"At one end of the big barn, on a sort of raised platform, Major was already ensconced on his bed of straw, under a lantern which hung from a beam. He was twelve years old and had lately grown rather stout, but he was still a majestic-looking pig, with a wise and benevolent appearance in spite of the fact that his tushes had never been cut. Before long the other animals began to arrive and make themselves comfortable after their different fashions. First came the three dogs, Bluebell, Jessie, and Pincher, and then the pigs, who settled down in the straw immediately in front of the platform. The hens perched themselves on the window-sills, the pigeons fluttered up to the rafters, the sheep and cows lay down behind the pigs and began to chew the cud. The two cart-horses, Boxer and Clover, came in together, walking very slowly and setting down their vast hairy hoofs with great care lest there should be some small animal concealed in the straw." (Orwell, Chapter 1) This is where the book starts and the most important message that is said throughout the whole book is in this setting and this gives the reader a visual of how highly respect Old Major was.

I would recommend this novel because it is an interesting read and it opens your eyes about Stalinism and how people "let it happen". The conditions for the animals were good at first but then they began to worsen little by little. "For days at a time the animals had nothing to eat but chaff and mangels. Starvation seemed to stare them in the face" (Orwell, 78). This continued until the animals were used to these conditions. In addition to the animals being in horrible circumstances, they were surpressed with force. "But suddenly the dogs sitting round Napoleon let out deep, menacing growls, and the pigs fell silent and sat down again" (Orwell, 35) Even at first the pig's own kind attempted to protest this change but they were threatened. This book will keep readers on their toes and expand their understanding of communism.

I would interview Clover because she suspects there is something wrong but she does not fully catch on what is happening.
1) Why were you always so suspicious of the pigs?
-I want to know what made her doubt the "smartest" animals on the farm and not fall in line like everyone else.
2) How did you not realize that life was just a brutal when humans were running the farm?
-Life on the farm for the animals became horrible (maybe even worse than when humans ran the farm) and no animals noticed it.
3) Why did you not fight for Boxer's life when the pigs sent him to the knackers?
-Boxer was one of her closest friends and she just gave up on investigating his death
4) Although Napoleon had threatening forces, wy did you not gather the animals on the farm to overthrow him?
-The way Napoleon was ruling was exactly how Jones was and if the animals rebelled against Jones then why couldn't they rebel against Napoleon?
5) What happened to your children?
- She gave birth to 2 horses but they just disappeared from her life and she was not affected.

"He walked heavily round the shed, looked closely at every detail of the plans and snuffed at them once or twice, then stood for a little while contemplating them out of the corner of his eye; then suddenly he lifted his leg, urinated over the plans, and walked out without uttering a word."
Napoleon was Snowball's biggest "hater" and wanted to manipulate his plans.

I highly recommend this book because it is a good read and the events that occur throughout the book keep the readers wanting to read more and it sends a very strong message.

The animals (other than the pigs and the dogs) are frightened of humans because they were mistreated in the past by one.

For the song list I chose Benjamin. He is very negative and mysterious at the same time.
1) You Don't Own Me
- I chose this song because Ben does not do anything he doesn't want to and he does things his own way.
2) It's the End of the World as We Know It
-this song represents his attitude toward the world. He always says life goes on as it does no matter what. That the grass isn't greener on the other side.
3) Everybody Needs a Best Friend
- Boxer is Benjamins closest friend. He is bitter towards everyone else but Ben dotes on Boxer.

The resolution in Animal Farm is when the pigs turn into humans and the humans turn into pigs and the animals realize that there is no difference between their world now and how it was then.

In Animal Farm, George Orwell writes on page 24, "The animals were happy as they had never conceived it possible to be. Every mouthful of food was an acute positive pleasure, now that it was truly their own food, produced by themselves and for themselves, not doled out to them by a grudging master." I love this quote because it captures the animal's passion for their freedom.

There are multiple protagonists in the book. They are the animals that are being mistreated. It is everyone except for the pigs and the dogs.
They are in favor of a republic and believe all animals are equal and that humans are evil where the antagonist (Napoleon) is against all of these beliefs.

Animal farm reminds me of the novel Gone. Once the central power is removed, the republic take over but it quickly becomes a dictatorship.

Animal Farm is told in a third person point of view because it is impersonal and unbiased. The narrator is just telling the story as how it happened.

The lesson of this book is to show people that greed and corruption always surfaces no matter what that group's or person's intention was originally.

To Clover and Benjamin,
WHY DID YOU NOT OVERTHROW NAPOLEON?!?!?!?!?!?!? He took your closest friend to his death and all you guys did was sit and continued to be mistreated. Even after your knowledge of the pigs altering the laws, you guys still obeyed him. With all the other animals on the farm you could've easily destroyed his vicious system. Hopefully one day the animals will come to their senses and realize but until then, shame on you.
-An outraged reader

Instead of the animals walking away from the window, they should burst inside the house and overthrow the humans and the pigs.

Metaphor: On page 34, from Animal Farm. "Four legs" refers to all animals and "two legs" refers to all humans.
Simile: "All that year the animals worked like slaves."
This is an example of a simile in Animal Farm, on page 76, where the author compares the work of the animals to slaves to give the animals character, and so that the reader can more easily understand the type of work the animals are doing
Hyperbole: "He had been a hard worker even in Jone's time, but now he seemed more like three horses than one; there were days when the entire work of the farm rested on his mighty shoulders." All of the work can't be on one animal only.

The setting is on a farm in England surrounded by other farms. It is in the country and some of the property is overgrown. It has all kind of animals.

There are many different opinions as to what the climax is. I believe that the climax occured when Napoleon chased Snowball off the farm with the vicious dogs. It was unexpected and readers came to see what Napoleon had up his sleeve.

George Orwell has written 14 books overall. Some of the most memorable reads are Down and Out in Paris and London, Keep the Aspidistra Flying, Homage to Catalonia, 1984, and, of course, Animal Farm. His style is to take real world issues and to paint the irony or message using intricate details and stories. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union.

Below is a picture of the main antagonist. The boar is Napoleon and he controls the farm. He suppressed the idea that there was a republic and treated animals other than dogs and pigs poorly. Napoleon would feed the other animals barely enough and made them work from dawn to dusk. He rewrote laws so he could practice human ways without the animals being outraged. He used dogs to enforce laws with animals who tried to speak their minds.

The book begins with the background Mr. Jones, a drunk and abusive farmer, who owns a farm, labeled Manor Farm, which he stumbles and staggers drunkenly around each night. He forgets to complete simple tasks such as close the hen houses or feed the animals. As soon as he's asleep, the farm comes to life. All the animals big and small hear that Old Major, a highly respected boar, had a vision of the future and he wishes to share it with his fellow comrades. They decide to congregate in the barn loft and once the animals are settled, he describes a very free and enticing world where animals, not humans are running farms. The main conflict is the maltreatment Jones shows to the animals.
