3 Animal Farm is an allegory (a story that closely mirrors another) for the Russian Revolution. Complete the following chart and timeline to understand the similarities. Comparison of Characters to the Russian Revolution Fill in the chart to compare the characters and ideas in Animal Farm to those of the Russian Revolution. Animal Farm Russian Revolution Mr. Jones Old Major Animalism Snowball Napoleon Squealer The Dogs Czar Nicholas II A poor leader at best, compared with western kings Cruel sometimes brutal with opponents Sometimes Kind hired students as spies to make money Karl Marx Invented Communism Workers of the world unite!, take over government Dies before the Russian Revolution Communism Same All people equal Government owns everything; people own government Leon Trotsky Other leader of October Revolution Pure communist, followed Marx Wanted to improve life for all in Russia Chased away by Lenin s KGB Joseph Stalin Not a good speaker; not educated like Trotsky Same as Napoleon; didn t follow Marx s ideas Cared only for power; killed all who opposed him Used KGB and propagandized Propaganda Dept. of Lenin s Government Worked for Stalin to support his image Used any lie to convince the people to follow Stalin Benefited from the fact that education was controlled KGB Secret Police Not really police, but forced support for Stalin Used force, often killed entire families for disobedience Totally loyal, part of Lenin s power, even over army 3
4 Moses the Raven Mollie Boxer Benjamin Overall details about revolution Religion Marx said Opiate of the people a lie Used to make people not complain and do their work Religion was tolerated because people would work Stalin knew religion would stop violent revolutions Vain, selfish people in Russia and the world Some people didn t care about revolution Only thought about themselves Went to other countries that offered more for them Dedicated, but tricked, communist supporters People believed Stalin because he was a communist Many stayed loyal after it was obvious Stalin was a tyrant Betrayed by Stalin, who ignored and killed them Skeptical people in Russia and outside Russia Weren t sure revolution would change anything Realized a crazy leader can call himself communist Knew that communism wouldn t work with power-hungry leaders Overall details of Russian Revolution Supposed to fix problems from the Czar Life was even worse long after the Revolution Stalin made the Czar look like a nice guy 4
5 Parallel Events Chart Comparing the Russian Revolution to Animal Farm Fill in the blank line with events that occurred in Animal Farm Karl Marx s Communist Manifesto is completed in Brussels, Belgium. The pamphlet became the defining document of a revolutionary new idea: the political and social system called communism Karl Marx dies before he witnesses any revolutions, but his ideas are spreading The well-organized communists dominated the soviet leadership, and made impassioned speeches demanding land, bread and peace The February Revolution growing out of violent street protests against the war and the poverty it contributed to, finally topples Czar Nicholas II. With the Czar gone, both the Provisional Government and the communist soviets make claims to power. The October Revolution Bolshevik troops, at the behest of Vladimir Lenin advance on the Provisional Government headquarters at the Winter Palace. A bloodless coup brings the soviets to power, and marks the start of the communist era Civil war begins in Russia. White forces, intent on removing the soviets from power, battle the Red forces of communist Russia, under the leadership of Leon Trotsky. Trotsky s skillful execution of the three-year war effort results in the maintenance of communist authority. Trotsky has great visions of industrializing Russia, but Stalin speaks out against his ideas Lenin dies. In the ensuing struggle for power, Joseph Stalin adroitly out-maneuvers Leon Trotsky, and assumes full command of the USSR. He immediately begins the process of isolating Trotsky within the party. He is eventually exiled and later executed in Mexico Stalin announces the first Five Year Plan, an ambitious attempt to make Russia a modern industrial state, after previously condemning Trotsky. Stalin exhorts his comrades throughout the Soviet Union to work harder than they ever have, so that Soviet Russia can prosper as a beacon of hope to workers everywhere. 5
6 1930 Stalin propels Russia into the Industrial Age and the cost is shortage of goods, long work weeks, and the beginning of unequal distribution of wealth The beginning of the Great Purges and show trials under Stalin. These public accusations and forced confessions were followed by quick trials and executions or imprisonment. Between 2-7 million people suspected of opposition to Stalin are executed; many more are sentenced to years of hard labor in the Gulags cruel Soviet Union labor camps German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact: a secret agreement between Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler which carved Easter Europe into German and Soviet spheres of influence. The pact also guaranteed that neither country would oppose or attack the other, in perpetuity Adolph Hitler begins Operation Barbarossa, the full-frontal assault on the Soviet Union, in defiance of the Non- Aggression Treaty of Hitler moves quickly into Russia, straining his supply lines and trapping his troops deep within Russia as winter approached. The bitter winter that followed sapped German troops strength, and they began to retreat under a withering new counter-assault by the Russians World War II in Europe ends. Since the Russian army had protected England from Germany by fighting hard and repelling the Germans, sentiments are pro-russia for a short time. However, soon followed the knowledge of Stalin s tyranny and the iron curtain was formed between the Soviet Union and Western Europe, thus was the beginning of the Cold War. 6
7 Reader Response Charts for Choice Novel English 10 What are reading response charts? They are a tool for you to analyze and connect with the text. The important part is that you, the reader, are reading something and then responding to it with your feelings and ideas (analysis). Directions: 1. Divide each entry in half with a T shape. Choose five quotations from throughout the novel for each chart (you will have a total of 20 quotations) and write a reflection as to how it relates to the subject of the journal topic (characterization, setting, plot, author s intention) AND to the novel. 2. You should identify some possible quotations are you read the book, and then pick the ones that you like best when you are finished. Annotate as you read and be prepared to share the other options you considered. 3. Each quotation needs a citation. (Author s last name page number) (Orwell 100) Worth: 100 points Due date: On the first day of class. 7
8 READING RESPONSE CHARTS CHARACTERIZATION Left Side (Quote) From your choice reading book, choose five passages about a character or by a character; it can be dialogue, description, narration, interior monologue, etc. Include the page/line number(s) of your example Right Side (Response) Write one paragraph (approximately 3-5 sentences minimum, more if you are able) explaining each quotation s context (what s happening at that point in the story), what the quote tells us about the character, and how this quote shows us characterization (what specific words let us know). What does it reveal about the character s gender or social class? SETTING Left Side (Quote) From your choice reading book, choose five passages that tell something important or insightful about the setting. Include the page/line number(s) of your example Right Side (Response) Write one paragraph (approximately 3-5 sentences minimum, more if you are able) explaining each quotation s context (what s happening at that point in the story), what the quotation tells us about the setting (does it symbolize anything?), and how it tells us something about the setting. How does the setting reflect the people that live there? 8
9 PLOT Left Side (Quote) From your choice reading book, choose five passages that serve as pivotal moments in the plot or tells us something insightful about the plot. Include the page/line number(s) of your example Right Side (Response) Write one paragraph (approximately 3-5 sentences minimum, more if you are able) explaining each quotation s context (what s happening at that point in the story) and what the quotation tells us about the plot so far. Then provide a personal reaction: How did the conflict, foreshadowing, plot complication, or character actions reveal something about society or other characters? AUTHOR S INTENTION Left Side From your choice reading book, choose five passages where the author conveys his tone, mood, or message through a literary form or technique. Include the page/line number(s) of your example Right Side Write one paragraph (approximately 3-5 sentences minimum, more if you are able) explaining each quotation s context and then answer the following questions: How did the author convey his or her tone, mood, or message? Explain. (Examples: through irony, foreshadowing, figurative language, imagery, symbolism, or hyperbole) How did the author s style affect you? Does the material remind you of anything you have read before? Might these authors be similar? 9
10 Rubric for Response Journals: (100-90): Demonstrates a thorough understanding of the novel/play/poem in terms of comprehension, interpretation, and evaluation as is shown by perceptive and insightful reflective thinking about the text. Supports this thinking with specific evidence in the text (significant quotes are noted and parsed) and outside experience (using historical, political, philosophical, psychological, or other literary lens). Displays judgments about the literary quality of the text and also supports these judgments well with specific evidence from the text and by using outside information from other disciplines or prior knowledge. Chooses unique quotations that show close reading and individual understanding. All quotations are cited properly. (89-80): Displays a complete and accurate understanding of the novel/play/poem in terms of comprehension and interpretation but does not extend the meaning of the text through imagination or the use of an unusual lens. Supports thinking with specific evidence from the text (significant quotes) and outside experience using a literary/philosophical lens. A less effective, but nevertheless good and conscientious attempt is made to connect the text through references outside the text from other disciplines or prior knowledge. Chooses quotations that show close reading. All quotations are cited properly. (79-70): Displays an incomplete understanding of the novel/play/poem in terms of interpretation. Does not look beyond the surface of a discussion of plot or makes some misconceptions about the interpretation of the book. General observations are not supported through the use of significant quotes and analysis of those quotes. Does not support thinking with specific evidence from the text and/or outside experience or makes generalizations and suppositions that are unsupported. Some quotations are cited properly. (69-60): Demonstrates misconceptions about the plot in terms of comprehension. Close reading skills need sharpening. Makes no attempt at analysis, and basic plot is summarized. Vague generalizations are used to avoid specific details. Some quotations are cited properly. (59 and below): Minimal, unacceptable effort is expended. Quotations were obtained from an internet or other source. They are not from the student s close reading. There are no citations. 10
