WWIII?

With all the controversies, and conflicts going on around the world, I have a great feeling that there will be a bigger, better and more longer world war. However, I don not think it will be in our generation, I think it might just be in the early next generation, this means by the time the war has ended, many of us will be dead or many more of us will be very old. One conflict that is right in front of our eyes is Pakistan and India. Although, India and Pakistan were divided during independence, the pair still have many fights. Another example of a conflict would be between Israel and the Palestinians. And then up north, I'm sure Germany still sufers from WWI and WWII, with all these "little wars" going on all around the world, I'm sure they will evolve in to a major WWIII.

Anne Frank Feedback

In her diary Anne opined: “…if you’re wondering if it’s harder for the adults here than for the children, the answer is no…Older people have an opinion about everything and are sure of themselves and their actions. It’s twice as hard for us young people to hold on to our opinions at a time when ideals are being shattered…” (July 15, 1944.) Do you agree or disagree with this quote? When was the last time that you experienced the “shattering” of an ideal?

As weird as it seems, I have to agree with Anne, many young children are less experienced in life, and hence are much more gullible, they usually just go with the flow, and believe what anybody and everybody tells them to believe. One way, However, that children tend to stick to their opinions is by stubbornness. Nowadays, a large percentage of children have grown to be quite stubborn, no matter what the situation may be, many stubborn people just cannot see the other side. That was the children, now, let's move onto the adults or grown ups. Almost every adult has faced a lot of the situations in daily life. This enables them to be much more experienced, and able to bend their decisions according to the conditions. To Conclude, I completey agree with Anne, it is much harder for children to stick with their opinions than for adults. Children are more gullible, and much easier to explain. While adults are more experianced and are more flexible to the ideas around them.

Dear Joseph,
Hey brother, how are you?....I hope everything is just fine there.Hope you're taking care of mom alright. I'd sure like to see you guys, but the war is going on, and you know how I'm the new General now, I won't be able to come back for quite a while. Maybe in a year, maybe in 5 years, maybe I won't EVER come back. If I do, than we can celebrate....over my luck. But if I don't than, take care of mom, she's getting older by the minute, if you can't save up some money, than there's some left in my account, take it, and spend it wisely. Gosh, there's so much to say, so much to do....I still remember when we used to be kids, just after a stormy fall, we'd sprint down the muddy path into the great lake. Sink our skinny skinny feet in the clear water until it reached our knees, bent down to find our faces, yet we'd always end up with fishes. We'd take a deep breath, speak our prayer for forgiveness, and grab the first fish that slipped through our hands. You were always better at catching them than I was...I always wondered how, I guess I still do. And then, Mom would yell at us so hard, even Dad felt sorry, but what could we do, we were kids, we just had to do those kind of things! Now it's different, now, we have to earn our living, earn our families living, and never let them down. Speaking of family, you should find yourself a nice girl, she'd help you take care of Mom. Your lucky to have one, I don't even have a soul mate, I'm going to die soon anyway. Father's already dead, I guess I'll meet him there...someday. Uh-Oh, I have to go now, it's my turn to fight my way throught this battle. I hope I see you soon though

Take Care,
Your Beloved Brother,
Antony

Animal Farm Movie Critique 2

In our class, our second part started of with the executions of the animals. Let me start with the movie itself, I believe that the movie was far too short, it could have explained a lot more than just showing how they went to the very beginning stages after Jones had left. Speaking of Jones, In the book, men from the pub had broken down the windmill, while in the movie, Jones had put some cracker in the windmill causing the windmill to break. This made many of the individuals very sad, especially Boxer and Benjamin. Boxer, however was very strong and always strived to work harder. In the book, Boxer had grown old, and was unable to even walk at some stage. While Boxer rested, Napoleon and Squealer found a way to even trade him off to the Glue Company. Whereas in the movie, a rock fell on top Boxer, he hadn't shown any signs of growing old and had injured his foot. Moving on, When the Pigs walk on their two hind legs, they are celebrating, and are even wearing some human clothes. Whereas, in the book, the pigs walk on their hind legs with whips in their hand as if they are monitoring the individuals. Lastly,when the animals are all fed up, they decide to rebel against the pigs, this however does NOT happen in the book. One last thing that could have changed the movie a lot was showing change in the seven commandments. To conclude, the movie was far too short and if possible could have been modified quite a bit to fit more or less the exact story.

Animal Farm Movie Critique Part 1

As I started watching the movie version of "Animal Farm", I soon realized that the movie had skipped through a lot of the hard work in the beginning of the book. And even before that, the speech that Old Major had given seemed much smaller compared to the speech in the book (pg 5-10). Also, in the book, Old Major died shortly after the meeting (pg 11), while in the movie, Old Major died right at the end of the meeting. Another thing that attracted my attention was that the Battle of Cowshed walked in a little too fast. In fact, one of the students even said," Isn't the battle of Cowshed a little later on?". Let's move on to Napoleon ,up until the meeting for the windmill, Napoleon was a lot like a dormant fly, he wasn't a very big part of the decisions that were being made either . I think, the animators might have focused a little too much on Napoleon because he was going to be the dictator later on. Along with events, the movie also alters the side characters a little. For example, in the book, there is a index of all the characters (pg 4). Whereas in the movie, many of the characters such as Mollie and Muriel were missing. Along with that, Moses, the tame raven, was not even introduced so well, in fact, a person who hadn't read the book from before wouldn't be able to tell that the raven was even a part of the farm. Moses plays quite an important role in the book, and should get that much importance in the movie too. To conclude, I think most of these differences are excusable, this is because, if they had imitated the book word, to word than I fear the movie would have gotten a bit too long.

Which animal best suits you?

While reading this book, I gradually realized that I best suited 2 of the characters in the book. Let me start with, Clover, I guess I best follow Clover, because nobody really knows me, I haven't opened up to anybody I know yet, they all just know me from the "outside", the only person I've completely opened up to, would be my sister, my sister and I are always together, we're like the best of friends. Everybody else I know, knows my coat, but nobody knows my core(Except my Sis). The other person I think I suit would be Benjamin, being the smallest in my family(in age), I think that I have the least power,I know a lot of the stuff that's going on, and a lot of the time, I can infer what's going to happen, so no one really listens to me, also a lot of people say I have a different way of thinking, but if only some people would listen to me, I think I could have possibly changed the family! To conclude, I suit 2 people, Clover, and Benjamin, one because nobody really knows me, and the other, Benjamin, because I think differntly.
