Consider the following scenario: One mid-career city council member resigned citing work obligations. Others are weighing the long hours of council business against personal responsibilities before they decide whether to run for re-election next year. For most, working on the council means accepting that their time is worth what amounts to minimum-wage salaries. As City-County Council members continue to feel the tension of juggling elected positions with full-time jobs, some are talking about reviving a politically inconvenient proposal: raising their own pay. As a new city council member, you have decided to write a proposal to the city council that calls for raising the council's base pay from $11,400 per year to $25,000 per year. Be sure to explain your position keeping in mind the best approach to take using the four components of the rhetorical situation (audience, purpose, context, medium) to reach this audience. Keep in mind that the city council is made up of various people with different backgrounds and with different stakes in the outcome. Respond to this question in a well-developed 3-5 paragraph essay.

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.
