context is animal labor in exchange for food. it is not so much a contrast to the story told by napoleon and the pigs, since the animals of that particular farm also performed functions on the farm through domestication. the only thing is that in this case, who rules them is a pig, also an animal, but very respected, to whom the other animals lent him submission. that's about a strong relationship of dependency between animal and owner.
