What are some good ideas for a travel brochure for Animal Farm?

You will want your visitors to be able to tour the places important to the history and current running of Animal Farm, so I would include the following in a travel brochure, with lots of color photos:


The grave of Old Major at the foot of the orchard is a must see, as he was the visionary behind the concept of Animal Farm.

You will want your visitors to be able to tour the places important to the history and current running of Animal Farm, so I would include the following in a travel brochure, with lots of color photos:


The grave of Old Major at the foot of the orchard is a must see, as he was the visionary behind the concept of Animal Farm.


The store shed where the original rebellion broke out is another important destination: this is where it all began. 


The big barn is a highlight of the tour, as here the animals have their weekly Meeting.


Naturally, visitors need to see the pig barn, where the Seven Commandments--or maybe now just the one commandment of Animalism--have been painted. 


The cowshed, scene of the Battle of the Cowshed, where the animals fought off the attack of Farmer Jones and his men, is another must see.


Finally, the tour will end at the windmill, a triumph of Animal Farm, rebuilt after being dynamited by Farmer Jones and his men. Here the corn is milled and sold at a high profit. Here, a tour guide might mention the plans for a second windmill to provide power for the animals to have stalls with electric lights and hot water, but then again, that project is endlessly delayed, so perhaps it's best not to bring it up. Instead, the tour might end with the luxurious quarters in the farmhouse where the pigs live as the humans once did.

In chapter one of The Great Gatsby, what advice does Nick's father give him? How does this make him a good person to tell this story?

Nick says that his father advised him that, before "criticizing anyone," he "remember that all the people in this world haven't had the same advantages" as Nick.  As a result, Nick claims that he is "inclined to reserve all judgments," presenting himself to the reader as a fair and dispassionate arbiter of character, and thus, a reliable narrator.   The problem is that Nick immediately reveals himself as anything but reliable, as he then launches...

How did the United States become an imperial power?

"Imperial power" is a bit of a vague label. It tends to mean several things at once, so let's unpack it. In the sense of "this country was built on conquest by force," the "imperial power" part of America actually predates the United States proper. The territories that would become the United States were imperial colonies, established by the great European empires of the 17th and 18th centuries. Much of the US Constitution and American governance generally goes back to England, history's largest and most successful imperial power, but vital aspects of American culture come from other imperial powers, such as France and Spain. Much of American culture comes from sources other than the old empires, but they were key influences on what the United States became. In the sense of "this country treats conquest by force as a fundamental component of its culture, economy and politics," the United States has always been an imperial power. Even earl...

It is wealth that has allowed Gatz to transform himself into Gatsby.

Gatz became Gatsby through determination and discipline. At the end of the novel, the narr...
