Dec 3/10 Justin JM  Animal Farm Journal # 1( pages 1 - 25)

I chose Animal Farm as my novel because it was always a book that I have always wanted to read since I had first heard about the story. I first heard about the story in grade 8 when Rachelle did a novel study on the book. That novel study got me really interested in the book and the plot, so much in fact it made me want to read the book. When I started to read Animal Farm I knew the really basic plot outline, animals kick humans out of farm and pigs take over. That was all I really knew about the book, it was enough to get me interested. I probably wouldn’t have read the book if I just went by the name. So you kind of have to know the really basic plot outline to get interested in the book and start reading it. When you finally start reading the book it starts off with how the animal are unhappy with the farmer and how bad he treats them, starving them, beating them, and working them to death. In the beginning the animals gather to see what the wisest animal on the farm has to say about the cruelty they, the animals, have been through before he dies. The wise animal said that a time was coming that the animals will rise and over throw the humans and start to live free again like the good old days when animals where free. That is what basically happens before the main plot to the novel began. When the main plot of the novel begins in Chapter 2 the animals have over thrown the humans of the farm and are in the middle of getting organized to stay a live and setting up a democracy. In all Animal Farm is a good book to read so far.

At the beginning of this section the animal have just started to bring in their first harvest of hay. The animal where so happy that they were finally going to have food to eat that was their own, made by them and only for them. They story also explains the work schedule for the animals. The story also elaborates on the structure of the animal society. Then the story goes on to tells us that Napoleon, one of the leading pigs, takes in the litter of puppies that month. So the story progresses without very many changes expect that you start to see the first seeds of corruption with the pigs ordering that all the windfall apples, most of the apple harvest and the milk be reserved only for the pigs at the end of the chapter.

In the next chapter that fallows the farm starts to hear rumors of an attack by Jones to get his farm back. So that animals go to battle against the humans with Snowball as their leader, and they won. Also at the end of the chapter the animals create an honorary medal for bravery and other things called ” Animal Hero, First Class and Second Class”. The very first of these medals went to Snowball for his bravery.

Finally in the last chapter of this section a horse named Mollie left the Farm because she had broken one of the Ten Commandments. When Mollie left the Fa rm S nowball was in the middle of devising different schemes to improve the farm and to better the lives of the animal that lived there. Napoleon was ever opposing the ideas of Snowball and said that they would come to nothing. Napoleon was the most opposed to Snowball’s idea of building a windmill to produce power. So one day when Snowball was trying to convince the animal to agree to the building of a windmill and Napoleon was trying to get the animals to not build the windmill, Napoleon revealed that in truth Snowball as a traitor and that he was a spy for Jones since the beginning.

**Who is telling the story? How does this person’s perspective affect the way the story is told? **

A third person narrator is telling the story. The narrator’s point of view is neutral so it does not affect the story at all. The narrator just tells the reader what happened and some of the animal’s feelings. So the narrator’s perspective is irrelevant. Though if the narrator told the reader some of the other animal’s feelings, for example the pigs, the reader’s sympathies may have lied some were else.

**What is the setting of the novel? Is the setting important or could the novel be happening anywhere? Why? **

The novel is set in England around the 19th century. The setting is not important because the novel could have happened anywhere. The sort of thing that is described in //Animal Farm// happened everywhere in the world. The story could have just easily happened in Alberta. SETTING INCLUDES A DESCRIPTION OF THE LOCATION THE STORY TAKES PLACE IN, NOT JUST IDENTIFYING A GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION. SETTING ALSO INCLUDES DESCRIPTION OF MOOD AND ATMOSPHERE.

**What is the initial or first problem faced by the main character? **

The first problem that the main characters faced was how to expel Jones and the other humans so that they could start to be and live free. WHAT CONTRIBUTES TO THIS INITIAL PROBLEM? MORE DETAIL TO THE QUESTIONS. THE PLOT OUTLINE SHOULD NOT BE THE FOCUS OF THE JOURNAL ENTRIES. 8/10

Is it easy or hard to follow the events? ** <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">The style of the novel is very easy to fallow <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> because the story does not flip flop between different story points. The novel also has a very simple plot line that transforms in a very smooth manner. <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">AGAIN, MORE DETAIL TO THE QUESTIONS.STATE YOUR RESPONSE AND SUPPORT YOUR IDEAS. 7/10

** Jan 8/11 Justin JM ** ** Animal Farm: Journal Entry 4 PG 86-105 ** ** Plot Outline ** <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">In this section of Animal Farm two major events happened. First Napoleon had sold the seasoned wood that was at the farm to Fredrick instead of Pilkington, as everyone thought. This event created bad relations between the farm and Pilkington. But, still the deal went on between the farm and Fredrick. Fredrick wanted to pay for the wood with a cheque but, Napoleon insisted that Fredrick pay for the wood in cold hard cash. So Fredrick paid for the wood in five pound notes, unbeknownst to the animals till a couple days later the notes were forgeries and that Fredrick was going to attack the farm. The attack by Fredrick on the farm was the first major event in this section of the novel. The attack was totally one sided till Fredrick’s men blew up the windmill that the animal’s had worked so hard on. The windmill was the pride and joy of the animal’s and when it was blown up it totally the animal’s rage was so great that they didn’t even care that Fredrick’s bullets was hurting them and killing them. Though eventually the animals won the battle and eventually expelled Fredrick from the farm. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">The second big event in this section of the novel was that Boxer, the horse, died. After the battle with Fredrick the animals set out to start rebuilding the windmill with Boxer at their head. Boxer one night was working on the windmill all alone without anyone to help him because he wanted to get a lot more done on the windmill before he retired. Boxer was pulling too large a rock when he fell down and broke many things. Napoleon then decided that Boxer would go to a veterinary hospital, which in reality was a hacker. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">The one small thing that happened in this section was that the pigs had started to make and drink beer.

** Is the language in the novel difficult or easy? Give examples and explain. ** <span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">The language in Animal Farm is pretty easy to understand. The book doesn’t use really long or complicated words. Though the book does sometimes uses Old English words that most people don’t know the meaning of so you have to read over the sentence or maybe the paragraph to find the meaning. An example of the Old English writing in the book is in the song Beasts of England, here is how it goes. //<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Beasts of England, Beasts of Ireland, // //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Beasts of every land and clime, // //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Hearken to my joyful tidings // //<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> Of the Golden future time. //

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">All the highlighted words are from Old English and aren’t in frequent use today. //Hearken// means to listen and //clime// is a different word for climate. Finally //o’er// is just an abreaction to the word //over//. As for the modern words there are a few words that are a little long and hard to find the meaning like the word tyrannize, which actually means to exercise absolute power or control esp. cruelly or oppressively.

** To what age group is the novel aimed? Support your answer with evidence. **  This novel is aimed at a really wide age group. I would personally say that the age group is in between 8+. I think this because the words in the book are really easy to read and understand. That allows the book to be aimed at such a young age group. Also the fact that it includes animals and has a little bit of action <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">mixed in adds to the reasoning for having the book aimed at a young age group of boys and girls. This book can also be read by an older age group because the book has a deep meaning and theme to the book. The theme and meaning of the book is difficult to find which makes this book great for an avid adult reader. The book also allows the adult reader to choose the meaning and theme of the book from many choices. So that will work the brain in a way that avid readers will enjoy. The book is a nice quick read so that for avid readers and light readers it is just right length to still capture the attention of the crowds.

** Is there a message or main theme emerging in the book? How is it shown? **

<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">Are three major messages starting to emerge from Animal Farm in the form of cleverly given advice. The messages that are sent through the novel are that //one shouldn’t try so hard to not be something that they hate because you could become what you hate, everything is not what it seems to be, and that you can’t trust everyone.//

<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">The message //one shouldn’t try so hard to not be something that they hate because you could become what you hate//. This is a message that runs throughout the story, at first the pigs, like the rest of the animals, hated humans and their cruelty to them but, as the novel progresses the pigs trying to be so different from the humans start to act like the humans did. The pigs had started to become what they hated.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">The message //everything is not what it seems to be// is a very true message in the case of this novel and, in fact, life. This is a message that takes a prominate role in the story when Snowball is found out to be a traitor. Snowball was at first what seemed to be one of the most loyal of Animal Farm’s citizens but, when Napoleon showed the whole farm what Snowball really was every animal was shocked. Snowball had made everyone think that he was what he seemed to be but, then mighty Napoleon discovered that Snowball was the traitor and that not everything is what it seems to be. Napoleon then taught this lesson to the rest of the animals but, only one learned it, the donkey Benjamin. Benjamin showed that he knew meaning of the message first when the humans tried to attack the Farm a second time after the first attempt failed. The humans had looked like they were unable to do anything to the windmill but Benjamin know that they were going pack blasting powder into a hole in the rocks. Benjamin then showed that he had learned the message again when Napoleon had said that he would send Boxer to an animal hospital but, instead he sent Boxer to the hacker, the place that was hated by every farm animal. Napoleon had tricked every animal on the farm including Benjamin till the day that Boxer had to be taken but, then Benjamin found out about the lie and told every other animal about it.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">The message //you can’t trust everyone// is learned and shown twice in the novel. First when Napoleon revealed that Snowball was actually a spy for Jones. This came as a big shock to all the animal’s because they had thought of Snowball as one of the most trustworthy animal on the Farm. All the animals on the Farm should have learned the lesson then but, they didn’t. It wasn’t until the second time that the animals started to learn the lesson after Napoleon had Boxer sent to the hacker. Clover and Benjamin had trusted Napoleon to help Boxer but, he then sold Boxer to the hacker betraying the trust of the animals. After that incident not all the animals trusted Napoleon completely now, after him being the most trust worthy animal on the Farm. Thus the message had started to get through to some of the animals.

** Jan 11/11 Justin JM ** ** Animal Farm: Journal Entry 5 PG 106-120 ** ** Plot Outline ** <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">This section of Animal Farm is not very eventful. All that really happens in this section is the continuation of Napoleon’s tyranny rule of the Farm. He reduces food rations for all the animals but, him, the other pigs, and his dogs. Napoleon then starts to increase the time that the other animals work, except of course the pigs and his dogs. Finally he allows all the pigs to start wearing clothes, breaking one of the Ten Commandments like he did before with the beer, and then all the pigs started learning how to walk on two legs instead of four as one of the Commandments called for. At the very end of the novel Napoleon hosts a diner for the pigs and local farmers that lets the animals finally see that the pigs had become identical to the men they had first hated or possibly even worse.

** Describe any new characters that are introduced? What is their purpose? ** <span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">There aren’t very many new character introduced in Animal Farm. Animal Farm really in sense starts with the same characters that it ended with. Though there are a few exceptions, for example Napoleon’s guard dogs. They were first introduced to the book a little while after the Rebellion happened. They were only mention in one paragraph and then disappeared from the novel till Napoleon took over the Farm with their help. They helped Napoleon because he had taken them away as pups and trained them to obey his orders and to be only loyal to him. So essentially they were brought back into the novel as different characters because Napoleon had changed their personalities so much. <span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">Three other characters were introduced to the novel, Mr. Pilkington, Mr. Frederick, and Whymper. All of these men are humans. Whymper is introduced to the novel after the expulsion of Snowball from the Farm. Whymper is brought into the novel as Napoleon’s mouth and ears for the outside world. Whymper also conducts all the business between the farm and the rest of the world. <span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">Mr. Pilkington is a farmer whose farm border’s Animal Farm. He had his eye set on the farm from the very beginning. He is brought into the novel as an antagonist to the Farm. Pilkington has helped with attacks on the Farm and refused to help the Farm when it was under attack. Pilkington will not help those who double cross him like Napoleon did and therefore the whole Farm. <span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">Mr. Frederick is also a farmer whose farm borders the other side of Animal Farm. Just like Pilkington Frederick had his eyes on the Farm since the beginning. Mr. Frederick was an antagonist to the Farm, just like Pilkington. Frederick had helped with attack on the Farm and had also launched his own attack on the Farm that had destroyed the second windmill. To further Frederick’s antagonistic behaviour to the Farm the author had Frederick buy wood from the Farm but, instead of paying with real pound notes he paid with counterfeit notes. Frederick as a character is a lying, conniving, treacherous, man who has no or little respect for animals.

** What is the climax of the novel? ** <span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">The climax in Animal Farm is when Snowball, the pig, is expelled from the Farm. That event is the climax of the novel because all the events after that is just fallout from the expulsion of Snowball and the rise of Napoleon’s power over the Farm. The Farm with Snowball there was a happy Republic that used democracy as the main form of government. The animal were all happy, had lots to eat, they felt free, and they all felt equal. This is part of the rising action in the novel because the reader is still finding things out about the Farm and how it works. After Snowball was expelled from the Farm Napoleon took over and started a rule of tyranny and dictatorship. In the time after Snowball was expelled the animals had started to get more miserable, hungrier, and an inequality had started to develop between the pigs and the other animals. The other animals started to take over the pig’s share of work making the work hours longer and longer, while the pigs got lazier and lazier. This all is part of the falling action in the novel because the Farm is going into a slow decay where nothing new or really interesting happens; therefore the time between when Snowball was expelled and the time Napoleon took control was the climax.

** Is the novel believable? ** <span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">I would say that Animal Farm is a believable novel because animals do have a capacity to think, though not to the level that is in the novel. Animals turn on us all the time; sometimes they take on the forms of stampedes, domestic dog attacks, or even a cat scratching you. The novel is also believable because it reminds us humans that animals do have feelings and that they can hurt us as a people if we don’t respect them. This novel is made real by the fact that humans do act the way that the humans in the novel did.

Jan 12/11 Justin JM <span style="display: block; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: center;"> Animal Farm: Character Focus: Napoleon Napoleon is a Berkshire boar that is a main antagonist in Animal Farm. Napoleon character is rather large in size and fierce-looking. Napoleon is not much of a talker but, for some reason usually gets his way. Napoleon likes to act tricky and double-cross people. He uses the stupidity of others, or so thought stupidity, to advance his own ends. Napoleon does just this when he double-crosses Pilkington in the wood deal and sells the wood to Frederick. He had said no to the cheque that was offered and instead told Frederick to pay him in pound notes. Napoleon had thought that Frederick would actually pay him with real notes but, Frederick then gave him fake ones instead. Napoleon also thinks that he is better than everyone else. Napoleon in the story implied that the pigs would be the only ones who would not have their food rations cut in the winter, making the pigs separate from the other animals because they eat better than everyone else. Napoleon wanting to further the thought that he was better than everyone else, including the pigs, had declared that he would be the only animal on the farm to eat sugar. This action made Napoleon totally separate from everyone else by the fact that he had special privileges that no one else had, thus making himself a person of more importance than the other animals of the Farm. Napoleon thinks that humans are a stupid race of beings when compared to that of animals. When Napoleon thinks of the other animals on the Farm he sees them as inferior beings only to be used to advance his own ends, though at the same time Napoleon sees that the other animals on the Farm are the key to all his success. So in order for him to further succeed he shows fake faith and proudness in the other animals. Napoleon thinks and acts like he is far superior to everyone else. He acts like people and animals should worship or bow down to his greatness. Napoleon also acts like he is the greatest being whoever existed and is the only saviour of Animal Farm in their times of need. He acts like this because he is the one who showed the treachery of Snowball. Napoleon reacts with false concern to the complaints of the animals of the Farm. He shows this when Clover, the horse, asked him for help and said that he would send Boxer to a hospital but, instead he sent Boxer to the hacker. Napoleon is important to the novel because he is the character that makes all the major decisions that lead up to the ending of the novel with the pigs acting exactly like the humans they had hated. Napoleon was also the one who exposed Snowball for what he was, allowing himself to take control of the Farm and change the farm unopposed. He is also important to the novel because he is the one who decided to let humans back on to the Farm. I personally would not like to be Napoleon because he is just so mean and evil in my option. Napoleon has no compassion to his fellow animals and he only cares about those who serve his own ends. He doesn’t respect anyone in the novel. He will also double-cross anyone just because he thinks that he is smarter than them, like with the case with the firewood sale, he is a weasel. I couldn’t handle being like that to everyone I met and not to mention all of my peers as well. I couldn’t handle being so much like a weasel too. I don’t think Napoleon would be a good friend to me because he wouldn’t respect me as a friend or as a person. Napoleon would only manipulate me to help him achieve what he wanted and not what I wanted or for the better of everyone else. Napoleon would also lie and be untrue to me as a friend and those are two qualities that I look for in my friends. So Napoleon would not make a good friend to me.
