The theme in Animal Farm is the constant rivalry between man and pig. Throughout the story they fight for the farm. It shapes the novel by the characters going through hard times, and leading the animals and humans to become equal, with no differences or problems. Some of the characters were affected by the battle between human race and animals. For example,Snowball was driven off of animal farm, The animals were treated like slaves, Pigs began to walk on their hind legs, and Boxer got taken to the slaughtering house.
ReplyDeleteThis teaches me that when someone tries to dictate to stand your ground and not give in when you disagree or to think about what the effect might be.
The setting of the story is all the animals are rebelling against the humans and fighting to keep the farm. The setting has been in the first fighting seen where they take over the farm, and the second one which is where they held off Mr. Jones again, but one of the animals friend died, and lastly the third fight where it was Frederick who blew up the animals wind mill, (which had already fell down before)enraged the animals and pushed back his men for another win. It shapes the novel by most of the animals learning to work hard and never give up and to always have faith in what you do. The theme teaches me to never give up in anything I do and to always work hard and have faith, and that God is with you wherever you go.
ReplyDeletethe theme is basically about the pigs and the man and how the pigs and animals are trying to get there farm from the farmers and workers. this shapes the story troughot the story because go through difficult times and struggle for there lives, so in life we have to fight what is ours and make sure u do it in a respectful way this affected the animals because some got drven off, killed and some had to walk just on there two legs. this teaches me that yuo should do right with people and all you do just do it through christ.
ReplyDeleteThe setting of the story the rivalry between man and pig. throught most of the story the men keep fighting to keep the farm. it shapes the novel by the characters going through bad time, and leading the animials and men to become equal like communism. Most of the characters were affected by the battle between the human race and animals. It teaches me when someone tries to have control over something your in charge of to stand up for whats yours.
ReplyDeleteThe theme of the story is the animals fighting against the humans to keep the farm. This shapes the story by the some of the animals going through difficult times and leading the animals and men to be the same. Some of the characters were affected by some getting killed and driven off of the farm (Example Napoleon got the other animals to go against snowball so he can become the leader) The theme teaches me to never give up, to work hard, and Fight for what's yours
ReplyDeleteThe theme of Animal Farm is animals trying to take over humans. The humans tried to get his farm back but the animals fight him off. The animals try to learn the ways of the humans and how to read and write. The animals start to go through things that make them feel guilty and it makes them question there leader. The theme teaches me that everyone is different and have different options and we should be open to them but also stand up for what we think.
ReplyDeleteIn "Animal Farm" the theme changes three times. In the begining of the book when the animals where going controlled by Mr. Jones they were working together to try and change things. When they finaly got rid of Mr. Jones the pigs become incharge(because there suposed to be the smartest)and change the way thing are run at the animals farm. for instance: the pigs have most of the say in how the farm is run and controle how the other animals work. Napoleon and Snowball (the main pig leaders)have two difforent ways in how the farm should be run. Snowball wanted to creat a windmeal to protuce electric endery for the farm while Napoleon wanted to produce for crops and bring i more money for the farm. So they had a debate to see who would have the best idea for the farm, Napleon tricked Snowball and had his dogs run after him and chace him out of the farm. This is spaping the novel by showing the reader that things and the animal change over time and become difforent. This is important to the novel because it gives the reader more interest in the book, and wants the the reader to keep on reading because you never know what will happen next. Now that Napleon is the main leader of the farm things change: the animals become more like slaves, the pigs are getting more privleges than the other animals, and Napleon is becoming more of a dictator than a leader to the animals. The difforent themes teach me that you have a right to stand up for what you believe in and follow others, but when the follower becomes more of a dictator and does the wrong thing you should alwasy think about if you are doing the right thing by following them.
ReplyDeleteThe theme of the story is the animals and humans fighting for all that propery..This shapes throughout the story by them going through some bad rough times..Then they just come together and become equal...A lot of them became affected by losing many of their frinds..This teaches me to do rite and set good goals out for myself at all times...
