Last one!!!
I'm very proud of you all for working so hard on this assignment. Now I want to know your thoughts about this quote:
"When [an allegory] succeeds in its literary purpose, it leaves us with a deep indefinable feeling of truth; and if it succeeds also, as Orwell set out to do, in a political as well as artistic purpose, it leaves us also with a feeling of rebelliousness against the truth revealed" (C.M. Woodhouse 1954).
1. In your opinion, did Orwell succeed in both purposes? What is the "truth" you got from this novel?
Remember- you don't have to write 150 words. Just a sentence or 2.

I feel as though Orwell did succeed in both purposes...for many reasons. Book was O.K..
ReplyDeleteI feel that Orwell succeed wiht both purposes, one of the truths that I got from this novel is the way that the Russian goverenment was treating their people. The book was not something that I would normally, but not one that I would pick up off the shelf and read.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Orwell did succeed in both ways. He did a very good job in comparing the characters in the book to historical figures. Overall the book wasn't too bad.
ReplyDeleteI concluded that Orwell did achieve in both ways. To be honest I didn't find the book to be very interesting.
ReplyDeleteOrwell suceeded with both first he suceeds with the truth by painting the picture that Napoleon was a commie.It also made us compassionate to the injustices put on the animals. The book wasnt bad.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Orwell succeeded in making Animal Farm have a political and artistic purpose. In my opinion this book showed how communism in theory is a good concept. In application however, it doesn't work because of greed and differences in work ethic. Overall the book was an interesting artistic and political view of communism.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Orwell did in fact succeed in trying to make Animal Farm have an artistic and political purpose. The way he compares the animals to important people in history makes for an interesting storyline and using animals made it more entertaining. I actually enjoyed reading this book.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Orwell did succeed very much in trying to give Animal Farm and artistic and political purpose. Especially since he uses personification in the entire book. I enjoyed reading this book, and it did a very good job of demonstrating Communism in a different way.
ReplyDeleteI think that Orwell succeeded in both purposes because and all the characters resembled the people in history really well. I thought the book was good.
ReplyDeleteI believe orwell did succeed because he was he realted everything together very good in an artistic and fasinating way.
ReplyDeleteI think that Orwell succeeded in both a political and artistic purpose. His use of animals to represent real people was an artistic way of revealing the truth behind Stalin’s way of running a country. I personally enjoyed reading Animal Farm and would read it again someday.
ReplyDeleteI believe Orwell suceeded in both purposes. I say that because in the artistic way, he made the animals relate to humans and had specific roles for them and in the political aspect the roles the animals played were able to be identified as humans we know of in our past and can see the similarities.
ReplyDeleteI think that Orwell did a good job in creating a feeling of rebelion. He made the reader dislike the pigs and what they were doing to the other annimals, so it angered the reader. I didn't get a very clear sense of truth though.
ReplyDeleteI think Orwell definitely succeeded in artistic and political ways. He painted the picture that communism could work but it would be tough to do because of the way people are. I liked this book, but it is not the typical book i would read. I would not have picked this myself but I'm glad I read it.
ReplyDeleteyes orwell did succeed because he got everyone to think about the way other governments were working, like communism. He got to talk about controversial topics without naming people. He made us think about things that we don't really deal with, and he gave us a different view on things.
ReplyDeleteOrwell in my mind did not succeed. If i read this book on my own i would not have come to the conclusions that we have discussed is class. I hated this book. This book was bush. No one should ever have to read this book. Sorry ms.Roc-a-fella....
