Animal Farm by George Orville is a modern day fable that has many important lessons. One great lesson is the danger of rhetoric or the use of language to persuade an audience of a belief or point of view.

she realizes Haven likes him. She tries hard to keep Haven happy‚ leaving Damen and going after her when Haven was upset‚ and I like how the author put that into the book. The book wouldn’t have changed much without that scene‚ so the fact that the author left it tells a lot about Ever as a character. Even though she interacts with Miles a lot less‚ you can still tell she values his friendship. She talks to Miles about how she ‘doesn’t like Damen‚’ and Miles comments on how he hopes Haven knows what
