 * Character/event/thing || Pictures || What it symbolized for Orwell || what it symbolized for me ||
 * Rats and Rabbits || [[image:http://animal.discovery.com/mammals/rabbit/pictures/rabbit-picture.jpg width="247" height="180"]] || beggars, theifs, and gypsies are what the rats and rabbits represent. Also they are not considered comrades like the other animals. They are the only wild animals on the farm.

The rats and rabbits are the wild animals that live on the farm. The seem to represent beggars, thieves and gypsies. During the first animal meeting, a vote is taken on whether or not these creatures should be considered as 'comrades'. It is decided that they should be included as 'animals'. || For me I think the wild animals mean that they were poor people in society and were not treated like they were important. They may be the people that we shun in our society. The people may not be bad but our assumptions can take over and make it seem as though they are the lower part of the average life.

Also they make me think of some of the scary people downtown. Some make me feel like... wow they are scary and they don't act like an average human so they are not welcome in society. ||
 * drinking of Alcohol || [[image:http://www.terawarner.com/istockimages/woman_drinking_water.jpg width="248" height="128"]] || Even though the animals stated in the commandments that no animal should drink alcohol the pigs later in the novel did. For Orwell he believe that the drinking of alcohol is a metaphor for the intoxicating effects of power

After the revolution it is decided that animals should never again consume alcohol. After a short time, the pigs ignored began to break this cardinal rule. This is a metaphor for the intoxicating effects of power. || This relates to the people of power in our society that are power hungry. Sometimes people will even kill for power and when you drink alcohol you are intoxicated and can do stupid things like people with power do.

Also this makes me think of alcoholics who messed up their lives, but are trying to turn it around. I think the only reason i think of this is because it involves alcohol but that is what i think. ||
 * Selling of the Wood the Fredrick || [[image:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Taxus_wood.jpg/300px-Taxus_wood.jpg width="237" height="259"]] || For Orwell the selling of the wood to Fredrick represented the Nazi- Soviet pack during WWII || For me it represented the way people can be wishy-washy and say no ill never do that but then go ahead and do it. This kind of reminds me of my sisters. ||
 * Squealer || [[image:http://www.morningstarcomm.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/newspaper_bw_1302514860243.jpg width="233" height="192"]] || For Orwell Squealer was used to represent the Russian media which spread false truth around.

This pig represents the Russian media, which spread Stalin's version of the truth to the masses. || For me Squealer represented a rumor weed. He spread lies with a little truth mixed in but never really told the whole truth. Also he could make people believe anything which makes me think he is even more powerful then Napoleon. To me Napoleon just uses Squealer for his dirty work. ||
 * Animal Farm the Book || [[image:http://www.pamphletpress.org/images/film/animal_farm.jpg]] || For Orwell the book represented Russian Revolution, what Orwell believes will happen to any society because of power hungry people. Rich to Poor || For me it represented Newspaper club on the 13th of October. This is because everyone was complaining and yelling. I felt like I had no say and that if __didn't get__ __way__ would still not drop the subject.... ||

Thought Questions
Question 1: why did the animals never run away with Moses? Answer: I think they never ran away with Moses to Sugar Candy Mountain because they were afraid of what Napoleon would do to them if they ran away. Also they were not smart enough to decided what to do for them self

Question 8: How were they able to inhabit the farm house without little fuss? Answer: This is because they changed the constitution in the night when the animals couldn't see or remember the original ones. Also they had power and if you didn't let the pigs do what they wanted they would kill you.

Question 9: why didn't the animals complain about the pigs waking up one hour later then everyone else? Answer: The other animals didn't complain because the pigs had the power and if they were sleepy they wouldn't make the decisions that were correct and the animals were afraid of making their own decisions.

Question 10: How did Napoleon know Snowball destroyed the windmill? Answer: He didn't know this for sure put he wanted to blame it on someone but it is a good guess because Snowball was the creator of the windmill plans so he knew how to build and destroy the windmill.

Question 11: Clover thinks the farm was better then Jones during hard times why? Answer: This is because she could exactly remember the time when Jones was in power so she was determined to believe it was better then what it was then. She is very optimistic.
