The symbol in Animal farm is the commandments that were painted on the wall in the barn when they first took over the farm. The commandments then changed to make it easier for all animals to read, then it changed at the very end to, "all animals are equal, but some are more equal then others" (which were the pigs). The symbol is the rules for all animals on the farm. It represents to me what all the animals on the farm and all animals around them stand for. The author may have included it so that we get an idea of how everyone should treat animals, so the animals don't do this for real. It is important to the story so that the animals know what to do around the farm and how to stay in order and not get misguided.
ReplyDeleteThe symbol that is in the animal farm is are the commandments that were on the wall. The animals couldnt read the commandments soo they re-wrote it so that they could make it for there understanding at the end but the pigs were the ones who said some of the animals are equal, but really they meant them because they thought they were all that than a bag of chips. This represents to me because if we dont treat animals right than we dont know what can happen in real life, so we have to respect the fact that animals are like humans we just have to treat them right. The auhtor is trying to tell us that we as humans should treat all animals right and not just one animal. It is important so they know what to do and do it right.
ReplyDeleteThe symbol in Animal farm is the commandments that was painted on the wall in the farm when they first took over the farm. The commandments then was changed to make it easier for all animals to read, then it changed again at the very end to, "all animals are equal. But most are more equal then others" (which were the pigs). The symbol is the rules for all animals on the farm. It represents to me what all the animals on the farm and all the animals around them stood for. The author may have included it so that we get an point of how everyone should treat animals, so the animals don't do these things for real. It is important in the story that the animals know what to do around the farm and how to stay under control and not get misguided.
ReplyDeleteSome of the symbols of animal farm is the song they sing, chants, and the commandments. One that stood out was when the horse was talking about the bows and the pigs said its a weakness and a sigh of slavery. And then every Sunday the animals hold a flag-raising ceremony. The flag’s green background represents the fields of England, and its white hoof and horn symbolize the animals. The animals discover Mr. Jones’s gun where he dropped it in the mud. They place it at the base of the flagstaff, agreeing to fire it twice a year: on October 12th, the anniversary of the Battle of the Cowshed, as they have dubbed their victory, and on Midsummer’s Day, the anniversary of the Rebellion.
ReplyDeleteThere were many symbols that the animals used to represent themselves: The green flag that was hung above the farm. The flag had a a white hoof and horn which should that this was an animal farm. The flag changed over many year Napoleon took of the hoof and the horn and just made it a green flag. When the animals were plaing the rebellion Major taught them a song call "Beast of England". The song told of how the other farms around the world would be ruled by "beast" (animals) soon and that it would be coming. They animals around the farm would sing this song to remind them that they had accomplished what they had planed and that soon animals would rule over man. When the animals where free from Mr. Jones they would send out pidgens to sing this song to ohter animals in other farms(that were ruled by man) to tell them that they were free and that they would be free soon. The pidgens song soon would changed they began singing the song "Comrade Napoleon". The seven commandments that the animals had posted on the wall in the barn said: whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy, whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend, no animal shall wear clothes, no animal shall sleep in a bed, no animal shall drink alcohol, no animal shall kill any other animal, all animals are egual. These commandments soon changed in the story by Napoleon. He was making exception to the rules like "All animals are egual, but some animals are more egual than others". These symbols in the story should how he was being more of a deictator then a leader to the animals. I believe that the author put these symbol in the story to show how things changed over time.
ReplyDeleteThe symbol for this book is the different commandments that was painted on the wall..When they had first took control over the barn..THe commandments then was changed to make things easier for all the animals can learn how to read it. Then it had changed again..But most of them was more equal then others like the pigs..But I think that the author included it so we get Things a little more easier then the animals on the farm and how they should be treated..But another reason its done like this is so that the author show how to control more important things and get mis judged
