End of Novel Reflection by Lyndsay Morrison https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt Made with whimsy en-us 2022-05-04 03:57:04 UTC 2022-05-04 04:54:36 UTC hello@padlet.com Old Major because he died unexpectedly, making it somewhat funny. Also because he was the one who brought all of the story that we could enjoy reading. He started the revolution of the animals. https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169366333 Tyler Owens]]> 2022-05-04 04:16:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169366333 https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169380316 I was hopeful, and full of wonder due to the rebellion but that quickly changed when the pigs took advantage of their power. - Asiel]]> 2022-05-04 04:38:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169380316 kbod8649 https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169380849 My favorite Character was Boxer because he was hard working and had a good amount of character development. - Krishon ]]> 2022-05-04 04:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169380849 Yes https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169381131 I think that the novel had a handful of plotholes or inconsistencies, even though it was, overall, a well-written story. One being that it was never explained how carnivorous animals, like the dogs, were able to get their food. Another is how the animals ever actually rebelled. It's understandable to believe that, since they were brainwashed and scared, they wouldn't; but even after watching boxer die, the pigs violate every commmandment, and the clear, obvious mistreatment they faced; there should have been at least one instance of a struggle (besides the chickens' strike). It just seems hard to belive that, even though the animals were all suspicious, they never actually did anything; even after they clearly proved capable of rebellion and battle. I also disliked the ending, finding it too abrubt and unsatisfying. I would have liked to see the moment of realization when the animals realized that Napoleon was no longer worthy of being a leader. ]]> 2022-05-04 04:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169381131 https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169381175 the location of the farm and the surrounding farm were confusing, along with other mentioned landmarks- danielle]]> 2022-05-04 04:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169381175 Boxer because he is a hard working horse.

Boxer because he was the hardest worker on the farm and thought leaders were always right. Old Major because he was the one who started the rebellion and this whole story. - Ryan Miller]]> 2022-05-04 04:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169382901 https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169382955 Boxer because boxer worked hard without not enough - ikki]]> 2022-05-04 04:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169382955 My opinions and thoughts changed on each of the characters. My perspective on Napoleon changed, figuring out he was a power-hungry pig. As the book continued, I realized how much more cruel Napoleon is. But I feel as if things could have gone much worse if Napoleon wasn't the leader. Napoleon blinded the animals with lies to keep the animals thinking that they are living a good life and that it was much better than the days of Mr. Jones. My respect and emotional thoughts changed for Boxer towards Chapter 9. I respected Boxer more for working harder than anyone else, even though it wasn't as necessary to do. But however, I started to feel bad for Boxer because he worked himself to points where it would injure him. The pigs responded by slaughtering him since he was of no use. https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169383075 Tyler Owens

It seemed no matter how hard he worked, followed, and did what was best for the farm, he was sent off the moment he was no longer useful. -Asiel]]> 2022-05-04 04:43:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169383864 https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169384232 The story could've been a little longer so that there could more time to build the characters more and show more like where Snowball went. - Ryan Miller]]> 2022-05-04 04:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169384232 https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169384289 i liked mollie because even though they were going through  big time of transition, she still focused on herself, even though it wasnt the time to nessecarily-danielle

I felt like it was kind of a let down that it didn't turn out great. Though it was still good because the way the novel progressed had a effect where it just kept getting worse but still had you wondering what was going to happen next. - Krishon ]]> 2022-05-04 04:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169385658 Pigs can't take control of the farm for years. - riana https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169386289 2022-05-04 04:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169386289 https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169386533 I thought boxer would get out and escape from van but he didnt - Ikki]]> 2022-05-04 04:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169386533 https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169386607 I thought maybe characters like Snowball and Boxer would've gotten proper send offs or more build. Instead Boxer just worked too hard and was then captured and killed in the background and Snowball was just forgotten about at that point. - Ryan Miller]]> 2022-05-04 04:46:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169386607 Tyler Owens https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169387227 There have been some confusions and unanswered questions in this short story. As someone said, the dogs are more described as carnivorous animals. Dogs were also explained as one of the smarter animals on the farm. The dogs could have gained control, but instead obeyed Napoleon and the other pigs being potentially a delicious dinner. Why did the intelligent dogs decided to stay obeying Napoleon? Is it because they were given dog treats and received larger quantities of food? I feel as if we could have experienced a first person type of book where we can understand exactly how unintelligent some of the animals are instead of just being described as it. -quandale dingle]]> 2022-05-04 04:47:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169387227 https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169387613 I think the novel should've been longer to allow us more time with the characters like snowball who were cut early -logan]]> 2022-05-04 04:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169387613 Benjamin https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169387702 My favorite character was Benjamin, because I find his skepticism and apathy somewhat relatable and intriguing. And, although he was painted to be a character who felt no loyalty to anyone, still helped the other animals on a number of occasions (Boxer's death, reading the commandments for clover, etc.). However, Benjamin definitely had the ability to help the other animals more and, if he had, would have been a more likeable and popular as a character; however, I think that it adds to his character and represents a very specific type of person: those who have the ability to inact change but hold no real opinion or motivation to do so. Indifference in the face of injustice may be selfish, but it is undoubtedly human.]]> 2022-05-04 04:48:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169387702 Yes https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169389172 In the beginning I thought the book was pro communist. Now I definitely think this book is anti communist.

Communism, in theory, is not wrong, but every leader, politician, and human being on Earth is selfish/greedy on some level. We all have the predisposition to exploit others, and a society centered around trust and honesty will not thrive as long as humanity exists. Also I kind of thought that Snowball was going to exist in the story for longer than he did.]]> 2022-05-04 04:54:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169391929 Boxer https://padlet.com/lyndsaymorrison/2bliu08ti6yldslt/wish/2169392115 Boxer was my favorite because he is a horse and horses are cool. I had a horse in the hit game Red Dead Redemption 2. Horses are hard workers and cool.
