*At the begining, when the laws of Animal Farm were first made up, at the retiring age had been fixed for hores and pigs at twelve, for cows at forteen, for dogs at nine, for sheep at seven and for hens and geese at five...
* The farm had had a very succesful year, but they were still short of money. they were the briks, sand, and lime for the school rooms to be purchased, and it would also be necassary to begin saving for next year machinery for the windmill.
* In April Animal Farm was proclaimed are public, and it became necessary to elect a president. there were 0nly canidates, Napolean who was elected unanimously. The same day it was given out that fresh document had been disovered whitch vealed futher details about snowball's complicity with jones.
* In the summer a sudden rumour ran round the farm that something had happened to boxer... He had gone out alone to drag a load of stone down to the windmill.
Chapter 10*
* The seasons came and went, the short animals livesfled by. a tome came when there waws no one who remembered the old days befor the rebelion, except clove, benjamin, moss the raven and a number of the pigs.

how does propaganda refer to real life???
Name calling happens on an every day basics. People always call other people that they most likely don't no names and make them feel bad about them selves. Know one should ever have to fell that way! Every one should be treated equally and know that there are allot of people out there who will stick up for them if they ever need something. Name calling is something that people mostly kids do when they have nothing better to do.. Every one is different in there own ways so every one should be open to that and understand that some things don't come so easily to some people and they may need some attention to help them move along. Its not about looks or clothes its about who the people really are inside. Some people are total different people under neither and they just choice no to show it because they are scared that some one will judge them. No one should have to be scared to show who the real them are. People should accept you for who you are and not who you or they want you to be.... False Analogy- Happen alot when it comes to high school... There are always people who dont want anyhting good to happen to you so they try to make your life horible, Or then you even get the people who just want to stand out and they have nothing better to do with there life.. They can start roomers and even tell you false thing that will just make you feel bad.. When it comes down to alse analogy there are so many times in life that makes thease kind of thing happen. False anoogy can even lead to drama!! To be truthfull there is so much drama... Its really anoying how people have to make thease thing up just to have something to talk about. When some times there are those roomers that you dont want to talk about.... |
how propaganda refers to animal farm..
Band Wagon comes into place when the raven try's to tell all the other animals that every thing that Old Major is telling them isn't true during chapter one. all the animals didn't know what to think because even know that Old Major is the top of the animals at the farm...
Black and White thinking has happened during chapter 2 when all the animals made up the seven decampment's. Trying to make the farm a better place for them to live. Before this day came they also had to agree on how they would get the farmers and the rest of the family that worked around the farm to leave. So when the animals got all the people to leave. The animals could live there by them selves and work for each other so they could have tone of food to survive with and not have to worry how much every one had to eat in a day.
Transfer is a good way to tell how napolean the pig tryed to get extra work hours in so he could get the good resinable ones befor they were all gone.He got there in timwe befor any other animals on the farm were there to get there hours.

We arrived at the camp early one morning I was only 7 years old at the time. I was so young I didn't know what had happened. Thing was going to be OK, but apparently not. They crammed so many of us into one little cart. It was horrifying i was so scared. There were so many of us in one little cart that it was hard too breath it was as it someone was sitting on you the whole ride.
As we piled out of the cart it felt so good because of all the body heat that was trapped in there. They brought us all to this building there were so many people it was hard to believe what was going on. They lined us up, they took all of our valuables our clothes and they even tattooed us on our wrists. They separated us all in to groups women in one tent and the men in another each side of the tents were gated and the men and women weren't aloud to being the same area as each other...
* * *
Three days have gone by many of the people here were starving and deathly sick already. They gave us each barley Enough food to eat. All of the children were crying for food because they were so starved... The Germans came in every morning to check up on us to make sure any of us weren't sick, They mad us line up if we were sick then they would shoot us. Not fare i thought to my self. They are making us sick i don't under stand so much is happening.... Germans aren't perfect know one is prefect i don't know why we deserve this.
Its morning they wake us up so early. Earlier then we have to get up for school. They drag us all out to the field and make us dig these big wholes. Little do we know that these wholes are where they are going to berry us after they kill us. The sweat poorer down my face i was working so hard trying to show no fear but in side of me my body was full of it.
I looked over my shoulder at my mother crying as she was digging her whole.... They called her over to fallow the men with a bunch of other women. I sat and watched her walk away with the fear in her eyes, As a man comes up to me with a big gun and screams (get to work!) as I was working I noticed that my mother never came back.
* * *
Ever since then i dreaded pitching that in my head. The fear i had but thinking of what my mother was thinking as she walked away from me and a the rest of my family that day...

The Outsiders* 3
After sixteen year's I would think that you would have learned a lot on the streets, knowing that you have to get by on your own and sometimes you many even have to learn the hard ways of life. Johnny knew that he had to get by some how and this gang was one of them. He thought that this gang was his family his life at home was hard and all so this gang was one of the ways for him to let his feelings out and be able to talk to someone he trusts. Johnny always tried his hardest to stay out of as much trouble as he could. He had learned the hard way that staying out of trouble is the way to go. I think that Johnny would have liked to learn to get along with his family because family is every thing that you want in life, some one there to talk to and being able to see some one who is actually related to you every day or even someone to have a shoulder to cry on. But by being in the gang Johnny new that these were the kind of people that he would want to be around.

The Outsiders Post 2
obituary:
Dallas, was very over whelmed by his friends Johnny's death.... after he left the hospital when Johnny had passed know one new were he had gone to. soon after most of the gang got a phone call from Dallas he was being chased by the police because he had robed a store. he asked his friends if they could meet him in the empty lot to help him hide. before his friends new it he was coming around the corner, then the police pulled up. they all jumped out of the cars and drew there guns. Dallas reached for him gun unloaded? no it was. he was just joking around with them the police ordered but he didn't listen he was shot down.
Dallas,had an elfish face high cheek bones and pointed chin small sharp animal teeth and ears like a lynx. his hair looked white but it is really blond.
