Question

read the passage from chapter 1 of animal farm. \i have little more to say. i merely repeat, remember always your duty of enmity towards man and all his ways. whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. and remember also that in fighting against man, we must not come to resemble him. even when you have conquered him, do not adopt his vices. no animal must ever live in a house, or sleep in a bed, or wear clothes, or drink alcohol, or smoke tobacco, or touch money, or engage in trade. all the habits of man are evil. and, above all, no animal must ever tyrannise over his own kind. weak or strong, clever or simple, we are all brothers. no animal must ever kill any other animal. all animals are equal.\ how does orwell use satire to support his purpose in this passage? he uses parody to reveal the cruelness of communist leaders. he uses ridicule to make fun of the beliefs of revolutionaries. he uses parody to make the working class seem silly. he uses exaggeration to make communism appear too simplistic.

Explanation:

In Animal Farm, Orwell uses the animals' revolution as a parody of the Russian Revolution. The passage shows the animals' simplistic beliefs about opposing Man (representing the old regime). By presenting these beliefs in a parodic way, Orwell is highlighting the overly simplistic nature of some revolutionary ideas. Communism aimed for equality and a class - free society, but the animals' rules (like "Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy") are too simplistic. For example, the idea that all two - legged beings are enemies ignores the complexity of human - animal (or in the allegorical sense, class - related) relationships.

Answer:

He uses exaggeration to make communism appear too simplistic.
