Fourth Assignment

Find 3 elements in your text that you feel are especially important. The elements you choose could be symbols and/or metaphors and/or allegories and/or characters and/or settings and/or moods and/or plots and/or conflicts. If you've written about an element in class or online, you can use it for this assignment.
- For each element, write what it is and describe it a bit. For example, if you found a symbol, write that it's a symbol, describe where you see it, and describe what it means.
- How do you know that it is what you say it is? For example, if you found a metaphor, how do you know it's a metaphor?
- Describe what each element you chose does in the text. You don't need to describe how that element works in general, you should have already done that. Instead, describe what that particular example does in your book specifically. That is, what's the element's job?
- Do you know the project of your book? If so, what is it?

Element 1:
The animals take over Manor Farm and now named it Animal Farm. Then, the animals established a law saying that all animals are equal. Also, they created the principle "Two legs good, four legs bad". This element in an allegory because it describe politics and a bit of society. Society is involved because the animals are the ones who surround each other, which make them a society or a group. The element's job is to make the animals in the farm strong and united in order to live happy and peaceful.

Element 2:
Boxer says: "Napoleon is always right". Since Boxer believes everything Napoleon says ir right, he does it, and obeys him, because what Napoleon says to do is for benefit of all. That's what Boxer believes. I believe this element is a Symbol because what Boxer says represents "hope" for all of the animals in the farm and a good future for them if they do what Napoleon says (since Napoleon is the leader, he knows more and is more intelligent). This element's job is to give a view to the animals what it would be like if they work hard and do what their leader says.

Element 3:
When the windmill got destroyed, there was a metaphore there that says: "The fruit of all their struggles..." This is a metaphore because their effort is not really a fruit, they are just using a fruit because it takes work and time in order to make a fruit grow. This element job is to make someone understand what it takes in order to get something.

I don't know exactly or maybe not the Project of my book, but I believe that I have an idea of what it is or could be. The project is to make the reader understand that by being organized, behaving, and following orders, everything can end up better. I'm not done reading my book, but that's what it is making me think about it so far. I've read around 75% of the book.
