Chapter 4
1. Orwell’s Language used to describe the war (emotive language):
The pellets scored bloody streaks
The war Hurl; flew out; dropped dead; flung;
They were gored, kicked, bitten, trampled on
2. Boxer’s language to describe the war
Sorrowfully
I have no wish to take life, not even human life
3. Snowball’s language to describe the war
War is war. The only good human being is a dead one.
The animals wanted a peaceful life, but the pigs wanted to rule the farm.
Russian people were tricked into the whole revolution, and they had a
different understanding of “rebellion”as the Bolshevik (Russian’s
Communist Party)

课后布置一些 5,6 单元的题目,孩子们课后看看,思考一下。
