Does this intro paragraph sound good or bad?
will give !
george orwell provided wisdom and power in his 1945   symbolic novel animal farm, including what has become one of his most recognizable quotes; "man is the only creature that consumes without producing." the quote can be seen in the first chapter of the book, making it a wonderful beginning to the novel. everyone has had different understandings and thinkings of this quote including myself.

The first sentence is wonderful!

The rest of the paragraph (especially what I believe is a thesis) looks pretty weak to me. The second sentence is an opinion, which (depending on the assignment) may or not be what you were trying to go for.  Maybe rewrite it a bit, perhaps briefly telling what impact it has on the story. This can lead into the third sentence, which should probably be rewritten to something like:

"Though this quote has many different interpretations, it is about *INSERT YOUR INTERPRETATION HERE*."

The second part, after the comma of that sentence, should be tailored to fit your thesis/claim.

If this is an essay, I suggest you don't use first person ("Me" "I" etc.), unless that is what the assignment asks you to do. I know my teachers usually frown upon using first person in essays though...

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
