All of them are male. These pigs were born a few months earlier. There was only 1 boar on the farm at the time. That boar was Napoleon. Napoleon killed 4 of his sons to show off his power. Don't Believe me? Snowball was off the farm and old major was too old to have children. Stalin himself let one of his sons die in a death camp. Stalin is represented by Napoleon so this makes sense. Pigs and other animals have different pregnancy spans than humans. Snowball was off the farm 6 months before. Old major was too old to have offspring.]]> 2022-03-11 17:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jrflanagan1/z7umagcdu9ivf1zq/wish/2090837438 claiwaga8146 https://padlet.com/jrflanagan1/z7umagcdu9ivf1zq/wish/2090849834

In both Animal Farm and the article, we see facts of the past being disputed.  What are the dangers of being ignorant to the facts of one's own history?

This news involves propaganda that makes Russia seem like a trustworthy and reliable place. In Animal Farm this is also the case. In America, there are many sources of news. These sources might also include propaganda. Is it better to have one source of news or multiple? Is it better to have a county together but their truth is actually a lie or is a country divided going against each other for what they believe in?]]> 2022-03-11 17:44:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jrflanagan1/z7umagcdu9ivf1zq/wish/2090858311 claiwaga8146 https://padlet.com/jrflanagan1/z7umagcdu9ivf1zq/wish/2090880149 To what degree is avoiding unhealthy conformity our responsibility? ]]> 2022-03-11 17:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jrflanagan1/z7umagcdu9ivf1zq/wish/2090880149
