2. Identify 1 example of the following literary device used in the poem:
put down those words, rocks picked hastily from the beach of mind for your defense. there is no need for such an action to be taken.
Unprimed your Anger. cannons never stopped a war but brought more cannons In to bear. I am unarmed. see, my hands are empty.
If you must fight then let it be with gestures. once stinging sentence tears my flesh words cannot be withdrawn.
gestures can be bent though, broken, turned from anger into love by slightness twist or wrist. here is my hand: please take it.

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.

the author motivation is to show the power of animal-human relationships.
