Statement of intention
My intention for this story is to create a narrator who is unreliable in telling the story correctly.
I will do this by having my character named Tony, slowly loosing his mind over drugs. His voice will change from time to time though as he goes in and out of the power the LSD has on him, this will be shown by him in a hallucinogenic state, thinking he is in a totally different world that seems real and every crazy thing that is going on around him is perfectly normal even if he thinks he is talking to a pink mouse that is 8 foot tall and then will wake up with no idea were he is or what he has done and his voice will change back to normal. When he is sober his distinctive voice will seem paranoid but smart at the same time, by realizing how his mind is slowly crumbling away, he is smart because in the beginning he was a top median student (but then blew it) so he does have brains but is paranoid by the harmful effects of the drug. To add more stress to his life, it is set in Detroit U.S.A in the ghetto suburbs at present date, with him as a poor white man in a black community, barley getting by and blowing all of his extra dollars on more LSD making him seem scared and left out form time to time. The only thing that keeps him together and doesn’t make him seem like a complete loony is his friend and LSD provider David. When David is around Tony’s voice becomes a lot more calm and straight because of the probable fact that he is about to get more drugs and the other fact that the only person in the world who cares about him is standing right next to him.

Animal farm essay
Topic: Discuss the ways the ideals animal farm begins with are corrupted.
Contention: it’s the pigs in animal farm that change the ideals and dreams
3 arguments:
- Equality changes to dictatorship
- The changing of the commandments
- The idea of freedom becomes slavery
They say dreams are the most important thing to a person animal or not it’s what keeps you driving towards a goal and if you think about it keeps you from boredom or even insanity. But in George Orwell‘s Animal farm it’s the pigs that change the ideals and dreams because things as they do naturally change. Equality changes into dictatorship, the commandments change from pleasant to obscene and the idea of freedom becomes slavery. Which all show the power hungry, hypercritical ways of the pigs. It’s almost like racism how we say everyone’s equal but there are still those who think better of themselves then others.
Equality changes into a dictatorship which corrupts the ideals in animal farm because the pigs think they are better and much more important than everybody else on the farm. Slowly and slyly the pigs made these changes to the equality starting off by taking the milk and the apples for themselves all because according to squealer “Milk and apples (this has been proved by science comrades) to contain substances absolutely necessary to the well being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers.” Then this gradually turned into the pigs taking over all the animals’ lives and even acting like humans so the rebellion was for nothing. But the equality was not the only thing that changed gradually, the rules also took this affect.
The changing of the commandments corrupts everything in animal farm because it allows the pigs to do and get away with anything they wont. Some of the rules they break include the contact with humans, the use of human possessions, the growing of beer and most importantly the killing of another animal which happens on more than one occasion and the pigs didn’t show one bit of remorse or concern for the others. This tells me that the pigs never wanted the great equal land they promised at the start, all they were looking out for was numero uno. But worst of all they got caught and then changed the rules to make sure that the other animals would still trust them. For example “Every one is equal, but some are more equal than others” which is probably the worst change of the rules because it simply says “I can decide who is better than the others just because I am smarter that you.” It’s not only bad to lie to your brethren but to make them your slaves when you promised them freedom is just savage.
The idea of freedom becomes corrupted into slavery when the farm gets over thrown by the pigs, because the animals have no power and the pigs have worked them down to worse off then when Jones was the owner. They had done this so well that even the other farmers congratulated the pigs on it. As Mr Pilkington says” I believe that the lower animals on Animal farm did more work and received less food than any animals in the country” Telling us that the pigs have become so corrupt that they are now worse than the humans. At the beginning old major talks about the vast plains of freedom, abundant supply of food and little labour that they will have to do but this soon turns to darkness because of the pigs greed and lust to be as powerful as they can. But the greatest insult of all, that completely destroyed the dreams and ideals of the animals, was changing the name of animal farm back to the title Manor farm, which was thought to be in the time everyone wanted to forget, the very enemy and purpose of the rebellion.
Overall we now know that the ideals and dreams of the old animal farm have been mutated and sickly twisted into a greedy one sided factory. This is because of equality changing into dictatorship, the commandments changing from pleasant to obscene and the idea of freedom becoming slavery. We can only hope that the real people in Russia in which this book was based, who have already over come this communism can get their lives back to what it was for only a short while, right after the rebellion.

"Chapter 6 and 7 show us Napoleon's willingness to distort the truth, to lie and to kill in order to retain and increase his control of Animal Farm."
Contention: Napoleons willingness to distort the truth, to lie and to kill in order to stay superior in animal farm is emphasized in chapter 6 and 7.
3 reasons why:
The terror.
The changing of the rules.
The hen’s revolution.
Some say money and power are the greatest things in the world, all of them not giving any sympathy to anyone else but themselves and in Animal farm by George Orwell this is shown greatly by a pig called Napoleon whose willingness to distort the truth, to lie and to kill in order to stay superior in animal farm. Which is also emphasized in chapters 6 and 7. This is shown threw the terror the changing of the rules and the hen’s revolution. But out of all the ways to seize power, death shows the character of the person and what their willing to do.
The terror shows us that napoleon is willing to do anything to retain power. The terror was when napoleon killed all the animals that had “sided” with Snowball, or was a “traitor” against Napoleon. Even though most of the animal’s barley did anything wrong. This showed the animals that napoleon will go to any measure to retain power of the animals but most of all to get rid of all the “traitors” and people plotting against him. Because he is so obsessed with getting power, equality has completely gone out the window and his bloodlust comes out. So to cover up his psychotic behavior he uses poor little Snowball who I think has actually not done anything wrong, as a scape goat for napoleons demented mind. If Napoleon is power Hungary enough to kill then he will probably break the rules to become more powerful.
The changing of the rules shows us how napoleon gets out of trouble when he seizes power. Even though Squealer seemed to be the evil one that changed the rules that night when the animals found him hurt because he had fallen off the ladder changing them, Napoleon is the true bad guy behind this because Napoleon abused his power to tell squealer to do it. Because of all the luxuries napoleon wanted like the beds, beer, to get rid of his “enemies” in the terror, money from Mr. Whymper, and the farm house he needed to once use his power and slightly changed the rules just enough so he could get away with these problems. Of course he made up some absolute bull of a story that all the animals either read it wrong or just have a bad memory, not only the dumb animals like the sheep, but even he said the smart ones forgot like Boxer and Clover. In the first stages of the changing of the rules were napoleon started to trade with humans and the hens were effected greatly, but they didn’t take to kindly to it.
The hen’s “mini” revolution is another pivotal event where napoleon shows his willingness to retain power. In the hen’s revolution napoleon demands 400 eggs per week but the hens refuse saying it is “murder” so they fly up to the top of the rafters and laid there eggs off the roof. So in result Napoleon took away their food so eventually they gave into napoleons demands. In total 12 hens died in their revolution, 9 by starvation and 3, the leaders of the revolution in the terror that napoleon conducted. This again shows that napoleon is willing to kill to retain power, even if it costs a couple of eggs he has to get what he wants and what is apparently good for the farm. It tells me that he dose not care about anyone else until he gets, in this case, his eggs, what he wants. But they’re more than eggs; they will turn into money which will turn into more power, making napoleon even stronger. Yes Napoleon is smart, and yes it was stupid and still is for the animals to follow him. But when did it become necessary to put money and power before blood and your brothers.
So overall Napoleons willingness to distort the truth, to lie and to kill in order to retain and increase his control of Animal Farm is shown mainly threw the terror, the changing of the rules and the hen’s revolution. But what could have sent napoleon on such a greed lust, from the old days of old major, were everyone was equal with no exceptions to the corrupt civilization napoleon now calls animal farm is far beyond me. So we can only hope that the next generation’s leader of animal farm, or Russia, is more like Old major and less like Napoleon.

Chapter 8 Summary
The Battle of the windmill and the mystery of the changing Commandments.
Main events:
There were many discussions between who napoleon should sell the timber to, first Fredrick was the traitor and the pigeons were to spread “death to Fredrick”, then it changed according to napoleons cunning to “death to Pilkington” but the wood was eventually sold to Fredrick.
The Windmill was completed but the machinery still needed to be bought and put on with the wood money.
The money Frederick gave to napoleon for the wood was false, so napoleon put a death sentence on Fredrick.
The next day Fredrick attacked with fifteen men with 6 guns driving the animals back to the farm taking over the windmill, and Pilkington wouldn’t help them out. The humans then used explosives and blew up the windmill so bad it was as if it was never there, so the animals attacked and drove them back losing a cow, three sheep two geese and injuring everyone even napoleon. This was called the battle of the windmill.
The pigs in their celebrating found whisky and the next morning Napoleon appeared to be dying (hangover) so he made alcohol punishable by death but was better the next day. But started work on growing barley to make alcohol.
Squealer was found changing the 7 commandments which was why the animals supposably had bad memories. He changed “No animal shall drink alcohol” to “No animal shall drink alcohol to excess.”
Quotes:
“‘No animal shall kill any other animal with out cause’ Somehow or other the last two words slipped out of the animals memories.” Page 61 Narrator.
“Napoleon was never spoken of simply as “Napoleon”. He was always referred to in formal style as ‘our leader, Comrade Napoleon’, and the pigs liked to invent for him such titles as Father of all animals, terror of mankind, Protector of the sheepfold, duckling’s friend, and the like” Narrator page 62.
“But at this moment the four pigeons who had been sent out on the day before returned, one of them bearing a scrap of paper from Pilkington. On it was pencilled the words ‘Serves you right.’” Narrator page 69.
“What matter? We will build another windmill. We will build six windmills if we feel like it. You do not appreciate, comrade, the mighty thing that we have done. The enemy was in occupation of this very ground that we stand upon. And now – thanks to the leadership of Comrade Napoleon – we have won every inch of it back again!”

Chapter 6 and 7 Focus Questions.
1. Find the rules broken in Chapter 6. Explain the pig’s justification for breaking these rules.
Conducting n trade and activity with the humans on page 44 when napoleon talks with Mr. Whimper. But napoleon said it was for food and the good of the windmill.
On page 45 when the pigs move into the farmhouse which was considered forbidden. Squealer said that the pigs, being the brain workers of the farm needed a quiet place to think.
Napoleon took on the name “leader” on page 45 when it was that all animals are equal. He took up his name because according to him if he wasn’t around Jones would come back.
The pigs slept in the human beds on page 45 when it was said that they are not allowed to. Squealer simply said that the rule was for no sheets, which were a human invention, but the beds were fine.
2. What happens to the windmill? Who do you think is responsible? Do you believe Napoleon's explanation?The windmill falls down in a violent storm, so the storm is responsible and napoleon is making up things to get the animals more on his side and against snowball so he can stay “leader”.
3. After the Terror, what consoles the animals?Many things do including all the animals huddling together for warmth under the windmill, Clover accepting that she would continue work and napoleons leadership even thought she thought it was better when Jones was around and the group singing of “Beasts of England”.
4. Squealer has a whole new story about the battle of the Cowshed. What is it? Why does Boxer have doubts? How does Squealer deal with this?Squealer says that snowball was a traitor from the beginning, being a secret agent for Jones and in the battle of cow shed he was planning to bring animal farm down, but when the animals asked about how he got shot, it was said that it was all part of the plan to make it look like snowball was good. Also Napoleon was said to be the bravest there because when snowball fled and the animals started to panic napoleon attacked Jones and put everybody in order. Boxer doubts this because he thought Snowball fought bravely and then they gave him “Animal hero, first class” straight after, but squealer says that napoleon has proof on paper documents that snowball was with Jones so boxer believes him.
5. What do the hens do? Why? How is it dealt with? What does this tell you about what Animal Farm has become?The hens refuse to give Napoleon their eggs which would be traded for grain and food so the animals could eat because they believed that it was murder taking that many eggs and possibly chicks. This is dealt with by napoleon taking away their rations killing nine hens until they agreed to napoleons demands. This says that Animal farm is becoming a violent almost dictatorship place to live.
6. Why do so many animals confess? Do you believe their confessions? Why or why not.Because the animals who believed they had done something wrong thought that it was their responsibility to confess about dealing with the traitor, snowball. I don’t believe some of the confessions because they talk about seeing snowball in a dream so it didn’t actually happen, so it wasn’t snowballs fault it was their own.
7. What is Boxer's response to the Terror? What does this tell you about how people responded to a similar situation in Russia?Boxer thinks that it is the animals fault not napoleons so he has to, as usual, work harder to impress Napoleon and make sure that napoleon is on his side. This says that in Russia that people were probably to scared to do anything so they just got back to their normal lives and worked at making Russia a better place.
8. Why is Beasts of England banned?
Because according to squealer a song of the Rebellion and now the rebellion is finally over with Jones, snowball and all the other enemies gone they now live in a better society, not one were their looking for a better society, which “Beasts of England” expresses. So it has no perpose.

Author Commentary
Carlos Olson.
This story was written to notify the greed and power hunger of the American president George W Bush Jr and his unfair driving of the American people to get more oil, which would turn into more money and power for him self.
The names in the story make it pretty obvious who I am attacking but I think they are all good play on words and motifs. Like Sodom Husain being changed to So-dam insane, Lio sounding like an exotic substance but originally being oil, George Bush being changed to William (his middle name) Bushly and Q8 which was a simple abbreviated version of the actual Iraq city Kuwait.
There was not too many images in the story but the only obvious ones were So-dam insane being a cockroach and Mr Bushly being a little fat ant.
So-dam insane was a cockroach to show that he was a dirty low level being often as the cockroach is seen as and Mr Bushly was depicted as being a little fat ant to show his greed and immaturity to get what ever he wants to make him more powerful.
Lio is a huge symbol in this story by being the one substance that everybody wants to improve their society and position of power in the world. If you have it in the story you are able to make working hours longer and therefore gain more time to collect crops and do other industrial activities which will eventually end up as money for the population’s leader, while in real life lio, as oil, will make electricity which will make cars and machines run and generate money faster than humans could by them selves.
My sentence lengths were deliberately put in to end when either the day or plans were finished.
The pace was quite the same through the whole story but the creative tension was done by leaving “…” to make the reader guess what would happen next. Like when it says “In and out and back home with plenty of lio was the plan, but oh how wrong Mr Bushly was…” leaving a big hole of what might happen and the reader guessing what it might be, making them want to read on.

Alagory story.
The search for eternal power.
By Carlos Olson 10E
The tiny dirt city of Antlanta lay silent at night while all the small bugs slept. The only ones awake were those tiresome soldiers watching guard out front of the president’s room, who goes by the name of William Bushly. William or Mr President was one of those fat little, chauvinistic, patriotically cocky men who believed that Antlanta was the only way.
It was a darker than usual night as Mr Bushly paced up and down his room, pondering about the perpetual blackness, often tripping over things he couldn’t see which intensified his rage. “What are we going to do about the night? I don’t like it one bit!” the president yelled with his triumphant voice. “It doesn’t matter dear, come back to bed” moaned first lady Barbara, the presidents wife, as she lay in bed. “It does matter; you see when its dark people get tired and stop working!” Mr Bushly said emphasising on the word working. “if I can find some way of making it light all the time, my people would never stop working and I would become the leader of the richest most powerful colony in all the land”……
The very next day Mr Bushly set up a team of the smartest ants in the colony to work on this very scheme. It took months off intense work to find out a way to make it bright but they eventually did. It consisted of a tall stick with a bowl on the top, and in that bowl would be water, grounded up dirt and a rare substance called lio. These ingredients mixed together probably made an enormous field of light. Many of these sticks would then be placed around the work areas so the workers would keep working through the night. The only problem was, lio was a rare substance around Antlanta and there was not nearly enough to make all these light sticks. Mr Bushly was stumped, he didn’t know what to do, so he resorted to the only thing he knew well and that was force.
All work was cancelled and trials were held for the next five days, to see the fittest, strongest and most deadly ants, to make an army which would go out and get the ever important (to the president) lio. And before you knew it the top three hundred thousand ants or now soldiers were ready to go out and explore the world.
The rumours were, from the wise Grass hoppers, that there was a huge river of lio was to the west in a land called Q 8. Q 8 was a mysterious desert land which was ruled by the evil dictator, So-dam insane. So-dam insane was a greedy little cockroach whose only ambition was to make money for him self no matter what his people had to go through (a bit like Mr Bushly). So the following Friday at 0 600 the troops began their long march.
It took many gruelling months of walking to reach the destination, even though Mr Bushly road there on tamed bitchy boys. The soldiers then found a camping sight just a hundred of meters out side of Q 8. Mr Bushly’s plan was to go in the following night with the remaining lio, water and dirt in a mini hand held stick, which the leader of each group would carry and attack the sleeping enemy. In and out and back home with plenty of lio was the plan, but oh how wrong Mr Bushly was…
The groups went in at night as planed and got to their positions ready to attack. But to their surprise the city was as bright as day, lined with like sticks down every street. This made the fight very even and over a longer period than predicted. The war actually seemed to take forever. Day after day, week after week, month after month and even year after year passed as the battle ragged on. With Mr Bushly having to call reinforcements as the Antlantians invaded almost half of the city.
Eventually after nearly a life time of fighting So-dam insane was captured and so was the lio. But with a heavy price on Mr Bushly’s life. Not only did his people back home dislike him for going to war but also for increasing work hours from six to sixteen hours with the new light sticks in place. So he was later voted out of office and a new female president was put in soon after Mr Bushly returned home. So the main lesson for Mr Bushly was that greed and power are not always the answer when you have to sacrifice your own to get it.
The end.

Chapter 5 questions
1) See Below.
2) My questions:
- Now with Snowball gone, do you think that napoleon will bring the farm down or advance it in technology and how it runs? Explain.
- In real life do you think Leon Trotsky; the person Snowball represents will come back to the farm? If so how will he do this? Look up the Russian revolution to do this.
- Do you think the windmill will actually be built? If so look up the Russian revolution and see what the windmill represents.
3) Kathleens Questions:
1.Do you think that the pigs should have gone with the windmill plan or the plan to increase food production?
I think they should have gone with the food production idea, because the windmill creates electicity which is a thing of man, so they are turning themselves into humans.
2.Do you believe that Napolean Is always right?
NO i dont think he is right, but at the start when him and snowball sort of getting along with thier ideas and the farm was working great.
3.What is the colour ribbon Mollie likes to wear?
mollie likes all differnet colours of ribbions as long as there ribbions.

Qoutes :
“What is the nature of this life of ours? Let us face it, our lives are miserable, laborious and short. We are born, we are given just just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies, and those of us who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our stregth” Old major page 3.
“Man is the olny real enemy we have. Remove man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and over work is abolished for ever.” Old major page 4.
“That is my message to you, comrades: Rebellion! I do not know when that rebellion will come, it might be in a week or in a hundred years, but it know, as surely as I see this straw beneath my feet, that sooner or later justice will be done.” Old major page 5.
“What ever goes on two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings is a friend. And remember also that in fighting man, we must not come to resembler him.” Old Major page 6.

Main events:
- Old major dies.
- Napoleon, Squealer and Snow ball took countroll of the animals and lead them to defeat the humans and took over the farm.

Qoutes
“Comrades those ribbons that you are so devoted to are a badge of slavery.” Snow ball page 10.
“Ribbons are considered as clothes, which are the mark of a human being. All animals should go naked.” Snow ball page 13.
"Now comrades, to the hay field! Let us make it in a point of honour to get in the harvest more quickly than Jones and his men could do" Snowball page 16.
Chapter 3
Everything is at peace…
Main events:
- The animal’s conduct a great harvest were every one is given the same amount of food.
- The pigs teach the animal’s basic reading and writing skills but some animals are better than others.
- Most animals cant remember or write the whole seven commandments so it is shortened to “Four legs good two legs bad”
- The milk problem is solved with a vivid explanation of the pigs needed it because it helps them make decisions and makes their brains work better.
Quotes:
“Comrades you do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? I dislike them myself. Milk and apples (this has been proved by science comrades) to contain substances absolutely necessary to the well being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers.” Page 23 Squealer.
“I will work harder!” which boxer adopted as his personal motto.” Page 18 Boxer.
“Donkeys live a long time. None of you has ever seen a dead donkey.” Page 19 old Benjamin.

Quotes:

“He is dead; I had no intension of doing that. I forgot that I was wearing iron shoes. Who will believe that I did not do this on purpose?” Boxer page 28.

- Snow ball gets driven out by the dogs and napoleon
- Napoleon takes rule and cancels Sunday meetings and forms a committee of pigs that take care of all the issues in the farm.
Qoutes:
""Do you give me your honour that that man was not stroking your nose?" Said clover. "It isn't true!" repeated mollie. Without saying anything to the others clover went to mollie's stall and turned over the strw with her hoof. HIdden under the strw was a little pile of sugar and several bunches of ribbion of different colours."Clover to mollie and the narrator page 30 -31.
"Commrades, i trust that every animal here appreciates the sacrifice that Comrade Napoleon has made in taking this extra labour upon himself. Do not imagine, Comrades, that leadership is pleasure! On the contray, it is a deep and heavy responsibility. No one believes more firmly than comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal..." Squearler page 37.
"That evening squearler explained to the animals that Napoleon had never in reality been opposed to the windmill... Snowball actually stole the drawing from Napoleon's papers..."Why whould he had spoken so strongly against it then?" That was Napoleon's cunning. He semmed to oppose it just to get rid of Snowball" Squearler page 38 - 39.

Book Report Carlos Olson
The book I chose for my book report was Deadly! No. 1 Nude, by Morris Gleitzman and Paul Jennings. It is number one in a range of five of the Deadly! series first published in 2000 by Penguin books Australia.
I chose this book because it was an easy read (thanks ms Wilson), and when I was younger I used to really like Paul Jennings so I thought it would be all right.
The series is about the adventures of two people, Amy and Sprocket.
Amy is the birthday girl but none of her birthday surprises are what she expected. First her mother has a nerves breakdown and her father is gravely suspected of having a different family with another woman, all on her special day. So what Amy decides to do is to investigate and hopefully find the truth of her deceptive father, but on this investigation she finds nothing but a baby and more theories about her father. Before she knows it a little blond six year old is shoving her and the baby into a military vehicle and speeding away out of town…
Meanwhile Sprocket has no idea how or why he is naked, in the middle of the jungle and has no memory of anything. But the only thing he knows is that some little six year olds want to capture him and take something away from him, even though he is naked and has nothing.
What I enjoyed about this book is the way they interchanged between stories which I think will eventually meet up together and become a good tale. But at the moment it isn’t a good tale.
What I didn’t like about this story was that how things happened so quickly and kept changing and how the maturity of the book kept changing. I didn’t like the pace of the story because it was too this happened then that happened with little explanation.
It was also very frustrating how the maturity level changes in the novel. At one moment it was talking about affairs, deception and biology, “All those nights you came in late and thought I was asleep and crept into my room to give me a kiss, when you ponged of someone’s perfume”, and then it is talking about little children searching through poo for something that Sprocket swallowed, “He looked at the big brown piece of poo as if it was made of gold.”
I actually wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone. It would be to mature for young people and to immature for older people and you also need to read all five novels to get anything out of the books because the first one leaves way too much open for you to put the others away.

Animal farm chapter 2 questions
Look at the seven commandments, where do they come from? Do you think they will be effective in ensuring in old major’s vision? Why? Why not?
The seven commandments, which are taken from old majors speech are very influential in the book animal farm, but I do not think it will be effective in ensuring in old major’s visions for many reasons, such as the pigs eventually will become corrupt with power and the picked leaders of the group instead of all being equal.
You can tell the pigs will eventually become corrupt with power because when they take the milk they do not return it and have it all to them selves meaning that they will eventually want more and more until they become humans and even if the pigs say everyone’s equal that is not true and is shown through one, themselves taking the milk and two, making themselves the leader of the group separating them fro the others.
Explain the significance of the milk. What happens to it? Why is this important? What does it suggest for the future?
The milk gets taken by the pig which is a very important starting point of the book because it shows how the pigs are starting to get greedy and putting themselves ahead of the other animals.
You can tell they are starting to get greedy because they took the milk for them selves and will later want more and more until they eventually take over everything and become humans themselves. But the even stranger thing is the animals are not smart enough to realise this, they trust the pigs about everything even though the pigs are taking every thing away from them that was promised.
