Read the paragraph from “Make Your Own Microscope.” Now, I know what some people might say. They’ll argue that not everyone has a smartphone. They’ll say that the low cost of making a microscope like mine doesn’t factor in the price of the phone itself. They might even say that they don’t have the skill to build their own smartphone microscope. In response, let me say two things. One, I never said the solution to my problem would work for everyone. I’m only saying that it’s a good idea for people who already have smartphones. It’s a bit like buying a special app that lets you do even more with your phone! Two, it is easy to build this type of microscope. Believe me, I’m not a mechanical whiz. I can barely pump up the tires on my bike. So if I can do this, anyone can do it.

Read the passage from animal farm. "that was part of the arrangement! " cried squealer. "jones's shot only grazed him. i could show you this in his own writing, if you were able to read it. the plot was for snowball, at the critical moment, to give the signal for flight and leave the field to the enemy. and he very nearly succeeded—i will even say, comrades, he would have succeeded if it had not been for our heroic leader, comrade napoleon. do you not remember how, just at the moment when jones and his men had got inside the yard, snowball suddenly turned and fled, and many animals followed him? and do you not remember, too, that it was just at that moment, when panic was spreading and all seemed lost, that comrade napoleon sprang forward with a cry of 'death to humanity! ' 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.
