Animal farm with context - LL
This document provides background information on the Russian Revolution and communism to help understand George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm". It summarizes that Karl Marx inspired the revolution by promoting communism which calls for workers to collectively own property and resources. Tsar Nicholas II's poor rule led to unrest in Russia during World War I. Lenin and the Bolsheviks then seized power from the Tsar, though Stalin later consolidated power through purges and show trials, establishing an authoritarian regime. The document suggests examining parallels between characters in "Animal Farm" and figures in the Russian Revolution.
Communist Russia - Stalin
The document provides details about Stalin's rise to power in the Soviet Union and his implementation of communist policies and programs.

The document also describes Stalin's policies of collectivization, the liquidation of kulaks (wealthy peasants), and the resulting famine. It outlines Stalin's first five-year industrialization plan and the establishment of collective farms, which met significant resistance from peasants and had disastrous consequences.

It notes that in both Animal Farm and revolutionary Russia, the masses had no individual identity or voice and simply existed as extensions of the totalitarian leader. It also discusses how good intentions, hard work and loyalty were not rewarded and often led to harm. Additionally, it explores how power became increasingly corrupt as it became more concentrated in single authoritarian figures like Napoleon and Stalin.
Russian Revolution - Animal Farm
The document summarizes key figures and events from the Russian Revolution in 1917 that set the stage for George Orwell's Animal Farm.

the soviet union
The New Economic Policy (NEP) was introduced in 1921 by Lenin to transition away from war communism by allowing small businesses and private farming. Major industries remained under government control. The NEP improved the economy and benefited wealthy farmers. After Lenin's death in 1924, a power struggle emerged between Stalin and Trotsky for control of the Soviet Union. Stalin used his position as General Secretary to gain power by putting his supporters in key positions. He exiled Trotsky in 1929 and had him murdered. Stalin established a totalitarian state through policies like collectivization of agriculture and five-year plans, which rapidly industrialized the Soviet Union but had negative social impacts.

Animal farm (Test)
George Orwell wrote Animal Farm as an allegorical satire of Soviet communism. The novel, published in 1945, uses talking farm animals to represent figures like Lenin, Stalin, and Trotsky. It depicts the animals overthrowing their human farmer and establishing a new social system, only to see their revolution devolve into a totalitarian dictatorship worse than the one they overthrew, mirroring Stalin's rise to power in the Soviet Union. Orwell based the major plot points and characters on real events from the Russian Revolution and Stalin's regime. The novel serves as both a critique of totalitarianism and a predictor of how communist systems could go wrong if power is concentrated in the hands of a single ruler.
Russian revolutionnew
The Russian Revolution of 1917 overthrew the monarchy of Czar Nicholas II as the people grew angry with the economic hardship caused by World War I. They adopted the communist ideas of Karl Marx, which called for a classless society. The Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, seized power and established the Soviet Union. However, after Lenin's death, Joseph Stalin rose to power and established a totalitarian dictatorship, eliminating his opponents and killing millions of citizens through repression and famine. He modeled the government on communist principles but distorted them for his own authoritarian rule.
Russian revolution, edited
The Russian Revolution of 1917 overthrew the oppressive rule of Czar Nicholas II as the impoverished people grew angry with his leadership that benefited only himself while they starved. They were inspired by the political ideas of Karl Marx and formed the Bolshevik party led by Vladimir Lenin to establish a communist system with equal rights and resources for all. However, after Lenin's death, Joseph Stalin rose to power through deception and eliminated his opponents, establishing a totalitarian dictatorship worse than that of the Czar as he had millions killed through his secret police in his greedy pursuit of control.
The Russian Revolution Lecture
Vladimir Lenin led the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1917, overthrowing the czarist government and establishing the Soviet Union. After Lenin's death in 1924, Joseph Stalin rose to power and established a totalitarian dictatorship, instituting policies like collectivization of agriculture, rapid industrialization through Five Year Plans, and the Great Purge which eliminated political opponents. Stalin's rule had both positive impacts like modernizing Soviet industry and infrastructure, but also had tremendously negative consequences with human and economic costs, like the famine caused by collectivization and mass executions during the Great Purge.
Rise of the dictators
The document provides an overview of the rise of dictators in the period between 1918-1939. It begins by discussing how many believed a new age of democracy had dawned after World War 1, but instead the years became an era of dictatorship. It then summarizes the rise of three dictators:
1) Joseph Stalin in Russia/Soviet Union who consolidated power after Lenin's death and instituted brutal policies like collectivization, purges, and famine that killed millions.
2) Benito Mussolini in Italy who formed the Fascist party and seized power in 1922, becoming Il Duce and allying with Hitler.
3) Adolf Hitler in Germany who joined the Nazi party after WW1 and transformed it

Animal farm
George Orwell's Animal Farm is an allegorical novella about the Russian Revolution and Stalin's rise to power. It can be read on four levels: as a literal story, a satire, a political commentary, and a beast fable. The characters represent real figures like Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin. Snowball represents Trotsky, advocating for progress, while Napoleon represents Stalin, seizing power through deception and force. Ultimately, the pigs take over the farm completely and are indistinguishable from humans, showing how the Russian revolution was betrayed by Stalin and devolved into a totalitarian regime.

Compare And Contrast Lenin And Stalin
Vladimir Lenin was the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution and helped establish communist rule in Russia. As the leader of the USSR, Lenin attempted to rapidly industrialize Russia and transition it to a communist system. However, his goals differed from those of later leader Joseph Stalin, who focused more on industrialization at the cost of millions of lives. While Lenin had ideals of creating a classless society, the communist system he helped establish eventually drifted away from his control and vision during his lifetime.
The Russian Revolution
The Russian Revolution occurred when Russia's political and economic systems collapsed due to tensions between social classes. Vladimir Lenin supported the ideas of Karl Marx and led the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, overthrowing the provisional government and establishing Soviet rule. Joseph Stalin later consolidated power and instituted a repressive regime, implementing forced collectivization and industrialization policies that killed millions but also modernized the country.
The russian revolution
Vladimir Lenin was a Russian revolutionary who led the Bolshevik Revolution in October 1917, establishing the Soviet Union and communist rule. He was influenced by Karl Marx and believed in a revolution led by workers. After years of exile, Lenin returned to Russia during World War I and seized power. Joseph Stalin later succeeded Lenin after his death and established an authoritarian regime, carrying out brutal purges that eliminated his political opponents. Both leaders established communist single-party states in Russia through revolutionary and oppressive means that had lasting impacts.
Vlademir Leninn
Vladimir Lenin was a revolutionary leader who played a pivotal role in 20th century Russian and world history. He was a Marxist theorist who led the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, overthrowing the provisional government and establishing the Soviet Union. Lenin went on to become the first head of government of the USSR, instituting communist policies and greatly influencing leftist movements internationally through his ideology of Leninism before his death in 1924. His revolutionary actions and political philosophy transformed Russia and left a lasting impact that continues to shape global politics.
How Did Lenin Come To Power
Vladimir Lenin was born in 1870 in Russia to a well-educated family. He was exposed to the harsh realities of life under the Tsar at a young age. Lenin decided the bourgeoisie were exploiting the poor and something was wrong with the system. He studied Marxism which was illegal in Russia and was arrested, being exiled to Siberia. After his release, Lenin traveled around Europe and began publishing Marxist newspapers. He became a leader of the Bolsheviks and helped plan the Russian Revolution of 1917, overthrowing the Tsar and becoming leader of the new Soviet government.

Russian Revolution
The document provides background information on Russia prior to the 1917 revolution. It summarizes that Czar Nicholas II was an inept ruler during a time of famine, war losses, and growing unrest against the monarchy. The February Revolution of 1917 forced Nicholas to abdicate and a provisional government took over, but the Bolsheviks then seized power in October 1917 under Lenin. A civil war ensued as the Bolsheviks consolidated power and established a communist state under Lenin and later Stalin through authoritarian means.
Roy Medvedev Analysis
The document provides an analysis of Roy Medvedev's views on Leninism and its impact on the Soviet system and modern Russia. Some key points:
- Leninism became the central tenant of the Soviet system and is still admired by many in modern Russia.
- Lenin's government set the path for Stalinism, as Leninism naturally led to a concentration of power.
- While Lenin tried to prevent any one person from taking control, his system paved the way for Stalin's rise to totalitarian rule.
Russian Revolution
The document compares characters and events in Animal Farm to those of the Russian Revolution. Old Major represents Karl Marx and his ideas of communism that later influenced Vladimir Lenin. Napoleon mirrors Joseph Stalin who took authoritarian control of the Soviet Union, while Snowball represents Leon Trotsky who was later exiled. Mr. Jones is likened to Czar Nicholas II, who abdicated the throne during the Russian Revolution. Moses and the idea of Sugar Candy Mountain symbolize religion and the concept of heaven in Russia. Pinchfield Farm and the agreement between Napoleon and Frederick parallel Germany and the non-aggression pact between Russia and Germany.

Academic Essay Structure
The document provides guidance on writing academic essays. It recommends that introductions declare an argument and place it in the context of ongoing discussions on the topic. The thesis, an arguable point, should appear at the end of the introduction. Body paragraphs should each make a point supported by evidence, with a topic sentence announcing the paragraph's argument. Conclusions should summarize without repeating and leave the reader thinking. Academic writing should be clear, concise, and persuasive for the intended reader. Facts and evidence should support arguments over personal feelings or rhetoric. Careful proofreading is important.
Academic Writing
To write a successful academic essay in high school, students must understand three key concepts: 1) Academic writing focuses on ideas that scholars have debated for centuries and requires following certain conventions; 2) Topics must be relevant, appropriate, and of interest to other students and scholars by helping the reader understand or see the topic in a new way; 3) Arguments must be informed by sorting what is known from what is thought about a topic and determining a fresh observation beyond what is already understood.
Animal Farm Propaganda Techniques[1]
This document outlines 12 common propaganda techniques: assertion, bandwagon, card stacking, glittering generalities, lesser of two evils, pinpointing the enemy, plain folks, simplification, transfer, and refute propaganda. It provides brief definitions and examples of each technique, explaining how they try to influence audiences without objective evidence or by selectively presenting information to support a particular position.
Mood+And+Tone
The document discusses style, tone, and mood in writing. It provides information on what style is and how it can be analyzed by considering an author's word choice, point of view, organization of text, and other components. The document also discusses the differences between formal and informal writing styles as well as how an author's tone, or attitude, can be inferred based on their word choices.
Animal Farm Fairy Story
The document discusses different types of folk literature that Animal Farm could be categorized as, including fairy tales, parables, fables, and allegories. It provides definitions for each: fairy tales use imagination and magic to teach lessons, parables reveal religious or moral truths through comparisons, fables feature talking animals to convey messages, and allegories use symbols throughout the narrative to represent abstract concepts. While Animal Farm has elements of different types, such as talking animals and moral messages, it is most accurately described as an allegory, where every element represents a deeper political meaning beyond the literal story.
MLA Citations 2009
The document provides guidelines for formatting papers and citations using MLA style. It discusses creating a header on each page with the author's last name and page number. For citations, MLA uses parenthetical citations with the author's last name and page number. Long quotes that are more than 4 lines should be in a block of text indented from the left margin without quotation marks. Short quotes under 4 lines are within double quotation marks with the page number in parentheses after.
Formal Vs Informal Writing
The document provides guidelines for formal writing style. It recommends introducing the title, author, and theme of a novel in the first paragraph of a thematic essay. The author's last name should be used after introducing their full name, rather than their first name alone. Text citations from the novel should be selective and follow MLA format. Formal writing should avoid slang, abbreviations, contractions, personal pronouns, addressing the teacher, profanity, and directly copying words; instead using original language and sophisticated vocabulary.
Jabberwocky

Understanding Diction
This document discusses elements of poetry and fiction such as diction, vocabulary, syntax, and analyzes the poem "The Whiskey on Your Breath" by Theodore Roethke. It notes that the line "Such waltzing was not easy" emphasizes the dance is difficult from a child's perspective. The lines about the mother's "countenance" being unable to "unfrown itself" give emphasis to her disapproval and intensify the danger of the situation. The poem is ultimately about a father who drinks too much and physically abuses his son while dancing.
Understanding Symbolism
Symbolism in literature refers to the use of symbols to represent complex ideas. Symbols are objects, characters, or places that represent something beyond their literal meaning. Authors use symbols frequently and provide details about them to represent important concepts and issues. To understand symbolism, readers should familiarize themselves with the author and historical context, pay attention to their own emotional responses to symbols, and consult other analyses to aid their interpretation. Symbols allow authors to succinctly communicate rich, complicated ideas.
Haiku
Haiku is a 3-line form of Japanese poetry that focuses on nature. It typically follows a 5-7-5 syllable structure without rhyming.

The document describes several note taking systems:
- The Cornell method uses a format with cues in the left margin to organize and review notes.
- Outlining indents subpoints to show relationships and importance. It requires more thought but clearly shows organization.
- Mapping uses visual representations to relate ideas. It maximizes understanding and critical thinking.
- Charting uses columns to categorize information, making comparisons and relationships easy to review.
- The sentence method writes each point on its own line but doesn't show relationships clearly.
Poetic Forms

It explains that point of view refers to the perspective from which a story is told, such as first person, second person, third-person objective, third-person limited, or omniscient. Theme is the underlying meaning or major idea of a work, rather than its subject, and authors express themes through how they make readers feel, characters' thoughts and conversations, character development, and story events and actions.
