Question.373 - Experienced writers are sticklers about flow. They use techniques like "This _____" and cue words to make sure that?every single sentence?follows necessarily from the one right before it. This might seem redundant or over-the-top. But it sounds quite natural if it's done with some variety. Let's test this out. The sentences below are from a text about George Orwells (1945)?Animal Farm?that has been scrambled from its original order. The writer was such a stickler for continuity, though, that its possible to re-assemble the paragraph in its original sequence. The trick is to pay attention to the transitional cuesthis _____ or for exampleand to look for the sentence these cues refer to (what Old concept from the previous sentence is it starting with?) In the discussion below, tell us the sequence of the?first five sentences?in the paragraph. Explain your choices. How did you know that 5 came first, 2 was second, etc? Feel free to "like" and/or to reply to others and talk about differences or similarities in your choices. Example:?1, 6, 3, 7, 2. One is the topic sentence because... You can tell 6 comes after 1 because "This? conflict" points back to the "war" in the previous sentence. [etc...] #??? #??? # Critics often contend that most of Orwells animals dont have the intelligence to attempt, much less carry out, a revolution. This deduction, however, assumes strict links between the capacity for rote memorization and free thought, between mental limitations and the inability to actlinks that, as the animals own behavior indicates, dont necessarily exist. Led by three Black Minorca Pullets, the stupid birds make a determined effort to thwart Napoleons plan. Though their revolt is quashed by forceNapoleon starves them into submissionit is an original, concerted effort by non-intellectual animals to bring about change. Colin Ferguson, for example, cites the difficulties that many of the humbler animals have in learning the alphabet and memorizing the rules that govern Animal Farm. When, for example, the pig leader Napoleon tells the hensgenerally considered the farms stupidest creaturesthat he will be confiscating their eggs to sell them, the hens show that they are certainly capable of independent thought and action. It may even have succeeded had the pigs not already had a stranglehold on the farms resources. Given this incompetence, and given that it is the pigs who are the architects of the rebellion against Farmer Jones, it might seem logical to suppose that the other animals cannot think individually and thus would be unable to effect a revolution without the pigs leadership. When the hens heard this, Orwell writes, they raised a terrible outcry&For the first time since the expulsion of Jones, there was something resembling a rebellion.
