Differences in Animal Farm

The movie is very old, it was made in 1954. In the movie Mr. Jones goes back to the farm with other farmers. This does not happen in the book. Once Mr. Jones leaves in the book he stays gone. Also when Old Major dies is different in the book than in the movie. When he dies in the movie it is very dramatic. In the book it is not that dramatic, it just happens.

Reaction to Chapter 1

In chapter one of Animal Farm there was a big speach. Old Major was talking to all the anaimals about rebelling against farmer Jones. They all sang Beasts of England. I do not really like the book so far. There is a lot of characters and i think it is very confusing.

Song Lyrics for Uncle Willie

Life ain't always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down

This connects to Uncle Willie because he has
had a hard life. Things have gone wrong to
make him fall flat on his face.

Life ain't always beautiful
You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road at the end of the day

When things start going right for Uncle Willie
something also has to go wrong. Its like being on
the right road, but then having it end up being
a small, dead end allie.

But the struggle makes you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has it's own way of takin' it sweet time

Eventhough Uncle Willie has had a tought time
with life, he has overcome them. Uncle willie has
learned to deal with the things life dishes out and
make the best of it.

Still I Rise Poem

Still I Rise: By Maya Angelou

1. What is her poem about?
2. What lines seem interesting, almost cool to you?
3. Which parts can someone your age relate to? Why?

1.) I think her poem means that no matter how hard people try to shoot you down, you make make your self succeed.

2.) "You may shoot me with your words,You may cut me with your eyes,You may kill me with your hatefulness,But still, like air, I'll rise."

3.) "You may shoot me with your words,You may cut me with your eyes,You may kill me with your hatefulness,But still, like air, I'll rise." These lines are very useful to someone my age. High school can be mean. You can be fighting with your best friend, but you have to remember that you are your own person. Dont let other people control your feelings and the way you look at life. Thats why i like these lines!
