    1. Why does Mollie run away from the farm? (Mollie likes being admired, admiring herself, wearing pretty ribbons, eatingsugar, and being stroked by humans. She does not like the work on the farm or the hardships she faces there.)

      This is a good paragraph.

    2. What further examples of the difference between the pigs and the other animals occur in these two chapters? (The pigsonly direct and supervise; they do no actual work. No one but the pigs puts forth any resolutions at the meetings.Napoleon and Snowball disagree over everything. The harness-room is set aside as the pigs’ headquarters. Snowball busieshimself forming committees to solve real and imagined problems. The pigs try to teach the other animals how to read andwrite, with unsatisfactory results. The apples are se aside for the pigs’ use only.)

      This is a really good problem for students to work with.

    3. What changes have the years brought to the farm? (Most of the animals who were alive during the Rebellion are dead.The farm is now prosperous. Other animals have been bought to replace the dead ones. The windmill has been finished,but instead of generating electricity to help all the animals, it is used for milling corn to make money for the pigs.Napoleon tells the animals that the truest happiness “lay in working hard and living frugally.” And they do that.)

      These words are simple and a little bit boring.

    1. go there now to switch my clothes. Exchange my father's old leather jacket for a fine wool coat that always seems too tight in the shoulders. Leave my soft, worn hunting boots for a pair of expensive machine-made shoes that my mother thinks are more appropriate for someone of my status. I've already stowed my bow and arrows in a hollow log in the woods. Although time is ticking away, I allow myself a few minutes to sit in the kitchen. It has an abandoned quality with no fire on the hearth, no cloth on the table. I mourn my old life here. We barely scraped by, but I knew where I fit in, I knew what my place was in the tightly interwoven fabric that was our life. I wish I could go back to it because, inretrospect, it seems so secure compared with now, when I am so rich and so famous and so hated by the authorities in the Capitol.

      This paragraph is quite fabulous.

    1. uzzy Logic (FL) is a method of reasoning that resembles human reasoning.The approach of FL imitates the way of decision making in humansthat involves all intermediate possibilities between digital values YES and NO.The conventional logic block that a computer can understand takes precise input and producesa definite output as TRUE or FALSE, which is equivalent to human’s YES or NO. The inventor of fuzzy logic, Lotfi Zadeh, observed that unlike computers, the human decision making includes a range of possibilities between YES and NO, such as

      This wont be easy for students to understand, and the sentences are boring.

    1. Section 0.4.1 (after the list of rhymes) makes the point that many of the ürhymes are revealed by the type of initial consonant. Following row 5 initials (j, q, x), u is always pronounced the same as ü; following any other initial, it is pronounced [oo]. This results in distinct pronunciations (with any particular tone) for: zhu/ju, chu/qu, and shu/xu, but similar pronunciations for pu, fu, du, ku, and hu. However, the sound [ü] also occurs after the initials n and l, as well as those of row 5. In these cases, ü may contrast with u, and the difference has to be shown on the vowel, not on the initial. Examples include: lù ‘road’ versus lü`‘green’; nuˇ ‘crossbow’ versus nüˇ ‘female’. In addition to being a core vowel, ü also occurs as a medial. Again, when it follows row 5 initials, it is written as u: jué, quē, xuě; but following l or n, it is written as ü: lüèzì ‘abbreviation’; nüèji‘malaria’. In the latter cases, it is redundant, since there is no contrast between üe and ue

      This paragraph is a little bit poor.

      Hard problems.

    1. American authors still faced steep odds in seeing their works into print, and American literary publishing did not flourish until the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 allowed the reliably consistent shipment of individuals and goods across the country. Additional technological improvements, including the widespread adoption of steam-powered machinery and gas-fueled lights, also provide the necessary conditions for the rapid production of printed materials and the means by which these materials could be enjoyed at the conclusion of a day of laboring. Thus, only when the Industrial Age expands the definition of leisure do Americans begin to embrace the culture of print and expand the boundaries of American literature.

      Very interesting history.
