Writing Station

Animals with bad intentions are not leader material. Animals such as Napoleon, an animal that goes back on his word. Napoleon is an animal with no trust or can't be trusted. He took apples, milks, and eggs from his own allies. Napoleon said, "all animals are equal." How can this be possible? How can we all be equal if food is being taking from us and giving to only one minority. A animal that goes back on his word can never be trusted.

7 Commandments of Animal Farm
1. What goes upon two legs is an enemy.
2. What goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
3. No animal shall wear clothes.
4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.
5. No animal shall drink alcohol.
6. No animal shall kill any other animal.
7. All animals are equal.

My World

Welcome to the World of Julian Hi !! I'm Julian, you may think you know but you have no idea, what kind of world your about to experience. So let me inform you. A free and open one but every society, no matter what variety has rules and regulations.

First, Thou shall not, and I repeat NOT kill. In the society we live in we believe that any and everything should be able to live their own lives, no matter what crimes or great sins they've committed. To no extent, a human being shall never take murder into their own hands.


Second, Thou shall not 


PFQ!

1P:I think Mollie will be killed.
1F:Mollie, goes missing.
1Q:Who would kidnap Mollie?

2P:They will find Mollie dead.
2F:Mollie is never mentioned again.
2Q:Why was Mollie never mentioned again?
3P:Nepoleon will kill Snowball for power.
3F:The divisions between Snowball and Napoleon are becoming more pronounced, and it seems that they now oppose each other on every proposal. Snowball’s eloquence allows him to control the meetings, However, Napoleon works quietly behind the scenes building support, and succeeding in getting all of the sheep onto his side.
3Q:Who do you think will become leader?Why?
4P:Nepoleon will do something to mass Snowball plans up.
4F:Snowball is forever proposing new plans and schemes for the improvement of the farm, all of which are opposed by Napoleon. Snowball’s most ambitious plan is for the construction of a windmill, which he says can provide heat and electricity to the farm. He accepts that it will be a huge undertaking, and is vague about some of the details. Napoleon is completely against the idea, and makes his opposition clear. Snowball continues to work on his plans, and spends hours every day in a shed working on them, drawing them out on the wooden floor. All of the animals visit Snowball regularly in the shed to watch the plans grow into something that looks very complex and impressive.
4Q:What do you think Nepoleon will do?
5P:Snowball will be killed so he will have no chance at getting power.
5F:The farm is divided into two factions at this stage, the “Vote for Snowball and the three-day week” faction, and the “Vote for Napoleon and the full manger” faction. Snowball has convinced his faction that the windmill will lead to increased leisure time for everybody, while Napoleon has convinced his faction that the distraction of the windmill will cause the animals to lose time on the harvest and starve.
5Q:Do you think Snowball will win?
6P:Snowball will be killed by the dogs.
6F:The sheep heckle Snowball as he explains his plans for the windmill, and why it will be good for the farm. Napoleon then rises and gives a very brief and curt address, advising everyone to vote against the windmill. Snowball then speaks again. He talks passionately and eloquently, and creates a vision of a mechanised farm with heat and light, with electrical threshers and ploughs and reapers, where the animals do little or no work, and All the labour is carried out by the electricity generated by the windmill. It is clear that Snowball will win the vote. Just then, Napoleon stands and admits a queer sound, a kind of whimper. At this signal, nine huge dogs, the dogs that Napoleon took away as puppies months before, rush into the barn and charge at Snowball.
6Q:What do you think happened to Snowball?
7P:Everyone will hate Napoleon and turn on him for what he did to Snowball.
7F: The dogs chase him from the barn and off the farm. He is never seen again.
7Q:Do you think Snowball is dead?
8P:The animals will start to think for them selves.
8F:He tells them that Sunday Meetings are henceforth abolished, and that all decisions in future will be taken solely by the pigs. Any dissent is silenced by growls from the dogs, and the meeting finishes to a fifteen-minute chorus of “Four legs good, two legs bad” from the sheep. Squealer follows up in the aftermath, explaining to the shocked animals of the farm that Napoleon has taken on the leadership with great reluctance and with great sacrifice to himself. The animals are soon won over when they are reminded of what life was like under Jones.Three weeks after this fateful meeting, Napoleon announces that the Windmill will now be built. The animals are warned that this will mean lots of extra hard work, and a reduction in their rations. Squealer explains the apparent change of heart by convincing the animals that Napoleon had been in favour of the windmill all along, but had to appear to be against it in order to get rid of Snowball. The animals are easily persuaded.
8Q:Why do you think Nepoleon was in faver of tje windmill after Snpwball was gone? Do you think the animal will start a rebellion?

Do Now

If i had to choose between Napoleon and Snowball to lead us to freedom, I would choose Snowball because he is intelligent and well spoken. He is also idealistic.

Indifferent- To be without interest, or Unconcerned.

Radiant- Clearly emanating, full of joy , greatness or health.
Reminds me of when Moishe the Beadle seen a young
women that he thought was gorgeous. (Radiant)

Homework (Reflection)

As I read pgs 85-97, I found out new exciting and interesting facts, like Rabi and his son running from torture and hell, into freedom and happiness. The Jewish Culture claimed Rabi's son of betraying his family because he left his father behind but, he had no choice.As they continued to run the father was becoming weaker and weaker. So he did what he had to.

Reflection

Reading the story "Night" pgs 77 - 84. I read about a Jewish prisoner who says "He has more faith in Hitler than anyone, He alone has kept his promises to the Jewish people" In my own words, I think this means that of all the things that he's experienced and asked god for, he never kept his promises, but has more respect for Hitler because he keeps his word.

When Ellie said that "god was hanging from the gallows" he meant that as god look down on his children and creation,with nothing said or done, while they were hung from their necks struggling for survival.


I feel that as Ellie was starting to wonder if god really exist . He starts to ask his self if god really exist , because god wouldn't stand by and watch his people be murder.Ellie's belief in god has changed in many different ways.For example when Ellie at the beginning of the story ,god blessed Ellie to go with his father,during the time the Jewish people were being taken to the concentration camps. Later in the story, Ellie begins to pray and ask god to help him out of perplexing situtations and god was nowhere to be found.
