Please choose one passage from the novel that is significant to you.
Why is this passage meaningful? Please type it into one of your entries
And comment on what you think about the passage.
There are many passages that I found to be engaged and significant to me. Moreover, I have found a passage which is about pigs changing 7 commandments so that pig, themselves have more privileges. There are no doubts that this is not a significant passage because, this is so true in our world. Everyone who has power over someone else is always greedy. They want more and more out of others. In addition, people are keeping demanding that everyone should be equal; the only problem is that they are not being equal with other person. A person whom has power always has privileges. This passage is so powerful because what George Orwell is thinking throughout the book is so true. Every bad thing that we found in the book, we can find same mistakes in our own world, in government or ourselves. This passage makes other people think that pigs are greedy and bad however, what we really should think about is that we might be like pigs that are greedy and wanted more power and money over someone else. Even though we might not be one of them, we have to keep thinking about because in this sinful nature, human beings are born to sin. Moreover, at least once in a life time, we will be like the pigs that we think are bad. To think religiously through this passage, God treats us and wants us to be equal to one another and God loves us equally. However, in the passage, pigs are changing commandments because they want more privileges for themselves. If these pigs are us, we are not going to be loved by God unless we ask for forgiveness. One of the verses says that we have to do unto others as you want them to do to you. Pigs or we have to make the world more equal so that everyone could be happy. Being selfish and greedy might be good for few months or years but it is not going to last long time. So, none of the people should be like the pigs in the text because eventually the hurting ones are going to be the pigs.

The Setting (Animal Farm) #5

are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be
beautiful? or disturbing? or memorable? describe these settings and
Comment on why they were meaningful to you.
The setting of the book, “Animal Farm” is basically an imaginary farm in England. I don’t think the setting is beautiful, because a lot of kinds of animals are living in one place. Moreover, pigs are there too. So, I don’t think it is beautiful in anyway. In addition, it is disturbing but not that much. The setting itself is just disturbing because first of all, farm is just dirty and loud because of different kinds of animals. Since the setting of the book is just one place, I don’t really have a choice to find some settings that are beautiful and some settings are disturbing. The setting of the book is memorable because not many of the books chose farm as their setting. Moreover, looking at farm like our world and animals are metaphors for human. It is very interesting as a reader to read this kind of book. As I said, the setting of the story is an imaginary farm around 1918-1945. Some comments that I could make about the setting of the story is that it was creative for George Orwell to view the world like a farm and looking at people like different animals. Moreover how he had made so similar to reality. I think it was creative. It was kind of meaningful to me because not just the plot of the book struck me, but also the setting did. The setting is very astonishing because it happens to be so similar. As I kept thinking about the setting and the plot, as more and more I think in depth, I can see why George Orwell had chosen a farm to be the place of setting. The reason is simple in a farm many of different kinds of animals meet and live together. It is similar to our world. We meet different kinds of people and live with them in the same apartment, city, and country. So there is a close connection between a farm and our world. So the setting of the story is very creative, good and very memorable because of the reasons that I have mentioned already.

The Main Characters (Animal Farm) #4

Who are the main characters in the novel? Do you like them? Why or
Why not? What is special about them? What do they reveal about the
Universal human experience?
In the book “Animal Farm” doesn’t have stated the main characters however; the characters who are round characters are Napoleon, Snowball, Boxer and Squealer.
Napoleon is a character who leads the story line, who is the leader of other pigs and other animals. Napoleon is a pig.
Snowball is another pig who is against Napoleon. He is another character who leads the story line until the climax where Napoleon kicks Snowball out of the farm with his trained dogs.
Boxer is a horse that is really strong and loyalty. Throughout the story, Boxer later things that Napoleon is always right which is wrong.
Squealer is a pig who spreads the words of Napoleon. Basically, since Napoleon himself doesn’t speak out to the rest of the animals, Squealer tell other animals for Napoleon.
Theses are some of the main characters of “Animal Farm” and some details about them.
I don’t like any of the characters in Animal Farm because they all have things that I hate. What I hate about it is that it is very similar to now days and citizens and government cannot solve this problem. Moreover, I am not a pig or any animal’s fan except dogs, so.
The special thing about them is that they have some of the characteristics that humans have. It reveals that pigs are greedy and dirty moreover very selfish which our governmental people are. In addition, the other animals represent us, which it reveals that we have diversity of people around us. The universal human experience that they reveal is people with power rule over others whether it is good for people or bad for people. In the text or in reality, people who have power have some people who follow after them and obey them. In the world, there are powerful people and weak people. Someone who is better than our self, we can’t say anything to them. However, if we are better, we talk over them. That is what the main characters are revealing about. In addition, even though I don’t like the characters in the book, it is interesting and fun to read because the author, Orwell is very metaphorical. It was fun.

The Mood (Animal Farm) #3

What is the mood of this novel? do you find this novel saddens you in
any way? Why?
In the book “Animal Farm” there is a lot of moods that could be mentioned. The mood of this novel is sad, dark, happy, and moods that leads to bad sides. The happy mood part of the story is where the animals first have defeated the owner of the farm. Napoleon and Snowball, two leaders in the farm, made plan and kick the owner out of the farm which made them two leaders of the farm. All the animals felt free, happy and all bright. However, starting from this point of the story, the mood of sad, dark, and moods of bad occurs. When pigs in the farm had starting showing some leadership, they were way beyond the expectation of the other animals. However, things got worse and pigs started becoming selfish. Other animals feel betrayed, sad that pigs are becoming like the owner in the old days. Moreover, the other animals are all in the bad mood because of Napoleon doing things just for him and other animals having not enough freedom. In addition, at the last Napoleon became like a human and sleeps on the bed like human and negotiate with other farm owners. The act of Napoleon made other animals in the farm feel sad, disappointed, and betrayed and into the dark mood. It saddens me because as I said in the other post, the act of Napoleon is similar to every government in the world. The governmental people, at last thinks about themselves. Moreover, it came out in the news that even though governmental people had enough money to help the poor but rather than helping, they were using money for entertainment for themselves. In addition, the citizens had criticized them, in now days; some of the governmental people are still like that.
Another reason why the mood saddens me is because the animals in the farm cannot disagree or disobey Napoleon. He had too much power for himself that the farm couldn’t change. In addition, they can’t even speak to him about their opinion, and follow what they have chosen for them to do. So, these two reasons sadden me.

The Climax (Animal Farm) #2

What is the climax of this novel? what happens? how do the events of
this novel make you feel?
In the book “Animal Farm,” disagreement between Snowball and Napoleon builds up the climax. The climax of this novel is when Napoleon, one of the leaders of the pigs, make Snowball, the other pig go out of the farm so that Napoleon can have power over the entire farm. Napoleon uses his trained dogs to make Snowball go out because the dogs had a great power, or the actual strength. Over a problem, Napoleon and Snowball had disagreed about each other’s opinion and because of disagreement, the conflict between them have started. Moreover, basically, this situation changes everything around the farm because, now Napoleon and the other pigs want to have power over and from this point, it cannot go back to the old days. The climax of the story is actually very interesting to me, because, in now days, the government doing like the climax. If one of the governmental people has power, then most of other governmental people follow after the guy and kicks governmental people who disagree with him, who have power. In addition, it is interesting that pigs use trained dogs to kick Snowball out, in now days; governmental people use gangsters around and pay them to kick governmental people who disagree. Moreover, it makes me sad too, because in the book, other animals had to obey pigs and in reality, same thing goes on. If government has problem, we could protest but unless a lot of people are involved, the citizens cannot argue with the government. However, it is good that countries are developing and governments try their best to have no conflict with the citizens. The climax of the story was unexpected for me because I thought Napoleon and Snowball will keep cooperating with each other. Since Napoleon had the trained dogs, I thought Snowball had some secret animals that he owned. So it was a bit shocking but it was predictable because if people have two arguments, one of them have to lose. So the climax was interesting, sad but fun.

The Theme (Animal Farm) #1

What is the major theme of this novel? why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2007?
There are several major themes in this novel, however, what I think it is most important theme is that language or the words that come from your mouth is to control other people, meaning since man are selfish and have pride, they want to control or have people under us. Moreover, by language, it makes other people think in different way and do something that are actually good for me. In the book, “Animal Farm” the pigs got power after Major had died, moreover, pigs became selfish of themselves and played with words and had more power over the whole animal, had nevertheless, they became like humans who wanted everything for their own benefits. So, the theme is, by we should not change other people’s decisions or their visuals on the world by twisting the meanings of the words that you use. For now day’s example, we often do it when we give peer pressure in a bad way where we know it is bad but by twisting the meaning, we try to show only the good parts. This theme is important because since the technology is developed than the past, we have more ways to communicate with other people, such as friends and people we even don’t know. Moreover, we often use words to control other people. For example, we act nicely to others so that they will do something for me. Since teenagers living in 2007 had already experienced and it always happens, it should stop. The universal truth is that no body likes to follow other people’s order unless they respect them. However, they want others to follow their orders. So, they twist words to make them follow. Moreover, that is starting to happen from period of teenagers. Moreover, if we could prevent it from period of teenagers, we could not have this problem when we get older. So, the theme is we should not be twisting words to control other people and it is important for teenagers living in 2007 because they are already twisting words and it should be prevented. That’s why it is important for teenagers.
