Character Couplets

Some of you composed some pretty nifty couplets on the animals populating the farm. If you would like to see them published, submit them here. After I moderate them for spelling, sense and rhthym, onto the blog they will go!

Remember, first names only! :)

Placing Orwell in Perspective

Fate of the Farm


What do you think happens five or ten years after the book ends? Will Benjamin still be around?

Intervention


If you were the leader of a country and could intervene to reestablish equality on the farm, would you do so and why? Keep in mind, this would entail military action and a probable loss of life for some troops, although it would ultimately foster the growth of Animalism on the farm--and, of course, eliminate the ruthless tyranny of Napoleon.

Mete out Justice


Let's say you have the power to punish.


What would you do to Napoleon or Squealer?
