Bug Watcher Mike had all the right tools for his job: the high-powered binoculars, the tripod with feet that bent in multiple directions so he could set it on rough terrain and the best darned camera available on the market, with zoom lenses that could make a fly 100 feet away look huge. Not to mention the clothes—microfiber, breathable, comfortable, unscratchable by any branches known to man, and mudproof to boot. Oh, and he had good boots too—durable ones. So, when he caught sight of the most glorious luna moth any bug scientist could ever hope to spot, he was ready to shoot.

The camera's shutter clicked 20 times before that luna moth had a chance to flap its front wing. This way, Mike made sure he had the kind of shot that his magazine employers would want. Then, as the moth hopped from one leaf to another, he used his rapid-fire shutter gizmo to catch it in motion another 20 times or so.

But Mike could see something odd about this new leaf the moth had chosen. It had bumps on it he didn't usually see on that kind of leaf. And the moth started touching one of its feelers to different bumps in a weird way. It looked as if it were typing notes onto the—bumps! Kind of a one-feeler-tip typing system, but it was pretty fast. And, between spurts of tapping the bumps, the moth looked right at Mike. Mike knew that a bug like this couldn't really see him. It couldn't make sense of a shape like he or his camera and tripod would form. But he felt that the luna moth was studying him, as if it were a people scientist.

He missed a few shots as he paused in amazement at this idea. Then he remembered to catch the glorious moth as it moved. Maybe when he developed them, the photographs would help him decide if he was going crazy and imagining things.

They didn't really. They showed the image of a luna moth twitching its feeler on the leaf. You couldn't tell why it might have been doing that. But, what if those odd bumps on that leaf really could tell some kind of story about him or about whatever that moth could see in his direction?

Read the passage from animal farm. "that was part of the arrangement! " cried squealer. "jones's shot only grazed him. i could show you this in his own writing, if you were able to read it. the plot was for snowball, at the critical moment, to give the signal for flight and leave the field to the enemy. and he very nearly succeeded—i will even say, comrades, he would have succeeded if it had not been for our heroic leader, comrade napoleon. do you not remember how, just at the moment when jones and his men had got inside the yard, snowball suddenly turned and fled, and many animals followed him? and do you not remember, too, that it was just at that moment, when panic was spreading and all seemed lost, that comrade napoleon sprang forward with a cry of 'death to humanity! ' and sank his teeth in jones's leg? surely you remember that, comrades? " exclaimed squealer, frisking from side to side. now when squealer described the scene so graphically, it seemed to the animals that they did remember it. at any rate, they remembered that at the critical moment of the battle snowball had turned to flee. but boxer was still a little uneasy. how does the characterization of squealer support the author’s purpose? squealer's dramatic accusations draw parallels between him and stalin’s propagandists. squealer's uncertainty shows that he is not a reliable ally of napoleon and is ineffective with messaging. squealer's ability to get the animals to listen to him shows that any animal can rise to be a leader in time. squealer's humble interactions with the animals reflect the importance of equality and cooperation.

In at least 150 words, discuss the comparison described in the figurative language and how the connotative language reinforces the symbol. certainly the utmost rim of my first dome was filled with the tumultuous impression of soldiers marching to death for freedom's sake, of pioneers streaming westward to establish self-government in yet another sovereign state. only the great dome of st. peter's itself has ever clutched my heart as did that modest curve which had sequestered from infinitude in a place small enough for my child's mind, the courage and endurance which i could not comprehend so long as it was lost in "the void of unresponsible space" under the vaulting sky itself.
