1. they used like temper wich shows how the animals were angry. this changes the way i read it because now i see they are really angry and want the farmer out.
ReplyDelete2. watching the movie helped me identify the names with the characters, it expecificli helped me by knowing that snow-ball was White and napoleon black.
1. The imagery in the movie was dark and suspenseful. The cartoons were shown as weird dark characters. It helped show that the first part of the movie was an "evil" time. The way Farmer Jones was depicted in the cartoon showed me that he is an antagonist to the animals and that he is abusive towards them.
ReplyDelete2. After I saw this part of the movie, it really helped me bring the characters to life. I saw how all the animals cling onto every word that Old Major said in his speech at the beginning.
1. The imagery helped me understand better the opinion the animals had on the farmer. W can see that he they see him as a drunk that dose not care about them. We can see this because that every time that he appears the scene is darker. It also helps me to understand better the differences and rivalry between the characters on Napoleon and Snowball.
ReplyDelete2. The movie helped me to create can image for each character of the story. Also it helped me establish a difference between Napoleon and Snowball in how they acted as rivals and the differences and similarities in their characters. Like an the beginning when Old Major was giving his speech they were both arrogant forward each other.

ReplyDelete1-The imagery used in the novel was shown as anger and hate, the hate they felt against the farmer for what he was doing. The imagery of the book helped me understand what the book and each character were trying to say, their emotion and their tone of doing all of the actions. It helped understand the history better by showing the emotions and facial expressions, i could see in my mind what their emotions were but the movie helped me clarify everything. In some parts i was mistaking in what their emotion was but the movie helped understand it better.
2- One of the aspects is the used of facial expressions in the movie and the feelings they were showing in the movie. One event that stood out to me was when the animals gave front to the farmer and the others, we could see that the animals were really serious in what they meant.
1. What I saw in the imagery was that both the characters and the actual situation was really dark and the characters were sad and disappointed because they saw the change of the farm and were in an emotional crisis.
ReplyDelete2. One of the aspects was that it is actually history and I could relate it with that. If I didn't understand something about the chapter I could take the idea of what happened and google it and it came out as the communism in Russia, I could research a little bit and get an idea of what was happening in the book.
