World History Honors

Animal Farm Assignment

You should have all read George Orwell’s novel, Animal Farm over the summer. The novel, presented as a fable, uses animals to comment on human society and nature. Animal Farm satirizes the events of the Russian Revolution and the years following, from 1917 to 1943.

Your assignment is to pick one of the historical figures of the Russian Revolution—Marx, Lenin, Stalin, or Trotsky—and write a research essay describing both his personal strengths and weaknesses and his role in the Russian Revolution. In addition to information on the life of the person you have chosen, your paper should also address how well Orwell's allegorical portrayal in Animal Farm supports their research. Do you think Orwell’s characterization was accurate? Use specific examples from the book that you think illustrate your point.

Your paper should be a minimum of 3 pages typed, using 12 point Times-Roman typeface, double-spaced with normal margins. It should also include a cover page with the following information: your name, date, class, and the title of your essay. Your paper should have a clear introductory paragraph, and also a conclusion. You will also be required to include a bibliography.

The paper will be due on ******OCT 6, 2005*******.

that is the real due date. I need help NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you decided which Russian figure/animal farm character yet?
Once you've done that you can scan the book for specific examples of allegory.
You'll need some sources too, whether from the library, or you're allowed to use respected sources from the internet?

I realise you must be quite anxious about this. Your extensive use of eclamation marks makes me think you might expect a lot from members here. Often calls for help to do homework here go unanswered alltogether, just thought I'd mention that so you don't get disappointed, but good luck with your project

You like history?

BTW: I'm at wikipedia right now.

You don't have to be sarcastic to total strangers who don't owe you any help in any way.

[yellowfeverlime]

No
I'm not being sarcastic. I really mean it. I am really grateful. And seriously, if you ever need help with something, i am in debt. I am not being sarcastic.

[yellowfeverlime]

Anyways, i was commenting to samercury, no offense LOGO person.

[yellowfeverlime]

I should start on the outline.

[Logos]

Ok, my bad

So, why don't you do one of the more obvious relationships Trotsky/snowball, Stalin/Napoleon?

I mean I guess reading a bit of a basic overview of Russian Revolution may spark some similarities between these Animal farm characters.
