"in your hands lie your destination" what does this mean

basically it is saying that you are going to end up where YOU take yourself. its up to you where you will go

you could say to someone that youd like to have a huge mansion by next year and they could reply " in you hands lie your destination"

you will go wherever you take yourself.

I think it means that it's your choice of where you want to go. Like what you want to do in your life. Or the decisions you make that changes the "road" your on.

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.
