Rough Draft....(Ms.Melville)

In Animal Farm it is not the physical strong who survives it is the mental strong who survives. The book Animal Farm written by George Orwell, in 1945 in England. He most likely wrote this to criticize Stalin with him being a dictator and all of the people for being stupid and believing him. There are three characters in the story that was examples of this. Squealer, Benjamin, and Boxer.


The character Squealer twisted the story. When he was telling the other pigs that they where now able to sleep in the beds. "You have heard then, comrades, he sad we pigs now sleep in the beds of the farmhouse." When he knew that none of the animals where able to sleep in beds, which it said that in the seven commandments. There was something about the milk and apples he twisted that story to. He told the animals that the pigs stole the apples and milk for an important reason. Then when they found that Boxer died he lied about that story also. The real story was that Boxer got sold to the horse slaughter. He told the animals "Boxer went and died in a good hospital." Because Squealer was a master of twisting up stories, he ended up rich and powerful at the end of the story.


The next character is Benjamin, he was the animal that was specious about the stories people told him. He didn't get in to any trouble. Benjamin was specious about the storied because he knew how to read and he knew what everything said, and about the seven commandments he knew exactly what they read. He was the only one who didn't take peoples sides, he didn't like doing that. He didn't believe anyone. He said " food would not be plentiful", because there were lots of the animals and not enough food. Also, he said that "the windmill was not saving any work". When it came down to Boxer's death he didn't believe the story. He didn't believe the stories because he was able to read and he read what really happened to Boxer, and how he died. Since he didn't take sides and believe the others storied he survived safely.


The character Boxer believed everything he was told. When the animals were killed he want and asked questions. He asked Squelar and Napeolean on how the animals died. They were such good story tellers that they persuaded him into believing them on how they animals died. He asked " can we have one back, of what we had before?" No one answered. Boxer was staying loyal no matter what happened. He said " I will work harder then before." Then he stated " Naps are always better, for better work." Boxer believed them when they said that he was going to the hospital to get better. The real story was that they took him to the horse slaughter. Now that Boxer was an animal that believed everything he was told her got sold to the horse slaughter and got killed.


How the Animals deal with storied has a major impact on weather they survive. Since, Squealer was a master of twisting up stories, he ended up rich and powerful at the end of the story. Also, Benjamin did not believed they stories he was still alive and survived sly . The last character Boxer was giving to the horse slaughter and he got killed. This book gives a clear picture of what happens when a society is not educated enough to see through the lies they are being told through out their lives.

I have read the book "Eighty Years & more" By Elizabeth Cady Stanton. She was talking about how her and Susan B. Anthony were like best friends. She lived by her self. when she came home to visit her family she seen that her parents and her sisters attending the rochester meetings. Anthony was interested in the anti- slavery and temperance reforms, also she was a member of the organization called "The Daughters of Temperance", and she had spoken in some of those meetings they were holding. The "Woman's rights" foundation got her hooked. She thought that was a good foundation. From that moment on she was interested in the women's rights movement. She wanted to help every women to get their rights that should have. She went to movements, speeches, and even held her own meetings with others. When she tried to go to the people and argue how women should get their rights and African American men should be granted the same rights as white men. She was going around all over the world, and  she was making speeches about this. 

Introduction....

Even though the 19th amendment helped the women gain the right to vote. Susan B. Anthony was one of the most influnces. She was helping woman gain their rights. Her whole life she was fighting for her and other women rights. One time she went home on her vaction and she found out that her parents and her sisters were at a meeting. She had went to the meeting and she got involved in anti-slavery and the women's rights.  She was going to different countries and try to get people involved. She tried to go to the people and make them get her involved in the movements. Susan B. Anthony was involved in "The Daughters Of Temperance". She was involed in these movements until it was one month before her death. After she died, she was giving the right of the 19th amendment. That states that women have the right to voye and have freedom of speech. Thanks to Susan B. Anthony all woman have their rights.

Napoleon lied to the other animals for a lot of reasons. He lied because he wanted all of the animals to turn their backs on Snowball. One reason Napoleon was lying to the animals was because he wanted to kill Snowball. In the story, is says that Napoleon said to the animals, "Comrades here and now i pronounce the death sentence upon Snowball." Another reason he lied to the animals was because, he wanted to get his way through everything. To do this he was changing all of the amendments to the things he wanted them to believe, the animals could not read and they did not think that Napoleon would lie to them because he was a pig so they believed him. He did not have to talk for all of the animals to believe what he was saying the just did. The final reason he lied was because he wanted a lot of more power then Snowball. Napoleon trained the dogs to be attack dogs. He also made all o the animals start to work hared then they had to. Those are some ways why Napoleon lied to the animals.

Third Annotation...

This article was about Susan B Anthony and her life, and how she become involved in the woman's rights movements. She thought that all women were suffering. In 1861, she took the 13Th amendment to abolish slavery. Also, in 1865 is took the 14Th and 15Th amendments to get the woman's rights and the African American males. The people that were against abolishing slavery just brushed her to the side and continued doing what they were doing, because they thought that, that was not the right to to worry about women's suffrage. Susan and the 15 Rochester comrades became the first women to vote. Since they were that bare to vote knowing that they were not suppose to, they got arrested and Susan took that to the supreme courts as a case. She stated "Is it wrong for an citizen to vote?", but she lose the case and she was set on bail for $1,000. The rest of her life she was working for the Federal suffrage amendment. Still tyring to get woman their rights. Just one month before she died, she attended her last suffrage convention. She made her last speech, stating "Failure is impossible" she knew that woman were going to get their rights some day or another. After her death only in 4 states they women were granted the right to vote. Also, 14 years later after her death, the amendments that stated that woman had rights was posed to the Constitution which is now the 19Th amendment.

Second Annotation

Susan B. Anthony was once a teacher in a school, and one day she found out that male teachers got paid more the female teachers. She took this to a the campaign that they were having, when she went to go up and have a speech they told her that she couldn't make a speech. Since, Anthony was a very strong women she had the women's rights movement started. Her and Stanton were creating a news paper and they called it "The Revolution" this ment to give the men their rights and nothing more, and give the women their rights and nothing less. In order for her to press a test case of her belief that women, as citizens, could not be denied the ballot, Anthony voted. She was tried, convicted and fined for voting illegally. She didn't really care becuase she wanted to show them on how she felt about women's rights. She travled around the country to let every women knoe about their rights. Until she started to die. She couldn't do anything anymore.

The first annotation.

Susan B. Anthony was a women who was fightin for women suffrage. After the Civil War, discouraged that those working for "Negro" suffrage were willing to continue to exclude women from voting rights. So she started to look into women voting more. She helped to found the American Equal Rights Association in 1866, and in 1868 with Stanton as editor, became publisher of Revolution. In 1872, she atempted that the constitution said that women can vote, so Susan B. Anythony voted in Rochester, New York, in the presidential election. She was found gulity of voting so they tried to make her a fine for voting. She refused to pay anything. They made her pay. She also, didn't believe in abortion she thought that the men, laws and double standard lead women into getting an abortion. Susan was mad that the fifteenth amendment pu tthe word "male" into the constitution for the first time in permitting suffrage for freedmen. She also, stated that educated white woman would be better voters than "ignorant" black men or immigrant men. In 1860's she said that the voting for freedom was a danger to the white women, she did not want to black people to be freed.



This article was helpful to my resreach because it said how she was fighting for woman's rights but at the same time, she was very racisit and i didn't know all f this information about her.

"The most dangerous game."

Ms. Melville
English

In the story “The Dangerous Game”, I think the character Zaroff believed in liberty more then equality. These are the three reason’s why I believe that. When the story first introduces Zaroff it says how he lives on an island that he brought just for hunting. On this island he hunted animals and human, he thought hunting human would be more fun since he killed so many animals, and he was tried of hunting down animals. In the story it states that Zaroff said, “ Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and if need be taken by the strong.” Also, he doesn’t mind if people was to get killed. Zaroff would put men into training camps and train them to be just like him so when he goes to hunt them down it would be more of a challenge, and more fun. He put Rainsford into one of those camps so they can battle each other, Rainsford was better than Zaroff so he got even angrier and tried to kill him more, but he died in the end of their battle. At the end of the story, I believe Zaroff stills values liberty more. Another reason is because he says, “ I am strong, why should I not use my gift?, If I wish to hunt why should I not?”. In this statement I think he was trying to say if he wants to do something why should he listen to anybody?, and also, is he wishes to do something then he will do it. Those are the three reasons why I believe that Zaroff values liberty more than equality.
