Before his death, he wanted to inspire the farm animals to start a rebellion and rise up from Farmer Jones. After the Old Boar's death, the animals fought the Jones's out of their house, mourned the loss of some of their comrades, and explored all of what was now theirs. They changed the name of the farm from "Manor Farm" to the contemporary "Animal Farm". As the smartest of the species, the pigs made themselves the unspoken leaders of the group, and two pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, were constantly fighting over who would be the farm's leader. During a debate to introduce electricity to the farm, Napoleon eliminates his competition by sending attack dogs at
Snowball, scaring him away from the farm forever. Napoleon then introduced the idea of a windmill that could help reduce work on the farm. Using his power and his comrade Squealer, Napoleon manipulated the farm for the pigs' well being. After the windmill was destroyed by Jones and his men, hard work and determination guides them to rebuild it. After a horse's sad death, the smartest animals started to suspect that they are being scammed by the pigs. The pigs soon announce that they are now alliances of the neighboring farms. On a light night, there was a crash in the farmhouse that woke the animals, and they went to investigate. Inside, a large table topped with cards was surrounded by the pigs and the farmers. Soon after a toast, the pigs' faces change, and it is impossible to tell whether they are human or pig.]]> 2019-01-21 23:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/322804263 colin_ambrosius https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/322967579 The picture below shows two pigs unraveling and scroll on which the front says "ANIMALISM". Two pigs follow behind them rolling the scroll up again. On the back it reads "CORRUPTION". What this symbolizes is that whatever government that has stemmed from a rebellion will never prevail because the new leaders will become corrupt from their new power. In Animal Farm, after throwing out Jones, the pigs take over the farm and ultimately abuse their power to live in luxury.]]> 2019-01-22 13:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/322967579 colin_ambrosius https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/322968881 Those who are sick of being controlled will usually rebel and take over their leader, but can sometimes get lost in their new power.]]> 2019-01-22 13:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/322968881 colin_ambrosius https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/322971805 This video explains what corruption is, the different types, and how it can effect us. I believe that the Animal Farm's governing system was a grand corruption because the pigs used money, power, and the animals to better themselves, all the while leaving the other animals in poverty and famine.]]> 2019-01-22 13:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/322971805 colin_ambrosius https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323115193 "'It was the most affecting sight I had ever seen!' said Squealer, lifting his trotter and wiping away a tear. 'I was at his bedside at the very last. And at the end, almost too weak to speak, he whispered in my ear that his sole sorrow was to have passed on before the windmill was finished. 'Forward, comrades!' he whispered. 'Forward in the name of the Rebellion. Long live Animal Farm! Long live Comrade Napoleon! Napoleon is always right,' Those were his very last words, comrades.'"]]> 2019-01-22 17:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323115193 colin_ambrosius https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323119165 This is an example of a leader changing a story to make himself sound better. Many politicians do this to create a person connection to their followers which gets them more votes. The more votes they receive the more likely they will be elected. Boxer did not really say this (he was not a true follower of Napoleon, but he did not dislike him either), nor was Squealer at his bedside. The pigs sent Boxer to the Slaughter House so that they could have enough money ]]> 2019-01-22 17:28:56 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323119165 colin_ambrosius https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323122140 2019-01-22 17:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323122140 colin_ambrosius https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323422018 The picture below shows a man in robes playing the flute while leading mesmerized children at  his heels. They love his music, and follow him everywhere he plays it. This is representing someone with knowledge or power leading his blind followers and manipulating them to do his bidding. This is similar to the pigs in Animal Farm because they used their power and stronger minds to control the animals' and used them to live in luxury and comfort.]]> 2019-01-23 13:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323422018 colin_ambrosius https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323432785 The American Revolution was a colonial time period in which the new America fought Britain for their independence. The Thirteen Colonies argued that "taxation without representation" took place, meaning that they were made to pay money without having a say in whether or not they should or how much it would be. Many protests took place after the Boston massacre, and talk of a revolution took place between the colonists. After 7 years, the Thirteen Colonies finally pulled away from Great Britain, and had won their independence. The new America now had their own government, and has come to be known as the United States of America.]]> 2019-01-23 13:54:56 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323432785 colin_ambrosius https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323565320 "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."]]> 2019-01-23 17:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323565320 colin_ambrosius https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323565890 The quote above is the preamble for the Constitution of the United States. It depicts the demand for a safe home land, general welfare for its people, and freedom to become a country known as the United States of America. Since the U.S. has become a very popular and advanced country, the Constitution and its government have been seen as one of the most powerful and economically powerhouses in the world since it rise to power.]]> 2019-01-23 17:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323565890 colin_ambrosius https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323570012 The American Revolution and Animal Farm are similar in many ways. In both, a group under rule are sick of being ruled unfairly by a governing force all whilst not getting a say in their future nor conditions. Both groups broke free of their unfair leader and became a new government to govern themselves. They renamed their land, distributed conditions and work, and created a system to elect new leaders and meet at meetings. Some could say that in both pigs take over the new government and run as politicians to rule, and they change stories and events to make themselves look better.]]> 2019-01-23 17:21:33 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323570012 colin_ambrosius https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323577688 The video below is a marker-board-drawing type of video in which a woman explains why the government should not be run like a business. It is similar to how the Colonies felt under Great Britain's rule. They had taxed the colonists to the point of poverty and made them shelter and feed soldiers, all without giving them a say on how the government should be run.]]> 2019-01-23 17:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323577688 colin_ambrosius https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323584949 “American Revolution.” Wikipedia, Wikimedia Foundation, 30 Dec. 2018, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolution.

The waters are icy, they have very thin clothing, and some are close to death, but they keep going. Soon they will make a surprise attack on a British Camp on Christmas Day. This was a turning point in the Revolution because it showed dominance, leadership, and the fact that America could be their own country and have their own military and other defense system.]]> 2019-01-24 13:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323890197 colin_ambrosius https://padlet.com/colin_ambrosius/AnimalFarmPadlet444/wish/323893438 In the image below, the British have finally agreed to the Constitution and allowed America to be their own country.
