Animal Farm Connections

The book Animal Farm is related to the real world very closely. Other than the fact that it uses animals instead of people, it is a good book to show how corrupt governments can form. A text to world connection I found was purely the fact that it shows the pigs' rise to power. First it starts off as the leader, Snowball, and then it  turns into a tyranny when the forceful leader, Napoleon, attacks with his vicious dogs. A text to self connection I made, and this is probably true for most kids is the fact that my parents rule the house. No, it isn't a tyranny, and you have a lot of rights, but it is more related to when Snowball was in power. And a text to text connection I made was to the book, The Hunger Games. The connection isn't the actions in the book, but how the capitol forcibly took the power, much like Napoleon took power from Snowball. From my description given, what connections can you guys come up with?

Animal Farm--The Best thing about my book

Animal Farm is a very interesting book in the fact that instead of people, the government is made up of animals. One thing I found humerous about this system of animals is that out of all of them, the pigs are the rulers. This is making fun of the fact that the people in the government will do anything to get ahead, using the term,"They are a bunch of pigs." The author is using satire in this fact to ridicule that fact by turning the leaders into pigs. He is also making fun of rulers because the pigs get the most food and water and also get the most comfortable beds. When the farmer came back to try and take his farm back from the animals, the leading pig, snowball, yelled,"Charge," but he didn't even fight. He is ridiculing a monarchy in all of thesen facts because, in a democracy, the people are strong, and the animals other than pigs are strong. These animals include horses, dogs, sheep, and other stronger animals. What do you think, with all the other animals being strong, will they try to overthrow the pigs?

Animal Farm-- Why I chose it

Recently, I started reading the book Animal Farm by George Orwell. One reason I chose this book is mostly because it's a classic, and I have also heard it is a very good book. I saw this book in a book store as I was there to get Farenheit 451; so I picked it up because it sounded interesting. Apparently, it is supposed to be a book representing why the government shouldn't have too much power. As I have read into it a little, I have seen hints of the government kicking in. So far, the animals have run out their farmer and named their new farm, Animal Farm. They have also established the rulers, which are the pigs because they say they could make the best rulers. What do you guys think, will the pigs turn the new Animal Farm into a complete tyranny?

451 Most important quote

The most important line from part 1 is when Captain Beatty says, "We don't get overanxious or mad. We let the fireman keep the book twenty-four hours. If he hasn't burned it by then, we simply come burn it for him."(Bradbury 59) This is the most important line from this chapter because it is foreshadowing that Cpt. Beatty will become the main antagonist in the book by threatening to burn down Montag's house because he has the book. In the future, I think Beatty will become the main force against Montag, trying to stop him from collecting books. It is obvious that he has been collecting books because he pulled about 20 books out of his ventilator grate. Also, at the end of the chapter, he sits down and starts to read the books that he has revealed that he has. As he is starting to read the books, Beatty is knocking at his door to try and get back in to see that he actually does have the books. This shows that Beattyt will become the main antagonist in the story because he is already trying to make Montag not read books by trying to get rid of his confidence. What do you guys think? Will the main antagonist be Beatty, or someone else?
