Spontaneous Demonstration. || Spontaneous Demonstration was an event done every Sunday that remembered Animal Farm's ups and downs throughout the ages. The marched in a line and remembered all they had done on the Animal Farm. || How is this significant for Napoleon? || Moses didn't work or do anything except tell animals of Sugarcandy Mountain, yet Napoleon still allowed him a gill of beer a day, and he was allowed to stay on the farm after being gone for years. This in my opinion portrays Napoleon as uncaring. As long as the animal is not a threat of rebelling, they can stay.

Describe Squealer's cover up of this event. || Boxer was always working and was a great friend to all the animals. He was their role model because of this.

Explain the meaning of this and how it affects Napoleon's power. || Napoleon uses this example to frighten the other animals even more.

This increases Napoleon's power, only because it scares the animals so bad they won't do anything about it. || does this reveal about clover? || Clover sings the song because it fits the context and is a good memory of the ones lost. This reveals Clover as sympathetic and passionate towards the other animals. || true reason? || Napoleon tells Squealer to tell the animals that the song has no more use because it speaks of the perfect society, which he believes he has already brought to them. The true reason is the song gives the animals hope, the one thing Napoleon doesn't want the animals to have, because if there's hope, there might be rebellion. || evidence for this. || Napoleon a.) keeps lying to the animals about why things are happening on the farm, either blaming them on Napoleon or one of the farmers, or b.) changing the commandments to suit his needs. || image? || Napoleon is treat like a king, and this poem just says all this stuff about how wonderful he is, and how life would be terrible without him.

Now with Snowball out of the way, Napoleon could have all the power to himself. || Jone's rule and Napoleon's rule. || Life under Jones was miserable because he abused them and didn't care about them.

Describe this technique. Would you consider it propaganda? Explain. || Squealer explains why Napoleon did what he did.

He will work endlessly to get a job done. If something doesn't work at first, he tells himself, "I will work harder." || establish credit for this? || Napoleon steals Snowball's plans and ideas and then takes credit for the windmill. Napoleon says he was for it since the beginning, and all that he was saying about being against it was a plan. || Find examples of this. Describe how the animals are forced to accept these changes. || The pigs begin sleeping in the farmhouse beds. Napoleon changes the commandment so that it's "No sleeping in a bed with sheets." Squealer assures them, though, that this is for the pigs welfare, and that they are making these old rules up. He also warns them that Mr. Jones might come back and that scares them into clamming up. || novel so far.

 * ~ Character/Item/Event from Animal Farm ||~ What It Symbolized for Orwell ||~ What It Symbolizes For You (In Today's World) ||
 * Old Major- The most well respected animal in Manor Farm History- believed all animals were good and all men were evil.

|| Karl Marx- Was a German philosopher who came up with the concept of Marxism. Marxism is the belief of capitalism and today, communism. He believed all men should have the same amount of work. Old Major believed that Mr. Jones was taking advantage of the animals, and thought everyone should be equal. Karl Marx had the same idea, which is why he symbolizes Old Major.

|| Hutterites- They believe that everyone in the colony should have equal amount of work and that nobody should get more than others. || the animals took over. They overall took advantage of the animals and were pretty sloppy people. || Tsar Nicholas II and Old Russia- He was the last leader before the Russian Revolution. He was unkind to the people of Russia and saw them turn from a great economic country, to the exact opposite. He was imprisoned after the Revolution, and then killed with the Bolsheviks later on.
 * Mr. and Mrs. Jones- They ruled the farm before

|| Slobodan Milošević - Ruled Serbia from 1989-1997. He was arrested many times for crime against the citizens and his enemies, just like Nicholas II.

|| up late to Old Major's meeting where she flaunts her mane and ribbons. When the Seven Commandments are issued, she asks if she can keep the ribbons.
 * Mollie- Portrayed as pretty dumb, she even shows

|| The Bourgeois Class- They were not 100% unfaithful to the Bolsheviks, but didn't do a lot when the revolution started. They made no sacrifices for the new Russia, and when asked to, they fled Western.

|| Me When Asked To Clean My Room- I am to say the least, not inclined to clean my room, so like Stalin's Russia, I am not willing to make sacrifices and when asked to, I go into hiding.

|| trained them and, when the time came, had them chase Snowball out of the leadership picture, actually quite literally.
 * The Nine Dogs- The dogs Napoleon took and raised as his own. He

|| The NKVD- Stalin's secret police force. They assassinated Trotsky (Snowball) to get him out of the picture, so Stalin could take control of Russia.

|| Spies- They work for the government secretly and get rid of people when told to. They are a lot like the NKVD except they aren't used for evil purposes. (Or are they...)

|| all their eggs will be sold the Whymper so they rebel, Napoleon then decreases their rations. Then animals start confessing to thoughts of rebelling, and Napoleon has his dogs kill them.
 * The Hen Rebellion/ Napoleon's Piles of Corpses- The hens are told

|| The Great Purge- This was when Stalin tried wiping out anybody who opposed him. Anybody working with Trotsky or anti-Soviet was executed immediately or sent to Gulag labor camps.

|| The Holocaust- Like Stalin wiping out people who opposed him, Hitler wiped out people who opposed him, and the Jews! The Holocaust was more like wiping out the Jews, and the Great Purge wasn't trying to wipe out everybody, just people associated with Trotsky.

|| During this meeting, they did toasts, played cards, and had a great time, but in the end, the animals couldn't tell the pigs and the humans apart.
 * The Final Meeting- The meeting between the pigs and the farmers.

|| The Tehran Conference- The meeting was between Theodore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin to try to put an end to World War II. This meeting was also when the Cold War thought to have started.

|| War Meetings- The Tehran Conference was a war meeting, but there are a lot of war meetings still going on today. Over Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya... The U.S. is dealing with a lot of wars right now!
