         <description><![CDATA[<ul><li><p><strong>Summary-</strong> In Animal Farm, George Orwell writes about a group of animals being mistreated by their owner, Mr Jones. One of the pigs, Old Major, calls an assembly in the barn and talks of how mistreated they are, and how if they led themselves, they would have a better life. This speech leads to a rebellion, which drives Jones out of the farm and leaves the animals alone to lead themselves. The pigs appoint themselves as the leaders, saying that they are the smartest, so they are the best fit to lead. After coming up with a set of rules, the two main leaders, Snowball and Napolean, come to a disagreement regarding whether or not they should build a windmill. Snowball agrees, while Napolean disagrees. While the animals are having a discussion on whether or not to build it, Napolean's dogs chase Snowball out of the farm, leaving Napolean as the only leader. Once Napolean is left alone, animal farm changes drastically. Suddenly, Napolean is on board with the windmill. He manipulates the animals into thinking that he was on board with the windmill the entire time, and they all begin constructing. When the windmill is partly constructed, a violent storm comes and knocks it over. The animals are heartbroken, but quickly start rebuilding. Shortly after the windmill topples over, Napolean starts talking about how Snowball was the bad guy, and was on Jones side the whole time. He says that all the bad things happening to the animals are Snowball's doing, and the animals believe him. Suddenly, animals come forward and confess affiliating with Snowball, and they get killed on the spot, scaring the animals. After a while, Napolean starts breaking the 7 commandments, but has Squealer change the commandments in the night so none of the animals find out. However, even after catching him in the act, the animals don't understand still. As time passes on, more and more of the commandments get changed, and the animals get manipulated more and more, until even they can't tell the difference between the pigs and humans.</p></li></ul>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Theme-</strong> Propaganda, manipulation, government corruption.</p><p><strong>Explanation-</strong> Animal Farm reflects what can happen when the wrong people come to power. It illustrates how a government can become corrupt and manipulate its citizens without them even realizing it. </p><p><strong>Textual Evidence-</strong> "About this time, there occurred a strange incident which hardly anyone was able to understand. One night at about twelve o'clock, there was a loud crash in the yard, and the animals rushed out of their stalls. It was a moonlit night. At the foot of the end wall of the big barn, where the Seven Commandments were written, there lay a ladder broken in two pieces. Squealer, temporarily stunned, was sprawling beside it, and near at hand there lay a lantern, a paintbrush, and an overturned pot of white paint." (George Orwell, p. 108)</p><p><strong>Explanation: </strong>This scene shows Squealer, Napoleon's right-hand man, changing the commandments in the middle of the night. Once the animals see him, they never understand what really happened and assume that it was all a mistake. They think this way as a result of the manipulation they have received from Napoleon.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>L'Internationale relates to the song "Beasts of England".</p><p>" L'Internationale" is an anthem that the Soviet Union sang to motivate people to rebel against the capitalist society they were in, so that a communist society could be built. However, Joseph Stalin soon replaced this with a different anthem to promote nationalism instead, much like how Napoleon banned "Beast's of England" from the animals. Even though Stalin attempted to replace "L'Internationale", it remained as an anthem for the communist party.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This clip is from the animated Animal Farm movie. It shows Old Major's speech, which he makes to the animals about the rebellion, not knowing the misfortune and tyranny that is to come. However, this scene is different from the book because Old Major dies directly after his speech, leaving the animals to plan and execute the revolution on their own.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This poem by Carl Sandburg talks about watching different aspects of the government and seeing how unfairly the government treats its people. It talks about how the government will go around forcing people to work and unfairly punishing people. This poem connects to Animal Farm because Napoleon was doing similar things while he was in charge; forcing the animals to work all day, every day, punishing animals for coming forward and confessing, and also for rebelling. This poem shows how people can be manipulated into blindly following an unfair government and not realize they're in a bad situation until it's too late.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This scene from the Fahrenheit 451 movie shows the way that humans depend on television in this dystopian future. It also helps deepen the understanding from the book that the television in Fahrenheit 451 is used to control the people by the government. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Animal Farm and Fahrenheit 451 both share themes of government control, manipulation propaganda. Both of these novels show what can happen when a government becomes corrupt. It shows how people will blindly follow whoever's in charge, and how the government can easily exploit this. These novels teach us that we need to be careful who we trust and not be fooled by someone just because they're in power over us.</p>]]></description>
