Did the story Animal Farm master me or did I master it. In the story Animal Farm some of the animals were lied to throughout the story. In this essay I will talk about how the animals were lied to in the story. And how most of the animals were following Napoleon rules. In Animal Farm, the way characters respond to stories has a strong connection their ability to survive.
First I will start with Squealer. Squealer was a good story teller and always twisted the story. For example when the animals found out the commandments were changed Squealer twisted the story and told them they were the same. When Squalor told the animals the story of the rebellion he told lies. He told the animals Snow was a coward and he destroyed the windmill. Squealer also knew Napoleon changed the rules. And when the animals ask about the rules he made the animals think they were dumb and crazy. And he told them the rules weren’t changed. By the end of the story Squealer was fat and rich.
Next I will talk about Benjamin. Benjamin never spoke up but always followed the rules. Benjamin always knew the rules were changed. And always still followed the rules. When he talks to animals he never told them about the rules he let them believe the rules were never changed. By the end of the story Benjamin lived and got old.
Last I will talk about Boxer. Boxer never spoke up just like Benjamin and always followed the rules. Also Boxer always thought Napoleon was right. And he was a hard worker and was one of the hardest worker on the farm. He was also fooled easily and always believe everything he was told. By the end of the story Boxer was sold to a horse slaughterer.
The characters respond to stories that connect to their ability to survive as I explained in the essay. Squealer twisted the story. Benjamin never spoke up toward the story. And Boxer believed the story. Animal Farm is important to the real world because it shows how people would react to propaganda and rhetoric.

In Animal Farm some characters respond to the rebellion in different ways. For example the pigs Napeleon and Snowball try to spread the new to the other farms. To spread the news of the rebellion they sent the pigeons to other farms so the other animals could rebell to . Another example on how the characters respond to the rebellion is the farmers tried to twist the story. The farmers were saying that '' It was given out that the animals there practiced cannibalism tortured one another with red hot horseshoe , and had their females in common''. Thats what happen in the story of the rebellion.

There are two reason the animal's belives Napeloen's lie's . One reason is because they couldn't read . And two they were scared of the dogs Napeloen have. One example of them not being able to read is when them didn't know the rule's got changed and the only animal that could read Benjamin had to tell them about the rules. Another example of when they believe's is because he has the dog'son his side. They believed because he took the dog's when they where puppy's and trained them. And anybody that get in Napeloen's way would get attact by the dog's. That's why the animal's believe Napeloen's lie's.

Ms.Meville                                               

                                                               Liberty or Equality ? Which does Connell

                                                                                        value more

    

    In the story '' Most Dangerous Game '' the author  Richard Connell to me value's liberty more . There are Three reason's why I think Connell value's liberty . One is because took Whitney out the story but Whitney was the only one that valued equality.To me that means Connell took Whitney out he doesn't value equality he value's liberty. The second reason I think Connell value's liberty is because he made the whole story about two men hunting . That means he must like to hunt. The third reason I think Connell value's liberty is because he only gave Zaroff and Rainsford a voice so you never got to hear from nobody but those two. That's why I believe that Richard Connell values liberty more than equality.
