Snowball Symbolism
snowball is a good leader and cares for everyone. The quote is "No sentimentality comrade! cried Snowball from whose wounds the blood was still dripping. This suggests that he does not want Boxer to regret about Snowball getting injured and wants everyone to continue on fighting. The word sentimentality means do not regret. It links with the quote no mercy when he was injured and in pain. Also Snowball is a character who wants the enemies to be killed and shows no feelings towards them. The quote is "War is war. The only good human being is a dead one." This suggests that he wants the humans to be killed, not alive. He only wants animals to be in this world and wants the enemies to be gone far away from this

    • 8 Pages

    In Rawson Marshall Thurber’s Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Peter LaFleur attempts to save his gym. For the time being, Peter is just another man in society. He is nothing special. He does not drive a nice car or live in a nice house. This is shown through his gym, coincidentally named “Average Joe’s Gym.” This gym represents the way Peter lives his life. When the film starts out he says that he always aims low. That way he is never disappointed. While true, he has never had any real success in his life. However, this is all about to change. What Peter does not know is that he is about to come into one of the most important battles in his life, symbolic of the greatest battle of all time; the battle between Christ and Satan. Peter, the hero in this film, is about to go up against White Goodman, the owner of a competing gym. From the start, it does not look like he can win. However, he does win, with the help of Christ figure Patches O’Houlihan. This film is an obvious representation of the Christ story, while emphasizing the theme that good will triumph over evil.…

    David Guterson’s Snow Falling On Cedars is an outstanding book with an amazing story. It is very detailed. The book begins by making an absolute dispute for animosity, talking about the citizens of San Piedro Island. The setting of the book is very dark in the foggy winter of December, during a thick winter storm in 1954. In the courtroom, a murder trial is held against the accused, Kabuo Miyamoto, for supposedly murdering Carl Heine. As the story goes on, it goes back in the past to figure out the real story behind this “homicide”. Later, it is revealed that there is a deeper dispute between the Anglo-Americans and the Japanese people. This is just one story to the book. The other story is about love and the past. The past is never forgotten by a white boy named Ishmael Chambers, who is deeply in love and heart-broken by Hatsue Imada (the wife of the accused).…

    Snowball is very inventive, he strives to make new innovations on the farm. For example, “He talked learnedly about field drains, silage, and basic slag, and had worked out a complicated scheme for all the animals to drop their dung directly in the fields, at a different spot every day, to save the labour of cartage.” Snowball comes up with these schemes by himself and presents them to the animals. He has read books…

    In the poem our sad September snow uses similes to enhance the events of 9/11 by comparing them to another dangerous object such as the example of ‘Steel dropped like meteors’.

    Orwell contrasts Napoleon and Snowball in a way that forces them to have contradictory ideas. Snowball wants pure communism where everyone benefits equally, whereas on the other hand Napoleon prefers power. Snowball invents all of the ideas and arranging the animals into committees to help the farm in the best way possible. An example of this was the idea of building a windmill which would make 'jobs around the farm a lot easier, as well as warming the animal's stalls in the winter', with the introduction of electricity. Throughout the committee…

    The novel Snow Falling on Cedars by author David Guterson reveals both a tragic love story between two of the main characters, and, on the other hand, the everyday life on a small, secluded island. Within the island of San Piedro, society is formed of individuals, who belong to two different ethnical groups – and with that difference in mind, other, more deeply-rooted matters come to the surface. Although every individual is granted equal rights, not everyone receives the same treatment – the base for this discrepancy being racial belonging and skin color.…

    Symbolism In Cold Mountain

    • 1142 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Cold Mountain is not only a love story, but also a great American tribute to the everlasting side effects the war had on its soldiers. Although the novel doesn’t tell a true story, it represents much more than just a quick read that happens to have a historic background. Like any other author, Charles Frazier uses the undertones and downfalls of a country divided in two to portray the lasting consequences both sides will eventually face. The story is told in the two main character’s points of view. The stories of each start off separate, but throughout the novel, are worked into one and will ultimately lead to one the main character’s death.…

    Orwell also presents Snowball as tactical and intelligent. He says that he ‘was in charge of tactical operations’, in the battle of the cowshed which shows that he is intelligent, not only because he has planned what to do, but because he has been considered he best person to do it. Orwell later writes that ‘he talked learnedly about field-drains, silage and basic slag’ which shows that he is knowledgeable and wise and that he is bothered to look into such things. The use of technical language like ‘silage’ also makes him seem intelligent, by implying that he is advanced enough to understand these terms. This again shows similarity to Trotsky because he was the tactical general in the Russian revolution and like Snowball is for the farm, he was the military strategist for the communist party.…

    Shortly after the expulsion of Snowball, Boxer said this: “If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right.” This is allegorical as Boxer is meant to stand for the Russian proletariat, the powerful but often simple-minded working class. They are naturally drawn to Stalin like how Boxer is to Napoleon, because it seems like they will benefit the most from their new system instead of the old one.…

    Woodstock Symbolism

    The 60s, for some, can be remembered as a wonderful time, symbolizing a decade of love and harmony, where music brought one another together. Others remember this time as a decade of America’s moral decrease, with the dawn of rock and roll and the "sinful", inappropriate culture that it generated. In 1969 somewhere between 40,000 and 50,000 people gathered at Woodstock to celebrate their music, their love, and their freedom in the concert that has remained one of the most influential events of the 60s. “Some say [Woodstock] symbolized the freedom and idealism of the 1960s. Critics argue that Woodstock represented much of what was wrong with the '60s: a glorification of drugs, a loosening of sexual morality and a socially corrosive disrespect…

    “I (Old Major) have little more to say. I merely repeat, remember always your duty of enmity towards Man and all his ways. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings is a friend. And remember also that in fighting against man, we must not come to resemble him. Even when you have conquered him, do not adopt his vices.” George Orwell, Animal Farm (11). Old Major, the oldest and wisest pig on the farm, described to the animals what life would look like without Man ruling their lives. Animal Farm was not supposed to look like another ordinary farm, but one that thrived and was peaceful without Man ruling over them. Snowball, one of the farm’s leaders at the beginning, would have been a far better leader then Napoleon, who was also a leader on the farm. He, Snowball, put the farm’s prosperity above all else because he wanted to see the life that Old Major described. His heart showed that he truly would have proven to be a better leader than Napoleon. Through planning and…
