Although Animal Farm appears to be a simple story about animals. It is actually
a satire of the Russian government. Some back round info animals overthrowing
humans to take over the farm by George Orwell. He wrote it after the Russian
revolution why to show pros and cons about stories. In animal farm the pigs
use stories to inspire the animals to empower themselves and oppress the
other animals.

First the pigs stories that inspire the other animals. One is old major is
the great good speech about change. The first example is the "humans are
taking food from us." The second example is if you overthrow the humans
remember not to be like them. The second story is that of the windmill
by snowball. The first example of this if finish we will have more. the
second example is that it will supply us power for the farm. That is how
the pigs use stories to inspire the other animals.

Second things the pigs use stories to empower themselves. One he changes
all the rules to help the pigs out. One no animal shall sleep in a bed now it
is no animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets. Next is no animal shall drink
beer or wine now it is no animal shall drink beer or wine to excess. Second
is that they take all the stuff for themselves. One they take the milk and
apples and say they need it. Next is that they take all the eggs for the same
reason as the apples but only it is for the farm. that is how the pigs use
the stories and lies to empower themselves.

Third is how they use stories to oppress the other animals. First is that they
take away the Sunday meetings. One the leader of the pigs says they are useless.
Next he says that he will be running the farm from now on any way. Second is
that they other animal's have no freedom and equality. One is that the pigs get
more stuff then the other animals. next is"all animal's are equal but some more
equal then others." so that is how those fat pigs use lies and stories to oppress
the other animal's.

The pigs on animal farm told stories and lies just to help themselves live better.
First the pigs use stories and lies to inspire the other animal's. Second the pigs
use stories and lies to get power for themselves. Third the pigs use stories an
lies to take away power from the other animals. Why it matter's is that this
event could happen again and maybe to you.
the first time that i saw about the election the were many choices to
chose i can not vote and pretty soon there were only to choices.
Obama or McCain i wanted McCain but many people vote for
Obama he won just because i did not get what i wanted.
But i just have to deal with it well i take him over the last
one. Now we are going to have the first African American
president
in history this is a big year for this country.

liberty

Rainsford believes in and wants liberty for two reasons. First
he does not leave the island he stays. It says "He had never
slept in a better bed in his life." Second is that he kills his host
Zairoff and does not care. He says he is a beast and that it is
growing more and more every second. that is why he believes
and wants liberty not equity.

nhd reflection

http://xroads.virginia.edu/~cap/penn/pnintro.html
it is primary and i really like this article

NHD TOPIC

I chose william penn because of philadelphia history because with out william penn. Philadephia would be off the map gone would not existed. I read an article is on his charcter We must remember that Penn was also a member of the landed gentry, and that despite his true interest in (relative) democracy and religious toleration, he was 'proprietor' of his Pennsylvania manor. As such, he held--and wanted to hold-- much control in how land was gained and dispersed, how the city was plotted and populated, how it's government, laws, public institutions were set up. He did not have quite as much control as the modern Simcity player though, and had to revise plans and bicker with his purchasers constantly. Though that a pacifist Quaker, and religious and political liberal, was given 45,000 acres of land to do with as he pleased says something of his considerable political skills (and well-placed position). and i think it is wonderful how he found philadelphia and his charcter. He solve and help make this wonderful city but not alone.
