“Animal Farm” Revolution at SPA
If there was a revoltuion at San Pasqual Academy where the students took over, there would be many things that would be different. At first all the students would work together to overthrow all the staff and supervisors. They would work together and come up with palns undercover. After Whent the student take over there would be a power struggle over who would be the leader. Everyone would want to be the leader of the campus and for who would make the rules of the campus. I think ther would ba a lot of arguing and fighting at first but, then ther would be vote. There would be some unreasonable rules and some good ones. After a couple of months of the students ruling things would start to fall apart and the old campus staff would try to take over again. The students would fall because of others wanting to take over, like staff and other students.

Symbolism and Allegory Unit Reflection
Over the past few weeks our English 10 class has been studying about sybolism and allegory. We have studied a lot about symbolism. We have read stories and written paragraphs tyo learn and show our understanding of it. We also learned alot about allegory. For this we read a play called "Animal Farm", it was very interesting. Then we made graphic organizers about the charcters and allegory. my favorite assignment was makeing the graphic organizer about all the characters in "Animal Farm". It was fun because we got to make them with partners and we also got to compare all the characters of the story to a trait that many different people have. I think that I learned a lot about sybolism and allegory in this unit. Our whole class did a great job!

“Animal Farm” Character’s Symbolic Meaning Paragraph

In the story “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, the character Snowball represents bravery and initiative. For example when snowball comes up with the idea of the windmill after researching and drawing up plans, he shows initiative because it shows his leadership and how he was smart. When he stood up to Squealer and Napoleon to argue that the windmill would make less labor for the animal all the animals agreed and then Napoleon scared Snowball away with the dogs. This showed Snowball’s bravery when he stood up to them and no one else would. People who take initiative and are brave usually are successful leaders and have many people support and follow them.
Animal Farm to the Real World
In the story Animal Farm by George Orwell, where all the animals escape the Manor Farm, after not being fed all day by Farmer Jones, and form their own farm, has allegorical meaning. For example it could represent when people in a country of group are either not being treated right or they don’t like the laws or expectations they will usually leave and try to form their own group. An example of this is if there was a group of friends and some of them felt like they weren’t being treated right they leave and form their own group of friends. Even though most stories about animals are written for children, this story represent many more complex situations and symbolizes much more then just talking animals. This story is mainly for older readers because to understand the symbolism and the meaning behind ever character the reader would have to pay close attention to detail.
