How are glittering generalities used in the novel animal farm?
Glittering Generalities are words that are pretty, but actually mean very little, they are used to make things seem very large and important, when in reality the words mean nothing special! In The Animal Farm, Moses the tame raven talks about a Sugar Candy Mountain, he states “It was situated somewhere up in the sky, a little distance beyond the clouds, Moses said.” This raven uses the method of glittering generalities, to persuade other animals to believe in a fabricated mountain. Moses enlightens the other animals with stories of a wonderful place up in the sky, filled with sugar and candy. ChaCha on!
