The worst part in animal farm

There are many things in Animal Farm that I did not like because over all, this book frustrated me. The worst part I think is how dumb the animals are. They have no mind of their own. I understand they are animals but it still angers me that they don't try or do anything for themselves. For this reason, I liked Mollie because she is the only one who had pride and basically had her own opinion about things.

Also, I hated how all the animals listened to Napoleon. They did everything he said with basically no question about it. The new motto proves this because Boxer decided "Napoleon is always right." These animals were so oblivious to what was going on, they wouldn't know it if they were being killed or being turned into bacon. I guess all this shows how dumb the people were during the Russian Revolution.

Honestly, I have mixed feelings about Animal farm. At first I kinda liked it. The book looked skinny enough to not be overwhelming. Also, I liked how the chapters were shorter and were less stressful than the chapters of To Kill A Mockingbird. I enjoyed being able to read the book with a partner and going slowly to talk about things but at the same time it was extremely hard for me to focus with so much noise and every one at different spots. That activity was hard to stay focused but I ended up doing really well on the test.

As we go on, I realize that I don't like the book so much. For me, I don't enjoy reading about things that don't really happen. For example, all the animals can talk. It frustrates me to read about things that are not real. Also, in part of the book it talks about how the animal was giving out orders to a human which really annoys me. I guess I just don't enjoy using my imagination when it comes to non-existing things.

Winter Break Extra Credit

Well my winter break was quite eventful. Not! For the first half of break, I basically did nothing. I was house bound because I live on a pretty huge hill and considering we had around 12 inches of snow at one point, it was impossible to go anywhere in our sky blue mini van. I spent most of my days sleeping in until around 11:00 and getting out of my bed and moving myself to the wonderful plump couch in my family room to watch T.V. for the remainder of the day.

Since there was so much snow everywhere, most children were outside enjoying the white fluffy rain that made my break miserable. When you get to this age, going out in the snow is fun about 2 or maybe 3 times if you are lucky and then it gets old. Not only was I home bound, all of my volleyball practices and schrimages were cancelled because of this frozen pellets of rain falling from these huge gray clouds. The snow didn't cease to annoy me there. Once the snow started melting, my volleyball coach decided it was time to make up all of those missed practiced because of the lovely weather set-back. We had 5 practices in a row of volleyball with each practice being around 3 hours. I'm assuming you are realizing how sore my entire body was after this stream of practices.

In the end, the snow ended up being a blessing. Since all the schools were closed for all sport activities during break, the Valley allowed us to use their gym to get all those practices in and use their wonderful facilities. We had our first club volleyball tournament of the season on the Sunday before going back to school. Most teams we played were from places that got much more snow than us and only have had 2 practices all together. We ended up taking 2nd place, losing in the finals to a team from portland who each player was about the size of all my short ancestors combined and were a year older than everyone on our team. While I was complaining about the snow, it ended up being a blessing in disguise.
