This eventually lead to both of their deaths
The Censors - " And just as naturally, he couldn’t stop
them from executing him the following morning, another victim of
his devotion to his work." (Valenzuela line 93-96)
Animal Farm - "I will work harder"; "" 'Alfred Simmonds, Horse Slaughterer and Glue Boiler, Willingdon. Dealer
in Hides and Bone-Meal. Kennels Supplied.' Do you not understand what that
means? They are taking Boxer to the knacker's!""]]> 2017-03-13 13:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_lopez/pkvyd8cw4xsz/wish/159657422 The Censors/Animal Farm 2018873 https://padlet.com/lauren_lopez/pkvyd8cw4xsz/wish/159657486 "And that’s why Juan’s so down in the dumps: thinking
that something might happen to Mariana because of his letters" (Valenuela, 90)
When Juan was negative, his character traits imply that he may be Mr. Jones who's very negative and mean. Both Juan and Mr. Jones are mean and negative like Oscar the Grouch.

"But he knows that the Censor’s Secret Command operates all over the world and cashes in on the discount in air rates; there’s nothing to stop them from going as far as that hidden Paris neighborhood, kidnapping Mariana, and returning to their cozy homes, certain of having fulfilled their noble mission." (Valenuela, 91)
This crisis when Marina was kidnapped had a similar problem to Chapter 6 of Animal Farm during Snowball's vandalism: theft of corn, spilling the milk-pails, breaking the eggs, trampled the seedbeds and eating the bark off the fruit trees.]]> 2017-03-13 13:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_lopez/pkvyd8cw4xsz/wish/159657486 Krishna https://padlet.com/lauren_lopez/pkvyd8cw4xsz/wish/159657490 "Poor Juan! One day they caught him with his guard down before he could even realize that what he had taken as a stroke of luck was on of fate's dirty tricks." (Valenzuela 89) - The Censors

This reminds me of how Squealer in Animal Farm tricked Boxer in to going to the hospital when he was heading to the glue factory to be slaughtered.

"Quick, quick!" he shouted. "Come at once! They're taking Boxer away!" Without waiting for orders from the pig, the animals broke off work and raced back to the farm buildings. Sure enough, there in the yard was a large closed van, drawn by two horses, with lettering on its side and a sly-looking man in a low-crowned bowler hat sitting on the driver's seat. And Boxer's stall was empty.

The animals crowded round the van. "Good-bye, Boxer!" they chorused, "good-bye!"

"Fools! Fools!" shouted Benjamin, prancing round them and stamping the earth with his small hoofs. "Fools! Do you not see what is written on the side of that van?"
(Orwell 121 - 122)

"After work, one of them tried to organize a strike to demand higher wages for unhealthy work, but Juan didn’t join in; after thinking it over, he reported him to his superiors and thus got promoted." (Valenzuela 90)

"'Comrades,' he said quietly, 'do you know who is responsible for this? Do you know the enemy who has come in the night and overthrown our windmill? SNOWBALL!' he suddenly roared in a voice of thunder." (Orwell 70)-- This shows that Napoleon wanted the other animals to hate Snowball and so he blamed the whole thing on Snowball. ]]> 2017-03-13 13:16:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_lopez/pkvyd8cw4xsz/wish/159657566 Nicole 2025095 https://padlet.com/lauren_lopez/pkvyd8cw4xsz/wish/159657614 Napoleon and Juan are similar because they both want something but they mess it up. Napoleon wanted another rebellion and rebellions aren't a good thing to want. They can hurt people/animals and Juan got killed because he just wanted to send a letter to Mariana.

"And just as naturally, he couldn’t stop
them from executing him the following morning, another victim of
his devotion to his work." (Valenzuela Lines 93-96)

"He too, he said, was happy that the period of misunderstanding was at an end. ...They had been credited with attempting to stir up rebellion among the animals on neighboring farms."

"... certain of having fulfilled their noble mission." (Valenzuela, 2)
- The government's mission was to check all the letters and fulfill "noble" mission

"Animal Farm"
"Only get rid of Man..." (Orwell 9)
- The animals mission was to kill all humans in the beginning of the book as their "noble" mission as well.

Juan and Napoleon are also alike because Napoleon has power and will do what ever it takes to keep it. Juan can finally send his letter to his love and will do anything to keep that access to the censors.]]> 2017-03-13 13:18:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_lopez/pkvyd8cw4xsz/wish/159658384 Javon 2028170 https://padlet.com/lauren_lopez/pkvyd8cw4xsz/wish/159658985 Boxer and juan are similar because they both die somewhere near the end of the story or book.]]> 2017-03-13 13:19:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_lopez/pkvyd8cw4xsz/wish/159658985
