Animal Farm Movie Critique

There was a big difference in the movie and the book ANIMAL FARM!

Some of these differences are that in the movie Old Major is shot where in the book he wasn’t. The song BEASTS OF ENGLAND that was the main song in the book was not so in the movie. The movie changed the song to something else. My next reason is quite important because there was no Clover. Clover is important in the book and not having her in the book is a major issue. Jessie took the role of Clover and so the movie did have a figure that would be supportive of the other animals. When the humans came to fight the animals, they didn’t all have guns. In the movie, all the humans had guns where in the book only three were present. In the movie, Mollie leaves later than in the book. Towards the end, the book ends with Napoleon giving a speech but in the movie new farm owners turn up. Overall, I would think that the book was more interesting where the movie did a great job exaggerating the animal’s living conditions.

Animal Farm Post

I would say that my character is kind of like Napoleon only for his good qualities. Napoleon is a leader and one who would do anything to have his idea heard. Napoleon sacrifices many things to make the other animals happy. He would also work harder for them (Orwell pp.37). Napoleon is very trustworthy and everyone has hope in him. They also say that whatever Napoleon does is right (Orwell pp 37). The animals believe that Napoleon is a great leader (Orwell pp 55). These are some reasons why I believe i am like Napoleon.

Militaries in countries

I come from mainly two backgrounds. One is British and the other is Indian. In England, it is not necessary for one to join the army. India also doesn't enforce any such law. I believe that it is an honor to serve the country. India has a very large army and if everyone serves for two years each, India would have the largest and the biggest army in the world. Britain doesn't have a large army although if they have a law of serving in the military after college , it would also have a very good army. All in all it would be good if these kind of laws were enforced.

THE KING IS DEAD!!!

From my perspective, this is a relevant game. This game showed us how the colonists in America had to live with taxation without representation. Since we were the colonists in the game, we didn't have many chances to earn money. Therefore, we had no money to pay the taxes. Many of us were sent off to Georgia and some of us went on the treason list. The king was an exceptional example of tyranny. He ruled us in a manner of how King George the third would have treated the colonists of America. There was a lot of injustice with us. Our rights were taken away from us and we were taxed for no good reason. Towards the mid game some had self-determination to try to steal money from the king. We tried many times and failed. After the king caught us we were put on the treason list. After the king died we had all the money to ourselves and all the Taxes were repealed. THE KING DIED!!!

The 43rd war post

My partner and I strongly believe that this war took place in El Salvador. One reason is because tortillas and beans is a typical Central American dish. Another reason is that El Salvador has been having political problems for the past 12 years. 43 wars is possible to happen in that time span. Most of El Salvador’s population is Christian and in the book, whenever one used to die they put a cross gravestone with it. These are some reasons why my partner and I believe that this war took place in El Salvador.

The Declaration of Independence

When it becomes necessary for politics to separate the people, they should have a reason for doing it. All men are created equal and when the government doesn’t believe in that, it is our right and duty to change the government. Safety and happiness are your rights. You can only change the government when situations get really bad. King George has been unjust to us and it is our right and duty to change his government.

King George the third did much unjust with the colonists. Some of them were taxing them without their consent, for taking their lives and burning their cities and homes, cutting of their trade with the rest of the world. There were also some more such as, fighting against them, for taking away their rights, and also allowed many soldiers to do whatever they wanted to. For these reasons America changed their government.

We have tried all we could, by signing petitions and every time we did that, we were answered by injuries. It is our right to take away the rule of King George the third. Therefore, we the representatives of the United States of America, with the consent of all colonies and their people, come to an agreement that we have the right to be independent.
