My Words - For Orwell Leo Trotsky is Snowball. Trotsky was one of the first revolutionaries. He was expelled and later executed.
Snowball represents Leo Trotsky. Trotsky was one of the original revolutionaries. But as Stalin rose to power he became one of Stalin's biggest enemies, and was eventually expelled from the Politburo in 1925 - one year after Stalin took control of the nation. In the novel, Snowball was exiled from the farm just as Trotsky had been in 1929. But Trotsky was not only exiled in body, he was also exiled from the minds of the Russian people - His historical role was altered; his face cut out of group photographs of the leaders of the revolution. In Russia he was denounced as a traitor and conspirator and in 1940 a Stalinist agent assassinated him in Mexico City.
George Washington - because England blamed its problems on him and he led the revolution for America to rebel.
When Napoleon came and Slaughtered the animals.
My Words - Any one who rebelled was killed.
The Purges of 1936-38: - (Ch 7) "Napoleon stood sternly surveying his audience; then he uttered a high-pitched whimper. Immediately the dogs bounded forward, seized four of the pigs by the ear and dragged them, squealing with pain and terror, to Napoleon's feet...."
The Boston Massacre - because people who were doing just what they believed were right were executed just because of what they thought.
Beast's of England
My Words - It was an idea that helped the population continue on even in hard times.
The song 'Beasts of England' is a metaphor for the ideology of Communism. In the novel it is said that the song spread throughout the countryside - just as belief in the communist system spread throughout all of the labor unions in the world. In many democratic countries (including the U.S.), socialist parties began to grow and socialists politicians began winning seats in legislatures.
Star Spangled Banner - because it's a song that was sung when the Americans were rebelling for freedom.
Mollie
My words - Mollie is the rich people who think they can do whatever they want.
Mollie seems to be some sort of representation of Russia's upper classes. But, since Orwell portrays her as a horse - the same animal used to represent the 'working class' horses Boxer & Clover - Mollie may simply represent members of the working class that remained faithful to the Czar. In either case, Mollie was never really in favor of the revolution. She went along with it, but she didn't actually engage in the fighting. Mollie didn't mind being a 'servant' to the humans, since she was constantly being pampered by them. After the revolution, Mollie begins to miss the beautiful ribbons (fine clothes) and sugar cane (fine food) she used to receive from her human masters. She eventually flees the animal farm to live elsewhere in Willing don.
I think these are the celebrities of our days, they live in a world where they think they get everything for doing nothing.
Hens
My words - The hens are considered low,low class. They have no titles or money, they tried rebelling in subtle ways.
Peasant Farmers. In Chapter seven, Napoleon calls for the hens to 'surrender their eggs'. This is a reference to Stalin's attempt to collectivize the peasant farmers of Russia. The hens attempted to resist the order at first, just as the peasant farmers of the Ukraine. But, just as in real life, they were eventually starved into submission. In the book, 9 hens died during the incident. In real-life, it is estimated that somewhere between 4 and 10 million Ukrainian peasants were starved to death by Stalin. In the book, it was also said that the Hens smashed their own eggs to protest Napoleon's actions. In real-life, Ukrainian farmers would slaughter their own livestock before joining a collective as a form of protest. So many farmers engaged in this practice, that livestock in the Ukraine dwindled by 50%-80% between 1928 and 1935. The problem got so out of hand that Stalin eventually executed any farmer found guilty of engaging in this practice. Even the act of 'neglecting' your livestock was punishable by death.
Hippies - because they don't conform but they also don't openly rebel. They do it somewhat undercover.
Animal Farm
Russian Revolution, what Orwell believes will happen to any society because of power hungry people will divide society into 2 classes, rich and poor.
To me, Animal Farm represents my English class.

Snowball- Mrs. Kaleena
Chapters 1 and 2 1.)The animals are behaving like animals because they are staying in there same species type and huddling together, but they act like humans because they talk about equality like how one of the dead presidents said "all men are created equal" or in this case animals are created equal the could read and write, they sang, and
2.)The impact of the speech was that all the animals were ready to start the revolution, they felt mistreated and they were ready to embrace their new life.
3.)The assumption is that all men are born bad but all animals are good.
4.)The animals are thought that the pigs were the cleverest animals because the pigs were the best readers and writers.
5.)The ribbons represent that the horse is property.
6.)The rebellion was unplanned so the animals caught the humans by surprise. At first they were really happy, jumping around and all that. after that they ran around destroying all evidence of human control.
7.)
THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS
1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
3. No animal shall wear clothes.
4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.
5. No animal shall drink alcohol.
6. No animal shall kill any other animal.
7. All animals are equal.
These show that the animals are stereotyping all the humans, that all of them mistreat animals. They're also saying that all the animals are for the same cause.
8.)The relationship between Marxism and animal ism is that everything that is owned is shared between all.
9.)The farm is considered Utopia for the animals because they are treated fairly get all the food they need and aren't whipped or killed. They might not have rebelled if Farmer Jones was a better person and owner.
Chapters 3 and 4
1.)They worked together to farm the harvest for more hay than ever before in less time than Jones and his men.
2.)The flag was green which represented England and the horn represented how the animals would one day take over the inferior human race.
3.)They were always active in the society but were never in agreement, if one had and idea the other would oppose it.
4.)A good propaganda technique is to spread the a short slogan or quote of one's own belief. in this case " 4 legs good, 2 legs bad".
5.)The pigs had their own study, they got the milk, the apples, and were considered first class compared to the other animals,they talk about how smart they are.
6.)Squealer said " We are doing this for you. We eat the apples and drink the milk for your good, not ours." The pigs act as like their going to HUGE trouble to eat apples and milk, like the other animals don't deserve it but they do.
7.)In the rebellion the animals attacked like 3 humans, but in the battle a lot of people came and attacked some animals, their were guns in the battle but not in the rebellion.
8.)Snowball was all arrogant, thinking that he deserved nothing less. Boxer was sorrowful, he thought he was be celebrated for doing the wrong thing, he thought he shouldn't be rewarded for killing someone.
9.)The animals rebelled because they were treated like second class citizens, but ironically under the pigs control the are once again treated like second class citizens.
Key Words
1.)4 legs good 2 legs bad
2.)The only good human is a dead one
3.)Propaganda
4.)Allegory
Feelings
1.)Boxer was sorrowful because he killed someone
2.)Snowball thought all was well, even though a human had died and the pigs were taking control.
Reading Chapter 3 and 4
Main Idea
1.)The Rebellion
2.)The pigs get all the animals to support them as
leaders but they are just dictators.
Structure
1.)Allegory
2.)Propaganda
3.)Fable
Images/Symbols
1.) The animal farm flag represents the U.S.S.R. communist flag.
2.)Squealer represents the Russian Media.
Chapters 5 and 6
1.)Mollie is rejected because she doesn't work, yet takes a portion she doesn't deserve. She allowed a man to pet her and give her ribbons.
2.)What happens between Snowball and Napoleon over the windmill was Snowball wants to build a windmill to better improve the life on the farm, but Napoleon thinks that the animals should attend to their current needs not the distant future.
3.)Some similarities between Jone's rules and Napoleon's rules are they both want to make all the decisions on the farm and want all the profit from their goods. Differences could include The way that they view things
4.)Napoleon tells everyone what to do, he controls everyone he wants everyone to be loyal to him.
5.)Squealer says that Napoleon is doing everyone a favor, he's telling everyone that any who oppose him are traitors and criminals.
6.)Boxer's motto shapes his character by working him towards his goal. He wants to do whats best even if that means all he has.
7.)He said that they had made it better and it was because of them it was being built.
8.)Napoleon has everyone believing any who don't follow him is a traitor. He uses Snowball as an example.
9.)He uses tactics to win everyone onto his side. He scares them into think Jones is coming back, that he makes all the good things happen and punish any who oppose.
Chapter 7 and 8
1.)Napoleon makes everything seem fine by filling the grain and corn barrels with sand and putting the rest of the food on top to make it seem like there is plenty of food. Napoleon tells the sheep to spread rumors to make him look good.
2.)Napoleon takes away the hens' rations. This puts the hens back in line because of their need of food. Even so, nine hens died.
3.)The memory is used to keep the animals in line by saying that Snowball is terrorizing us and causing us to suffer. Napoleon and Squealer say that Snowball comes in and takes food, damages property, attacks homes and gardens, and destroys work that they had done. This keeps the animals on Napoleon's side. It convinces the animals that the economy and roughness and toil on the farm is because of Snowball.
4.)This shows that Napoleon thinks that he can do whatever he wants and not get in trouble. This also shows that Napoleon has a great power and that it strikes fear into the other animals. Napoleon did this to show that any animal who betrays him will be killed on the spot.
5.)Clover sings "Beasts of England" because it is a song she knows. She also sings it because she doesn't know how else to express the sadness and thoughts that she has in her head. This reveals that Clover is emotional and sad by what has happened and by what she thought the future could hold when Old Major delivered his speech.
6.)Napoleon's reason for abolishing the song "Beasts of England" was that the Rebellion was now totally completed because all traitors and all loyalties to Jones were gone. The true reason is that he doesn't want anything from the past to stand in his way. He wants to be the one to make all the rules and to be famous. "Beasts of England" was a song connected to Old Major. Napoleon wants everything to be connected to him.
7.)Some examples of Napoleon systematically lying to the animals is that he said that he had never considered trading with Frederick. Also he says that every bad deed that happens on the farm is Snowball's fault. Another lye is that Napoleon keeps having the animals minds in a whirl by saying that this farm is bad, and then saying that that same farm is good and the other farm is bad. He does this three or four times. Lastly, he keeps saying that Snowball is on one farm, and then saying that he is on the other farm.
8.)The poem "Comrade Napoleon" makes Napoleon seem like a nice guy who only looks after others. It also says that Napoleon wants to help other animals break free. Another thing it says is that Napoleon loves the other animals and cares so much about them.
9.) The Battle of the Windmill was much more intense. Many animals were killed and many were injured. The windmill was destroyed and the foundation was destroyed. This was an attack by Frederick and his men In the Battle of the Cowshed, only one animal died and nothing was destroyed. This was an attack by Jones and other people he convinced. In the Rebellion, the animals won freedom and nobody was killed. This was an attack led by the animals themselves.
Chapters 9 and 10
1.)It was supposed to celebrate the struggles and triumphs of Animal Farm, but instead it was a way of keeping the animals quiet when the pigs were changing everything.
2.)He made the animals believe there was something great waiting for them but the animals thought it wasn't true so Napoleon allowed Moses to stay so the animals would be "grateful" .
3.) Boxer is admired because he works hard and never gives up. He was sent away and slaughtered when he was injured. The pigs said that he was sent to a hospital and couldn't be saved, but squealer said that he died weak and it was unfortunate that they couldn't bring his remains back.
4.) In the story the knacker means to be slaughtered , but it most likely symbolizes a prison or death sentence.
5.) Upper class, the pigs and the dogs who are considered smarter and scarier. The others(second class) all the other animals because they aren't considered as equal as the others.
Thought Questions for Animal Farm
1.)The animals didn't run away because they had worked so hard for the farm. They didn't want to leave when the going got hard. They thought things were going to get better if they tried harder. It was prompted by like a messed up neigh.
2.)The significance of the "Beasts Of England" is a metaphor for communism. It helped inspire the animals to rebel. It taught them of a different time, a better time, one where they would come together to create a closer community.
3.)Their resentment vanished because they were living their dreams, what they always wanted. They were working under themselves not for someone else. They no longer answered to the man, so it didn't matter that the animals worked harder and got less food.
4.)He is against the windmill because it wasn't his idea. He changed it because he wanted credit for it. With snowball gone he could build with his ego intact and the animals were inspired how he was trying to protect them from snowball.
5.)The dogs were ordered to attack because they were under Napoleons rule. They took the orders because they were trained to follow the masters word, in this case to attack snowball. No one stepped in because they were afraid of the dogs and of Napoleon.
6.)They were saying that Napoleon was the smartest and made the best decisions. That the animals made a decision it would go wrong and the farm would fail. Once the farm failed Jones would come back and the animals didn't want that so they did what Napoleon said. The philosophy of the propaganda was Jones will come back.
7.)When a leader has more access to information they shouldn't make all the decisions without impute from the group. They should tell other members what's going on so they to can make informed decisions. If the leader make a sole decision he could be choosing wrong and be corrupted , therefore ruining utopia so he should have advisers.
8.)They accomplished this with cleverness and lying. The changed the commandment without telling anyone then said it had always been like that. They said that they deserved it, they'd been working so hard as if the other animals hadn't, so they lied to get what they want at the animals expense.
9.) None complained because they figured that the animals were so much smarter that they were doing it for the good of the animals. The pigs said that they were doing paperwork and it was so much harder than normal work and they needed more sleep.
10.)Napoleon "knew" that Snowball had destroyed the windmill because snowball had always been an "enemy". It was obvious because napoleon had chased snowball out and wanted revenge. So he took it by destroying the windmill, which is the animals greatest accomplishment. Napoleon said there were pig tracks and he could smell Snowball.
11.) Their better because they think their there own master. They think there better off because the think they can do what the want. Their in a dictatorship when they think their in a democracy.
12.) Boxer works so hard because he can't not work. He is a very driven animals even if its for the wrong thing he still works as hard as he can.
13.)At first they thought they had a Utopia, they thought everyone was equal. Then the leaders got power hungry and changed things to fit their idea of good. The animals didn't want to rebel because they still thought all was good when everything was falling apart.
