Russian Revolution of 1917 Why Did It Happen???? The People of Russia were not satisfied, and were starving, poor etc. Russia split into two armies, one was Communist and lead by Lenin and the Bolsheviks. The other army wanted the Czar to continue to rule. Lenin won because most of the people supported him and liked his ideas.

 * Allegory || A Story..... each character represents or symbolizes something other than what it is.... ||
 * Satire || the use of sarcasm, irony, in a story...., to ridicule / poke fun at..... ||
 * Fable || a story that as a morale and it has animals as characters that can speak ||

|| Karl Marx - wanted everyone to be equal || Baroch Obama - wanted the United States to be perfect and thought he could do it if people elected him as president || worked his animalsand got drunk all the time overthrown by the animals || Tzar Nicholas - leader of Russia who wanted his way and was mean to the people, the people turned out to be unsatisfied, and were starving, poor, ect. || Muammar Gaddafi - was leader of Libya who made the people suffer, by killing them, who was overthrown || || The Russian Military......they are strong and very hard working, did everything their leader wanted them to do || The Middle Class.......they work really hard for there money and they work more than the rich or poor people do || || Stalin- The Five-Year-Plan was Stalin’s decision to collectivize agriculture. He thought that he could increase crop output by moving to large-scale mechanized farms, and by bringing the peasantry under direct control. Well the plan didn't work as well as he though and then there was a famine. He didn't help the people at all and just let them die. || My Parents- They make my siblings and I work if we want to participate in extra activities throughout the week and weekend. They don't starve us though adn they don't work us to hard. They say homework comes before chores too. || || The Great Purge- Took place between 1936 and 1938. Working to eliminate every last trace of the opposition, Stalin had executed or sent people to Gulag labor camps who could claim association with Leon Trotsky a military leader, and anyone that might possibly be labeled "anti-Soviet." The estimates of how many died in the purges ranges from about 500,000 up to 2 million. ||  || || Perfect Proletarian- they never complains; he is extremely loyal; and he literally works himself to death. Yet his reward is that he is sold off, slaughtered, and turned into glue. Meanwhile, the pigs are living lavish lifestyles in the farmhouse and getting drunk off cartons of whiskey. ||  || || The Tehran Conferencce- This took place in November of 1943, and was intended to map out a strategy to end World War II. It was a meeting of the leaders of the Big Three allied powers, jointly leading the fight against Hitler: Franklin Roosevelt of the United States; Winston Churchill of the United Kingdom; and Joseph Stalin of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. At the Tehran Conference, the Big Three hammered out agreements on several matters of great significance to World War II and, later, the Cold War. Stalin, whose soldiers on the Eastern Front were bearing the brunt of the war against Germany, got Churchill and Roosevelt to promise to open up a Western Front in France by the spring of 1944 by finally launching Operation. Churchill and Roosevelt also agreed, reluctantly, to allow Stalin to permanently change the borders of Poland, incorporating much of what had been eastern Poland into the Soviet Union. Many in the West saw this as a craven sellout of democratic principles… which it may have been. But it was a sellout that Churchill and Roosevelt saw as necessary to win the war. || Today it is like the meeting for school when they were getting rid of alot of teachers because of the budget cuts. ||
 * ~ Animal Farm Character / Items / Events from Animal Farm ||~ What it symbolizes for Orwell ||~ What it could symbolize today ||
 * Old Major......the pig that everybody relied on, thought he needed to start a rebellion for a perfect world where the animals were rule
 * Mr. Jones..... the leader of the Manor Farm who was mean and over
 * Boxer.......the horse.......very strong, does more work than everybody elsehe is very hard working and always faithful to the pigs. He isn't bright and absorbs everything that the pigs say. and worked overtime
 * Napoleon-He is making the animals work harder than ever. Meanwhile, Napoleon’s own hypocrisy is becoming increasingly apparent to anyone who is paying attention. The pigs have begun to sleep in the humans’ beds. Despite Napoleon’s initiative, there are widespread food shortages across Animal Farm. Napoleon quickly realizes that it was vitally necessary to conceal this fact from the outside world and he sends the sheep out to talk about their increased rations. At the same time, Napoleon has all the empty food bins in the store-shed filled with sand in order to hide the lack of food. Napoleon, like Stalin, is floundering to make his policies look like they are working, to give the illusion of strength when the farm is becoming increasingly weak.
 * The Hen's Rebellion- First, the hens refuse to give their eggs up to the pigs when the pigs want 400 eggs a week to buy food for the farm. The hens decide to tharw Napoelon and so he resolves to starve them until they change their minds. Most of the hens stay parched on the gutters of the house and drop the eggs so they will break. Several of the hens die, and the rest simply give up.
 * Goodbye Boxer- Squealer tells everyone that Boxer is going to be taken to a veterinary hospital in Willingdon for surgery. When the animals go to see Boxer off, Benjamin the donkey appears and starts crying that they are all idiots. He reads the side of the van to them: "Horse Slaughterer and Glue Boiler". All of the animals shout to Boxer that he must kick his way out, and he tries, but he cannot. A few days later, Squealer comes back and explains what happened. He says the surgeon purchased the van from the horse slaughterer, but that he has not yet changed the name. Napoleon holds the horse a memorial service, and ends it by reminding everyone of Boxer’s two favorite maxims: "I will work harder" and "Comrade Napoleon is always right".
 * Napoleon's Last Laugh- Animal Farm ends when there is a meeting between the pigs and the neighboring humans. The animals watch what is going on through a window as the pigs explain that there must have been some misunderstanding. They want to make it clear to the humans that they never meant to have the rebellion. In short, the pigs have hung the other animals out to dry – the Rebellion is dead.

 * ~ Lie ||~ Truth ||
 * Napoleon and the other pigs start sleeping in beds in the farm house. All the animals say that they thought that was a law that was broken. When they read the law on the wall in the barn, it states "No animals shall sleep
 * Napoleon started killing all the animals that confessed to what they had done wrong. Some of the animals remembered that the sixth commandment stated "No animal shall kill any other animal." Well Clover then asked Muriel to read the sixth commandment it read "No animals shall kill any other animal without cause." ||  ||
 * Napoleon startes drinking alcohol in the farm house at night. Well the fifth commandment states that "No animals shall drink alcohol." Well one night, everybody woke up to a loud crash in the far side of the barn. When the animals ran to where they heard the noise, they found a broken ladder with Squealer sprawled out beside it. In hand was a paint brush and next to him was a paint can. A few days later though, Muriel was reading through the commandments and found that the fifth commandment had changed to "No animal shall drink alcohol in excess." ||  ||
 * The statement "All animals are equal" says that they should all have the same rights and follow all the same rules. Also that no animal is better than any other animal. Well they are lying in this book because Napoleon gets to live in the house and the bed and gets more food than any other animal. They say that he works alot harder than all the animals on the farm. They are saying that if they want to never see Mr. Jones again they are going to have to follow Napoleons rule. ||  ||
 * Napoleon gets rid of the song "Beasts of England" because the Rebellion is over. Then he blamed Snowball for destroying the Windmill. ||  ||
