Assignment+5

What is your opinion of Mollie and her actions? Is what she did understandable? Excusable? Explain your answer.

Were you surprised by the scene where Snowball is expelled from Animal Farm? Why or why not? Why does Napoloean do this? Do you think he really opposed the windmill plan or supported it from the beginning, or is the truth somewhere in between?

What is the purpose of having Squealer go around and tell his story?

Also, click on [|this link] to read a biography of George Orwell. After reading it, tell me what you think may have led Orwell to his views on governments and society. I'm NOT asking you to recap his life--I have already read his biography, so I know all the facts. I want you to look at those facts and draw some conclusions about why he wrote the novel that he wrote. Think deeply. Then look at someone else's post and respond to it, as you did a couple lessons ago.

Due Date: July 25th

Note: I will be out of town from July 24-30. I will be in Chicago on an inner-city missions trip with a group of teens (including one of your fellow Honors 9 students!). I will not have access to a computer, so I will not be checking this assignment until I get back. But remember, all your posts are time-stamped, so make sure you submit your response before the due date passes. If you have any questions, I will answer them when I get back. Of course, if you are working ahead, I may see your question before I leave.
