Discuss the phsychological basis for how Squealer managed to convince the animals that the things they know to be true were false.

Squealer did a good job using the persuasive appeal of
logic to prove to the animals that what they thought was true was indeed false. Squealer
very carefully used his own voice to convince them as well. For example, the animals
were sure they were not eating as much now as they had when they were with Mr. Jones.
Their stomachs told them so. The crafty Squealer would check his record-keeping books
and sure enough be able to prove by the percentages and the statistics that they were
indeed harvesting much more food.


He also staged scenario
to help the animals minds think something is true. The footprints around the windmill
leading to the other farm made Squealer and Naploeon concoct another story about
Snowball.


Since the animals could never prove the pigs
wrong with evidence, Squealer got away with this.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
