Plot Summary
The nameless protagonist/narrator begins his story by letting the readers know that he was once a nice, average man. He had a pleasant home, was married to a pleasant wife, and had an abiding love for animals. All that was to change, however, when he fell under the influence of demon alcohol. The first symptom of his descent into addiction and eventual madness manifests with his escalating maltreatment of the family pets. The only creature to escape the man's initial wrath is a beloved black cat named Pluto, but one night after a serious bout of heavy drinking, Pluto angers him for some minor infraction, and in a drunken fury, the man seizes the cat, which promptly bites him. The narrator retaliates by cutting out one of the Pluto's eyes.
While the cat's wound eventually heals, the relationship between the man and his pet has been destroyed. Eventually, the narrator, filled with self-loathing, comes to detest the cat as a symbol of his own weakness, and in a moment of further insanity, hangs the poor creature by the neck from a tree beside the house where it's left to perish. Shortly thereafter, the house burns down. While the narrator, his wife, and a servant escape, the only thing left standing is a single blackened interior wall—on which, to his horror, the man sees the image of a cat hanging by a noose around its neck. Thinking to assuage his guilt, the protagonist begins searching out a second black cat to replace Pluto. One night, in a tavern, he eventually finds just such a cat, which accompanies him to the house he now shares with his wife, albeit under greatly reduced circumstances.
Soon enough, the madness—abetted by gin—returns. The narrator begins not only to detest the new cat—which is always underfoot—but to fear it. What remains of his reason keeps him from harming the animal, until the day the man's wife asks him to accompany her on an errand to the cellar. The cat runs ahead, nearly tripping his master on the stairs. The man becomes enraged. He picks up an ax, meaning to murder the animal, but when his wife grabs the handle to stop him, he pivots, killing her with a blow to the head.
Rather than break down with remorse, the man hastily hides his wife's body by walling it up with bricks behind a false facade in the cellar. The cat that's been tormenting him seems to have disappeared. Relieved, he begins to think he's gotten away with his crime and all will finally be well–until the police eventually show up to search the house. They find nothing but as they're headed up the cellar stairs preparing to leave, the narrator stops them, and with false bravado, he boasts how well the house is built, tapping on the wall that's hiding the body of his dead wife. From within comes a sound of unmistakable anguish. Upon hearing the cries, the authorities demolish the false wall, only to find the wife's corpse, and on top of it, the missing cat. "I had walled the monster up within the tomb!" he wails—not realizing that in fact, he and not the cat, is the actual villain of the story.

can someone explain me the theme of animal farm by Goerge Orwell?
Answer:
The grand theme of Animal Farm has to do with the capacity for ordinary individuals to continue to believe in a revolution that has been utterly betrayed. Orwell attempts to reveal how those in power—Napoleon and his fellow pigs—p*rvert the democratic promise of the revolution.
hope its helps
Answer: Animal Farm by George Orwell has tons of themes that you can go into depth about. However, probably the most famous would be "The Corruption of Socialist Ideals in the Soviet Union" which is what the book is based on.
Animal Farm is most famous in the West as a stinging critique of the history and rhetoric of the Russian Revolution. Retelling the story of the emergence and development of Soviet communism in the form of an animal fable, Animal Farm allegorizes the rise to power of the dictator Joseph Stalin. In the novella, the overthrow of the human oppressor Mr. Jones by a democratic coalition of animals quickly gives way to the consolidation of power among the pigs. Much like the Soviet intelligentsia, the pigs establish themselves as the ruling class in the new society.
Stalin’s tyrannical rule and eventual abandonment of the founding principles of the Russian Revolution are represented by the pigs’ turn to violent government and the adoption of human traits and behaviors, the trappings of their original oppressors. Thus, the novella critiques the violence of the Stalinist regime against the human beings it ruled, and also points to Soviet communism’s violence against human logic, language, and ideals.

debate on the topic is cartoon harmful
Cartoons can be harmful, but not always.
A good majority of cartoons are for children 11 and younger, like "Amazing World of Gumball" or, for younger children, "Mickey Mouse"
Some cartoons though display aggressive behavior which may not be best for young children to watch, since young children idolize these cartoons.
Though, cartoons can be harmful in another way. It encourages the children that, as they grow up, they'll spend more time on a computer or watching TV. This can be harmful for their health.

The text message from Ron said he'd be here soon.
Feeling adventurous, we went to the new taco place.
Which are adjective or adverb
Adjective
Adverb
A prepositional phrase contains a preposition and the words that it modifies. The prepositional phrases and their functions in the sentences have been identified as follows:
(Adjective) The recipe book on the kitchen floor got full of grease. (Adverb) Shaun is still sore from yesterday's practice. (Adverb) Before his exam, Joe sharpened two pencils. (Adjective) The bananas in that basket are ripe. (Adjective) The text message from Ron said he'd be here soon. (Adverb) Feeling adventurous, we went to the new taco place.When prepositional phrases modify nouns, they act as adjectives but when they modify verbs they function as adverbs. Adverbs tell us when, how, where, and the manner of an action.
Adjectives provide further descriptions of nouns. In sentence 1 for instance, the prepositional phrase modifies the noun, 'book', therefore, it functions as an adjective.
In the second sentence, the prepositional phrase modifies the verb 'sore'. So, following this pattern, the prepositional phrases have been correctly matched.

Using this as an introduction paragraph:
Sometimes, reading a story is like solving a mystery. Authors often plant clues and hints throughout their stories to lead us to events that will happen later. This is called foreshadowing, and it builds tension. W. W. Jacobs uses the technique of foreshadowing to create suspense in his short story "The Monkey's Paw."
Now - write a body paragraph around your first piece of evidence. Make it clear to the reader that you're providing the evidence to support the claim you just included in the introduction.
(Evidence includes facts from the story in your own words, and also a quote from the story to back up your explanation.)
Format of the first example paragraph:
You might start with a transition: One strong example of foreshadowing in the story occurs when . . . .
Include a quote from the story of the foreshadowing.
Explain what happens as a result of the foreshadowing.
Answer:
“Sounds like the Arabian Nights”?
It talks about the magic genie in Aladdin's lamp, who also grants three wishes. So she is mocking, and not taking this seriously. Maybe foreshadowing about being pure at heart, and his intentions aren’t pure. Wishes of the unwise and evil will lead only to their end, it’s a negative connotation. Thus, this famous reference creates a negative tone and points to the seriousness of tempting ones fate. This also foreshadows the outcome for a foolish wish. Will his wishes be well-planned or impulsive?
Why, we’re going to be rich, famous, and happy.”? Explain.
Dramatic because we are aware and pay attention to the foreshadowing and gravity of the situation whereas the Whites do not.
Verbal, because Herbert does not believe in the power of the paw.
What does this line spoken by Mr. White help you predict?
“It seems to me I’ve got all I want.”
Answer: that the wishes can only change his life for the worse
Which line foreshadows what happens to Herbert?
“I don’t see the money . . . and I bet I never shall.”
Explanation: Well, I don't see the money," said his son, as he picked it up and placed it on the table, "and I bet I never shall." Herbert picked up the paw and said this, and his wish came true since he died. It’s ironic because the reader didn’t expect him to wish for his own death by accident.
