|| __Karl Marx__- He was a political philosopher in the 1800's whose ideas are reflected in the concept of socialism and communism. He was the Buddy the Elf of his day. || __Buddy the Elf__ - Karl is like Buddy the Elf because he honestly believed in the concept of sharing. || || __The Russian Media__- Squealer represents the Russian media which spread Stalin's version of the truth to the masses. Squealer represents that because he was the one who was like Napoleon's wing man. He rises to power with his quick wit and he spreads the word of Napoleon. || __The Inquirer__- The Russian Media is like The Inquirer magazine to me becuase The Inquirer made up a lot of things and was more one sided and wanted to be the one to get the word out and for people to listen to what they say. || || __The Mensheviks__- Benjamin is like the Mensheviks because they were more toward the side of equality. || __Martin Luther King Jr.-__ The Mensheviks are like Marting Luther King Jr. because he believed in equality more than anybody else I could think of, and was positive and split apart metophorically. || || __Stalin's Five Year Plan__- The windmill represents Stalin's Five Year Plan because just as the windmill was supposed to make the animals lives eaiser, the Five Year Plan was supposed to do the same and shorten the work. || __A Combine__- Stalin's Five Year Plan represents a combine for me because even though the Five Year Plan may not have worked out as it was supposed to, the combine was made to make work easier and it did. || || __Nazi-Soviet pact__- Napolean selling the wood to Fredrick represents the Nazi-Soviet pact because in real life the Soviet Union was concerned they would be invaded by Germany so they created an alliance between them. That is just like what happened in Animal Farm between the pigs and Fredrick. || __"The Lion and The Mouse"-__ The Nazi-Soviet pact is like the book The Lion and the Mouse because just like the pact, in the book the mouse is afraid he is going to be eaten by the lion so he promises to be his best friend and will help him out someday. || || The Collectivization in Russia- It was a policy pursued under Stalin. The goal of it was to consolidate individual land and labor into collective farms. || A Bracelet- The Collectivization in Russia reminds me of a bracelet because like making a bracelet, you take individual things and put it together to make one thing. || || The Russian Orthodox Church- The Russian Orthodox Church has a thousand year history of strong spiritual and political influence over the people of the Russian state. || A Grandpa- Moses reminds me of some grandpas because they are older and so don't really work' and they love to tell stories and even if you know they arent true, you still want to believe them. || 9. When the pigs said that they would wake up one hour later than everyone else, no one complained because they are the ones who control and no one could fight with them because Napoleon would make the dogs go after them. 10. Napoleon knew that Snowball destroyed the windmill because there were pig tracks leading up to it, and Snowball had been against the animal rebellion the whole time. 11. She says that times now are better than Jones. One reason is that the pigs didn't whip the animals in the beginning of the story, and Jones did.

 * __Old Major__- He was a great leader to the farm animals... He was like the Michael Jordan of his day.

 * __Thought Questions 9, 10 and 11__**

__**Russian Revolution**__ 5 Key players
 * 1) Bolsheviks: The Bolsheviks undisputed leader, was a man known by Lenin. The name Bolsheviks means majority men. The Bolsheviks party led the Russian Revolution.
 * 2) Tsar Nicholas: Nicholas II made the anti- Bolsheviks in Siberia. Nicholas reformed the Red Army in Russia. He was overthrown because he involved Russia in WWI.
 * 3) Marx; Lenin: Marx's grandfather was a Rabii, he had his entire family baptized for social reasons. He became editor of a paper in Cologne Germany, where his radical ideas got him in trouble. Because of it, he left to Paris to escape arrest. Lenin was a part of the Bolsheviks. He was part of forcing Nicholas out of power.
 * 4) Trotsky: He had joined the Bolsheviks party. He was one of the main thinkers behind the communists. The Five Year Plan was really his idea.
 * 5) Joseph Stalin: Premier of the Soviet Union. He was among the Bolsheviks revolutionaries who brought about the October Revolution

The Russian Revolution happened because the people wanted a Democracy. They wanted it because Russia was first a dictatorship. Not all people wanted a Democracy though.
 * Why Did It Happen?**
