us not only the full coffee cup, but the empty cup as well after Alicia has

Animal Farm: Comparison Between Book And Movie

Snowball, the wasn't really any evidence that he would try to kill Snowball. In

moments and cope with his emotions without fear of losing anything.
Unlike reading, the pace of the television experience cannot be
controlled by the viewer; he cannot slow down a delightful program or speed up a
dreary one. .....
