Modernist poetry explored the problems that arose from rapid urbanization and industrialization in the late 1800s and early 1900s. which two lines in this excerpt from "the anecdote jar" by wallace stevens reflect the themes of barrenness and emptiness of modern life?

Even though the whole poem could be interpreted as illustrating the process by which industries set in a town and tear nature appart, the most symbolic lines in the poems to represent this themes of barrenness and emptiness of modern life are

It took dominion everywhere.  

The jar was gray and bare.

In the first line we can notice the influence the jar, metaphorically representing industralization, has on its surroundings and in the second line that influence is negatively defined. 'Gray' and 'Bare' refer respectively to barrenness and emptiness, which are, in turn, characteristics of modern lifestyles.

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
