and he had 400 kids. || //Karl Marx//- Karl was a German philosopher, economist, and he invented socialism. He basically came up with the concept of communism, which he said was "Sharing." || For me, Old Major symbolized George Bush, because he was respected while he was in office, and Old Major was respected in his lifetime. So, George Bush's time in office was like Old Major's lifetime. || || To Orwell, Benjamin represented the older generation of Russia. The older generation is said to have criticized any new rebellions, like Benjamin. || In my mind, Benjamin is like the people who are not Bobcat or Griz fans, and could not care less about what happens on the field. Benjamin doesn't care what happens on the farm. VS. __Couldn't Care Less.__ || || To me, Boxer represents Draco Malfoy from //Harry Potter//, because they both work hard for their masters, but both of them have to draw the line somewhere. || || In my mind, the dogs symbolize Barrack Obama's secret service because they are basically the same thing. || || To me, the sheep represent groupies. Whatever happens they will always support Napoleon or Squealer. || || To me, Sugarcandy Mountain Represents the rain forest, because everything is calm and peaceful. || Thought Questions: 1.  I think the animals never ran away because they didn't want Napoleon to punish them or kill them. 2. The significance of the song "Beasts of England" was to explain how life would be after the Rebellion. The purpose it served in the Rebellion was to in fact, make the animals want to rebel. Allegory:
 * ~ Character/Item/Event from Animal Farm ||~ What it Symbolized for Orwell ||~ What it Symbolizes for Me ||
 * //Old Major//: He was an old pig who was well respected
 * //Benjamin:// Benjamin is an old donkey who is grumpy and doesn't care about the Rebellion.
 * Boxer: Boxer is an __extremely large__ horse, who has no desire to kill any living being, despite his size and look. He also possesses less than average intelligence.[[image:nmsutopia/boxer.jpg width="200" height="168"]] || In Orwell's mind, Boxer represented the working class. He was a very determined worker, and his motto was //" I will work harder!"//
 * The Puppies: The puppies are devoted followers of Napoleon. As soon as they were born, they were taken from their parents and were trained to be like a secret service for Napoleon. || In Orwell's mind, the dogs symbolized the military, ready to defend the Bolsheviks at any time during the revolution.
 * The Sheep: The sheep are devoted followers of Napoleon and are not very smart. They are always bleating "Four Legs Good! Two Legs Bad!" Which is really annoying if you think about it...... || For Orwell, the sheep are the masses at large. The people (like the sheep) would go along with whatever Napoleon or Squealer said.
 * //The Battle of the Windmill:// The Battle of the Windmill took place on the farm, and the windmill was destroyed, for the second time. Even more animals died here than in the Battle of the Cowshed. Unfortunately, this was a loss for the animals, not a victory.[[image:http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQzJo2g5-S1iN8Q3nn4d4IBk1Sb6MyE8IcZkryTdiZ2ozFqZC5RWnjBdOh0cA width="263" height="154"]] || To Orwell, the Battle of the Windmill represented Russia in WWII. Russia lost horribly, just like the animals.[[image:http://www.enchantedlearning.com/asia/russia/flag/Flagbig.GIF width="218" height="143"]] || o me, the Battle of the Windmill represents the fall of the Nazis in WWII. Th Nazis lost most of their power then, just like the animals.[[image:http://www.mytinyphone.com/uploads/users/archangel7/481113.gif width="224" height="167"]] ||
 * //Sugarcandy Mountain:// Sugarcandy Mountain was a place that Moses the raven claimed to have visited. Although Moses talked on and on about it, none of the animals ever went with him.[[image:http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRbf798gXDYgAfWcv0uWX8aqVhWZtFmrDWmYooMM7WDtCRwgRC0_qJLuDnlXA width="151" height="213"]] || To Orwell, Sugarcandy Mountain represented Heaven. Everything there is calm, peaceful, and kind.
