how does orwells neutral, third-person point of view shape the readers understanding of the conflict between snowball and napoleon?
(5 points)
it presents both perspectives fairly, allowing readers to judge for themselves
it makes the reader take napoleons side automatically
it shows the animals as unimportant observers
it reveals snowballs secret plan in detail

Explanation:

For the first question: The repetitive slogan "Four legs good, two legs bad" is a form of propaganda. In the context of the story (Animal Farm), propaganda is used to control and direct the animals' actions. When the animals chant this slogan and work hard (no one shirks), it shows how propaganda can unify and drive collective action.
For the second question: A neutral, third - person point of view does not favor one character over another. It simply presents the facts of the conflict (Snowball wants a windmill, Napoleon opposes). This allows readers to analyze the arguments and actions of both characters without the author imposing a particular bias, so they can form their own judgments.

Answer:

First question: It shows how propaganda reinforces collective action.
Second question: It presents both perspectives fairly, allowing readers to judge for themselves.
