Response:
- The deceleration in pace highlights the reasons for the windmill's demise.
- This reduction in pace builds tension for the audience regarding future events.
- The slowing pace provides insights into the storm and its consequences.
Clarification:
Pacing is a common literary device that authors use, and this was evident in chapter 6 of Animal Farm. It's the first year since Napoleon expelled Snowball from the farm and took control, starting the construction of the Windmill.
However, the windmill collapses one night, and the slower storytelling pace created has added suspense as well as allowed the reader to understand the factors leading to the windmill's destruction, along with details of the storm and its aftermath.
Answer:
The answer is A because he was being too modest.
