Posting The Animal Farm Review I Did Some Months Ago Because I Can

Posting the Animal Farm review I did some months ago because I can

It had to be a maximum of 150 words, I ended up with 540 with the want of writing more but when I wrote it was 1am and I was already sending it late

(I fixed some mistakes so the word count probably isn't the same)

Animal Farm takes place on a farm in England at an unspecified time but its events represent the political events in Russia between 1917 and 1945 (the Russian revolution and the rise of communism).

At the Manor Farm, owned by Mr Jones, there's a pig, old Mayor, who one day gives a speech to all the animals on the farm, to inspire them to rebel against the human kind.

The days pass and Mayor passes away but his speech is still remembered by the other animals. One day Mr Jones and his workers forgot to feed the animals, so the animals started to rebel and they took over the farm and they changed the name of the farm to “Animal Farm”.

Snowball and Napoleon, two pigs very active in debates, spread the word about Animalism (an allegory to socialism), in which animals are all equal and are all against one big enemy, mankind.

They write 7 commandments that are the same to everyone, to ensure equality among all animals.

One day Mr Jones and his men try to take control of the farm back but the animals, led by Snowball, win the fight.

Days pass and Snowball and Napoleon are always disagreeing with one another. Snowball wants to create a windmill for electricity to provide light, hot and cold water and warmth during the winter but Napoleon thinks it would be useless and that it would be better if they just worked harder and prepared for a possible second attack from the humans.

At the barn there's a meeting to vote which idea is better but Napoleon uses dogs to send Snowball away and takes the power without leaving any choice to the animals.

He soon installs a dictatorship along with the other pigs, especially Squealer who becomes sort of his messanger.

His leadership is filled with inconsistencies and lies:

- He changes the commandments as he pleases, exploiting the inability to read of most of the other animals

- He makes up stories about Snowball which he changes constantly

- He gaslights the other animals in believing that the changes he does to the rations or the contact with humankind are for the greater good

- He gives order to kill any traitors

Towards the end he and the other pigs stand up on their back limbs, similar to how we humans walk, referencing back to the earlier simplified version of the 7 commandments “Four legs good, two legs bad” as the pigs become like the humans at the start of the book.

The Animal Farm's name is changed back into its original name, which means that the pigs became what they once despised.

The different animals all represent different parts of society:

- the pigs are the people who exploit the poor and their hard work

- the dogs are the ways that dictators/tyrant use to put fear into the lower social classes

- the sheep are the people who fall for all the propaganda they see. Saying that someone is (like) a sheep means that they are all the same and follow everyone else like sheep do.

- all the other animals are the lower social classes

I would recommend this book as I think it shines light on the cruelty of dictatorships and how it can affect the lower classes.

(I didn't get to read the whole thing in class btw 💔)

I could do an updated version with more things if I decide to read it again 😁!!

Things ST Actors & Directors have said that make me believe in byler endgame

Noah Schnapp/Will Byers:

Someone asked: "What were your favorite moments with Finn on set?"

Noah: "Oh, um... well, I would probably say from this new season, so I guess I can't tell you but..."

"I think I spend the most time with Finn throughout—the course of— wait. Um... sorry, I gotta not—make sure not to say anything from season 5, but in other seasons... what was the question?"

"Lot's of good stuff coming. It's going to be a wild last season, so just, everyone get ready. There's some crazy stuff, some iconic scenes thrown in there."

Noah talking about Will:

"I think in season 5, it will have some... we'll just be like, "Yes! Something went right for him!""

"Mike was always super protective of Will and Will always leaned on him, and you could never really tell if it was something romantic or just a really special friendship."

"I can just tell you that I'm very, very excited for what's to come. I think they did a great job with Will's character this season, and beautifully addressed everything they needed to. The way they closed the show is just perfect – the story started with Will, and it’ll end with Will."

Someone asked: "Is there one scene in your whole career that stayed with you the most?"

Noah: "Yeah... but I can't talk about it."

Finn Wolfhard/Mike Wheeler:

Someone asked: "Finn, where do you think El and you are going to go?"

"Oh, I don't know. I don't know, I'm really interested in like the end of the show in general. You know, it's hard to tell, obviously, with Eleven and his relationship... but I hope they find—you know—happiness."

"Mike is just trying to be a normal teenager as much as he can."

"I think Mike is trying to be as normal as possible and trying to keep on a normal path. He might be into some new things."

"How is he (Mike) this clueless right now? With the Will scene in the car, I remember asking the Duffers, why would he not know this? And they're like, "Don't worry, it'll pay off in the end.""

Caleb McLaughlin/Lucas Sinclair:

"I love Lucas and Max's relationship, it's not like Eleven and Mike's—you know— in that teenage relationship dynamic. Their love is very—you know— it's real."

Sadie Sink/Max Mayfield:

"We're (Lucas & Max) both very independent. We're not like Mike and El where they just kind of are obsessed with each other."

Gaten Matarazzo/Dustin Henderson:

"The Byers have moved to California and the season picks up with Mike going out there to visit his friend Will—and Eleven who lives out there with them."

Shawn Levy/Director:

"Our show is an anthem for the marginalized and imperfect, precisely because the Duffer brothers know from experience that the popular and easy road is rarely the most interesting one, and that character, grit, connection, and soul are bred in the same moments that challenge us the most."

"People talk about mythology and The Upside Down, and all that is huge, but the magic of S5 are the characters who find a sense of belonging with one another and through that connection, become heroes."

i think it's funny whenever wilson looks so exasperated that house is intruding on his dates (like with amber and sam), because when house and cuddy were together, wilson was sometimes just there?? when he didn't need to be??

like in s7e09 "larger than life" house is meeting cuddy's mom as a next step in his commitment to cuddy. oh, and wilson's here too!

also this dialogue exchange makes me CACKLEEEEE because even cuddy's mom is questioning why tf wilson is here
