How does the pacing of this passage move the plot
forward?
Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Animal Farm.
Every Monday Mr. Whymper visited the farm as had
been arranged. He was a sly-looking little man with
side whiskers, a solicitor in a very small way of
business, but sharp enough to have realized earlier
than anyone else that Animal Farm would need a
broker and that the commissions would be worth
having. The animals watched his coming and going
with a kind of dread, and avoided him as much as
possible.
O The quick pace makes readers suspenseful and
confused about Mr. Whymper.
O The quick pace allows the author to pass an
uneventful period of time quickly.
The slow pace helps to place emphasis on the
animals' dread of Mr. Whymper.
The slow pace helps develop Mr. Whymper's
character with descriptive details.
