REflection Chapter 6

Another year passes. The animals work themselves to the bone on the harvest and on the windmill. They worked under the supervision of the pigs. They were treated like nothing. The harvest was going bad so they knew that the coming winter was going to be bad. They had a problem building the windmill because they were running out of supplies. But Napoleon announces one day that Animal Farm will henceforth enter into trading arrangements with some of the surrounding farms One thing in the book that stood out to me was how some of the animals did not stand up for them selfs. One animal said, "we must take a stand." When the animal said that it touched me. The night before I stood up and gave a speech and I stood up for myself.

(Now Or Never)By: Adler, Elizbeth {Chapter 1}

In the book Now Or Never, there was a girl walking to her car. The night was dark and moonless, with a slight breeze that lifted her long brown hair. A man watched the girl walk slowly across the college parking lot. The guy loved watching her. The guy knew were she lived, he even knew the layout of the house. Later on the girl got into her car and the guy was hiding in the back. Then he killed her. He hold her in his arms, knowing she was helpless.

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 emits 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 happend 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 selfs.
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?

Napoleon And Snowball

If I had to choose between Napoleon and Snowball I would choose Snowball. I would choose Snowball because he is very intelligent and well spoken. Snowball makes great choose for the people and himself .Napoleon is not intelligent. He makes bad choose and only thinks of himself.
