English 10 Adapted

Greetings! We have a few things to go over before we continue with Animal Farm.

1. Please send me your questions for chapter 3, 4, and 5 if you haven't sent it to me yet.
2. Please send me your Double Entry Journal for chapters 1 - 5 if you haven't sent it to me yet.

In Animal Farm, the animals are being controlled by the pigs. Gradually, it seems the pigs are tricking the animals. Napoleon is becoming a terrible, selfish pig, and is beginning to take over the farm. In a way, Animal Farm is like a country with an evil government. Based on what we have read in Animal Farm, what does George Orwell believe we need to live in a successful country?

The animals had so much hope that they would succeed, but Napoleon has taken over and the animals have become scared. Many animals are hardworking, honest creatures, while the pigs have become selfish. Orwell may be suggesting this kind of failure is in our nature, or he may be suggesting that there are simply evil people who want to become powerful. Was the revolution doomed to fail from the beginning?
