Animal Farm
 
Before I post my questions, has anyone heard of Animal Farm by George Orwell?

if someone say yes then I will post some things. but not until someone say yes....

No one has heard about, you are saying.

Zwarte Piet February 06, 2009 06:16 PM

I have heard of the book, but I have never read it.

bmarquis124 February 06, 2009 06:23 PM

i have read that book. are you reading it?

Jessica February 06, 2009 06:38 PM

yeah we're reading it in class. We almost finished the whole book today, but the bell rang so we're going to finsih the last few paragraphs on Monday. in the meantime I have to finish a study guide on it.
that is where my questions will come in.
Do you know pretty much what happened, if you read it recently?

bmarquis124 February 06, 2009 06:47 PM

i'm sorry, i haven't read it recently. i read it when i was in 8th grade. i remember the basic plot, but i probably can't help you with who snowball represents or explain the russian politics part of it. i recommend sparknotes. that was my best friend.

Sparknotes.com, definitely

Write a few words to describe each character:
Mr. Jones - gets drunk a lot
Napoleon - large, fierce-looking; had a reputation of getting his own way
Snowball - more vivacious pig than Napoleon; quicker in speech and more inventive
Squealer - a brilliant talker, very persuasive
Old Major - wise and benevolent
Mollie - troublesome, always late for work, ended up running away
Benjamin - oldest animal, worst tempered
Boxer - worked very hard, very strong horse
Moses - tamed raven that kept on talking about Sugarcandy Mountain
If you remember the characters, see if I have it right.

that sounds right to me. i thought it was really sad when they sent boxer away to be turned into glue. :(

Your descriptions are OK, but it's better to add more "politics" words, like leader. suggestion added
