...Animal Farm George Orwell Book Review 1 Mr and Mrs Jones are owners of a Farm in England. On night, while the Mr Jones is sleeping, the animals join together in the barn on Old Major’s (an old pig) initiative. The pig had a revelation during the night: “the man is the enemy of all animals and we must get rid of him”. Everybody agree and they sing together. The noise wakes up the farmer who shoots on them. Three nights later, Old Sage dies. Then, Napoleon, Snowball and Squealer, three other pigs create a new philosophical system: Animalism. They begin to lead the other animals. Mr Jones can’t work anymore because of alcoholism so some workers must take care of the farm. They are very mean and the animals have nothing to eat. The animals rebel and scare away workers and Mrs. Jones. Now they are alone in the farm. They destroy everything and keep only the home of the farmers as a museum. Pigs learn to read, rename the farm "Animal Farm" and write on the wall the "Seven Commandments" of the Animalism: Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. No animal shall wear clothes. No animal shall sleep in a bed. No animal shall drink alcohol. No animal shall kill any other animal. All animals are equal. Cows do not feel well because no one can milk them. The pigs run it and then leave the milk out. The evening, the milk disappears. Animals live happy, better than with man. However, some animals work less than others...

...A TEACHER’S GUIDE TO THE SIGNET CLASSIC EDITION OF GEORGE ORWELL’S ANIMAL FARM By HAZEL K. DAVIS, Federal Hocking High School, Stewart, OH S E R I E S W. GEIGER ELLIS, ED.D., E D I T O R S : UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, EMERITUS and ARTHEA J. S. REED, PH.D., UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, RETIRED A Teacher’s Guide to the Signet Classic Edition of George Orwell’s Animal Farm 2 INTRODUCTION Animal Farm is an excellent selection for junior and senior high students to study. Although on one level the novel is an allegory of the 1917 Russian Revolution, the story is just as applicable to the latest rebellion against dictators around the world. Young people should be able to recognize similarities between the animal leaders and politicians today. The novel also demonstrates how language can be used to control minds. Since teenagers are the target not only of the educational system itself but also of advertising, the music industry, etc., they should be interested in exploring how language can control thought and behavior. Animal Farm is short and contains few words that will hamper the reader’s understanding. The incidents in the novel allow for much interactive learning, providing opportunities for students to dramatize certain portions, to expand on speeches, and to work out alternative endings. The novel can be taught collaboratively with the history department as an allegory of the Russian Revolution, allowing students to draw parallels...

...guidelines you should keep in mind when writing a literary analysis essay. Remember, there often is no right or wrong answer – what really matters is proving your thesis with evidence! One tip you should keep in mind while writing a literary analysis essay is that you should always write in the present tense and never in the past tense. For example, you might write “In George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm,’ the animals take over the farm and develop their own independent society” rather than “In George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm,’ the animals took over the farm and developed their own independent society.” Another tip is you should also avoid putting yourself into the literary analysis. This means you should write in the third person and never use the words “I” or “you.” There may be exceptions to this rule, however, depending upon your instructor. In fact, some will request a more informal literary analysis that will include the usage of these words. When in doubt, however, it is safer to use the third person. Since literary analysis essays are not meant to simply be a book review or summary of the book, you should not retell the story in your essay. Rather, you need to form a thesis about the piece of literature and then explain and support the thesis you have developed. Although you are not summarizing the plot when you write a literary analysis, you will need to pull elements from the plot when writing your literary analysis. For example, when providing an analysis, you will use information...

...Book Review of Omnivore’s Dilemma ENGL135 Advanced Composition DeVry University Book Review of Omnivore’s Dilemma The Omnivore’s Dilemma written by Michael Pollan has been written with an aim to address the confusion of every omnivore, or human being to address the need to decide what should be consumed when nature has such a huge variety and bounty to offer. The book starts with a fairly simple question aimed to make us think deeper about our evolved lifestyles and gastronomic tastes. The author asks his readers to answer a fairly simple question, which is “what should we have for dinner?” and goes on to show how complicated the answer can be. The book is divided into three sections: - Industrial/Corn, Pastoral/Grass. Personal/The Forest, each of which brings out interesting sights and happenings in the food chain. The first section which is the Industrial/Corn section describes how corn is the most important ingredient in the industrial food chain, while the second section on Pastoral/Grass section talks about organic farming. The final section on Personal/The Forest finds the author describing how to make a meal out of whatever he could hunt, grown or gathered by him only. This article presents a book review on the first section only. Michael Pollan shows us how difficult it is actually to choose what we eat given that nature has such a wide variety of bounty to offer. Yet if the American industry is scrutinized deeply, one basic ingredient seems to be the magical...

...| The Omnivore Review | A review on Michael Pollans “The Omnivore dilemma” | | Cody Windsor Harrington | DeVry University | The Omnivore Review As agriculture technology continues to advance in the new world most of us have lost our pre historic skills of basic survival when it comes to hunting and gathering. America’s agriculture logistics are so well developed that most Americans relay on this system to stay alive. A small portion of people out there still remain intact with their pre historic agriculture skills. That is what Author Michael Pollan writes about In Part 3, Chapters 15, 16, and 17 of The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Michael Pollan talks about looking for different foods, the ethics of hunting animals and harvesting the meat as well as giving a brief look into what brought about the paradox of The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Chapters 15, 16, and 17 bring up a lot of good points about foraging and hunting. Pollan provides in depth detail and research on the topics. The difficult part is staying focused on the story the author is illustrating. Pollan tends to bounce around on different topics and drags out details making it difficult to keep the reader entertained. Chapter 15 of Omnivore's Dilemma discusses how Pollan is preparing to make a meal from all of the foraging groups. Fruits, vegetables, fungi, and meat were the components that made up this meal. His goal was to find and gather enough from each group to make his first meal from nature. Pollan discusses...

...Big bang theory a. Explain how scientific discoveries have changed our understanding of that scientific concept or phenomenon over time. b. Include three specific, sequential examples that support your explanation of how your chosen concept has changed over time based on new knowledge and understanding. 1950-1965 Big Bang theory could explain both the formation and the observed abundances of hydrogen and helium, whereas the Steady State could explain how they were formed, but not why they should have the observed abundances. However, the observational evidence began to support the idea that the universe evolved from a hot dense state. In addition, the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation in 1965 was considered the death knell of the Steady State, although this prediction was only qualitative, and failed to predict the exact temperature of the CMB. (The key big bang prediction is the black-body spectrum of the CMB, which was not measured with high accuracy until COBE in 1990). After some reformulation, the Big Bang has been regarded as the best theory of the origin and evolution of the cosmos. 1970-1980 most cosmologists accepted the Big Bang, but several puzzles remained, including the non-discovery of anisotropies in the CMB, and occasional observations hinting at deviations from a black-body spectrum; thus the theory was not very strongly confirmed. 1990-present time This showed that earlier claims of spectral deviations were incorrect, and...

...“Midnight Musings of a Family Therapist” By: Carl Whitaker Book Paragraph It wasn’t easy choosing a book. I browsed the library and found a few titles that sounded interesting (The title has to appeal to me before I decide to read a book). So after scanning the pages of some of my choices, I finally decided on “Midnight Musings of a Family Therapist” by Carl Whitaker. After reading the preface, the book sounded like something I would enjoy. Prof. Whitaker talks about his trials and tribulations of venturing between being a psychologist and a psychotherapist, as well as being a husband and father of six. He tells many stories of the different environments that he encountered, as well as the different people with different diseases. I’m hoping this book will give me a greater outlook in the world of psychology. With Prof. Whitaker having been in so many different professions within the psychology field, I get to read about his different experiences and the various methods he used in treating his patients. So far I feel like I can relate to Prof. Whitaker because he describes how sometimes he felt he was the crazy one and not his patients. He goes on to describe how he learns as much from them as they do from him. This book is opening my eyes to the world of psychology and I hope to have a better idea of the field by the time I am finished. Summary My review of “Midnight Musings…” will begin with a look into Whitaker’s biography, a few of his ideals on marriage, and then...

...for the American public. The documentary “Food Inc. produced by Robert Kenner and Eric Schlosser, takes an in depth look at America’s food industry and the terrible but completely legal way our food is genetically engineered. The purpose of this video is to shock the American public with clever filmography and facts about the food Americans consume everyday. The food industry is full of misconceptions. The youtube video, “Food Inc.” declares that the food industry is using deceiving images of agrarian America to sell their product. Images such as lush green fields, picket fences, silos, and 30’s farmhouse, but as the narrator asserts, “it’s the spinning of a pastoral fantasy”. In reality the food being consumed is coming from mistreated animals and large factories all over the country. As the video continues, images of your typical everyday supermarket are cleverly displayed giving the audience something they can relate too. “There are no seasons in the American supermarket”.

...First of all, welcome back to Libellus Reviews! My postings at most the last few years have been sporadic and I have gone on long hiatuses as well. I have been reading a lot of Japanese literature, poetry, horse novels, other various young adult novels and I'm even trying some new genres that I normally don't read like memoirs. At one time, I kept this blog almost religiously because that's what a writer is supposed to do. Writers are "suppose" to have blogs and publishing companies want you to have them. They want to know you have a readership built up somewhere so they know at least somewhere out in the world some people enjoy your writing on some level. But none of that matters to me at the moment. The thing that is now inspiring me to keep blogging about the books I read is to help someone discover them. Should someone stumble upon this humble...
