On page 99, Marta tells Esperanza, ‘Just so you know, this isn’t Mexico. No one will be waiting on you here.’ What does she mean?

normally working animals are domesticated and ruled by a master, a domesticator (tamer), to perform basic and important functions on a farm, for example. the value used in this context is animal labor in exchange for food. it is not so much a contrast to the story told by napoleon and the pigs, since the animals of that particular farm also performed functions on the farm through domestication. the only thing is that in this case, who rules them is a pig, also an animal, but very respected, to whom the other animals lent him submission. that's about a strong relationship of dependency between animal and owner.

if i was falling raindrop:

1. land safely (pretty sure that’s a tough one)

2. wished that time slowed down

3. a beautiful ending

the characters are fiction but they are based off of people that were reaky in that situation
