Christina SNOWBALL: My character was snowball. I chose this song because it represents how everyone blamed snowball for bad things that happened to them. Like when the windmill was blown down, the food being gone, basically everything. In this specific part of the book,(pages 83 and 84 you learn that the windmill was destroyed, and Napolean is blaming snowball, when it is clearing not his problem. This song relates to the book because it says that it is not his fault and he always gets blamed. I think this song is also expressing how every time Napolean blames snowball for everything and then that makes snowball stronger and he comes back even better and is ready to have a dispute with Napolean.

media type="youtube" key="e5W9NstuguI" height="315" width="420" ===My character in the book of Animal Farm is Mollie. The song I thought fit Mollie the best was __The Great Escape__ by Boys Like Grils. I chose this song for Mollie's character because she was going over to Frederick's Farm and a the owner was petting her mane. The Animals on Animal Farm found out and she was forced to leave the farm. In other words she "escaped" the farm. I would use this song at the time in the "movie" when Fredrick was stroking Mollie's mane.===

Sean media type="youtube" key="rcw2LY6wtW4?version=3" height="360" width="640" =I studied all the humans, but this song is about the animals view on Jones. I chose //**I'm not afraid**// By Eminem. I chose it, because it descibes that the animals are not afraid of Jones and want to take over Manor farm. I would play this in the backround of Old Majors speech, instead of //**The Beasts of England**//, when the animals chase Jones off, and when they are fighting the humans in **//The Battle of the Cowshed//** (in Slo-mo).=

R.J. The cat is very sneaky and meticulous. When there was work to be done, like on the fields, he is never to be found. And he would reappear at meal time. Very sneaky. He would always find the most comfortable spot (between Boxer and Clover). He didn’t even listen to one word of any speeches. He can’t make up his mind. He is very lazy. He very not interested. He is very good at speaking.

Aaron I studied Old Major and Squealer. I chose //In the End// by //Linkin Park//. I chose this because it sends the message that in the end what Old Major did didn't end up making a difference because of Napoleon. I also think that the determination shown also reflects in Old Major's attitude toward Animalism. I would play this around the time when Napoleon started changing rules. media type="youtube" key="eVTXPUF4Oz4" height="315" width="560"

I had the multiple characters (the cat, the rats, the sheep, and the pigeons), and I chose to focus on the pigeons because they were the only characters that I could think of a song that would fit them. The song I chose is “Always On Your Side” by Sheryl Crow ft. Sting. The song is about a guy who leaves even though Sheryl was always on his side (basically, but listen to it first). The song matched the pigeons because they are always flying away to talk to the other farms, and even though they are told to tell the other farms contradictory things, they always stay with the pigs and Animal Farm. The trait that is embodied in this music is that no mater what happens, the pigeons always stay faithful to the pigs and Animal Farm. If I were a movie director, I would probably use this song any time the pigeons are telling the other farms about the rebellion or other (I don’t know specific pages). (I actually might also use this song for Mollie)media type="youtube" key="FseuxxcTlvA" width="425" height="350"THANKS!

Danmedia type="youtube" key="LCZinX209rA" height="315" width="420" I did boxer for this and chose time of dying by tree times grace. I chose this song because when he works and gets hurt, he wont stop, he will keep working, he will not die. The effect of the song ends when he gets slaughtered for money. I also think that this song reflects how devoted he is to the cause and how he will never stop working. Go from the 34 sec mark to the 1:04 mark.

Hannah I studied Muriel and Benjamin. I chose Winter by Vivaldi. I chose this because they are both literate, unloyal communists, and old. I thought classical music would work because it’s old and since the characters are literate, the fanciness of the song would reflect that in a way. The way the song can change themes reflects their lack of determination towards communism. I would play this when Benjamin is being described on the bottom of page 47 in the old version. I would play to around the 1:25 mark. media type="youtube" key="nGdFHJXciAQ" height="315" width="420"

Drew My character is Napoleon. The song is Power by Kanye West. It is a fairly new song. I chose this song because of the power that Napoleon gains in the book. I also chose this because it represents how Napoleon has all the power and all the rest of the animals are not equal to him at all. I would play this song during, when Napoleon expels Snowball, because at that moment he basically has just gained all of the power on the farm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L53gjP-TtGE

Rachel My character were Boxer and Clover. I choose to do mine on Boxer. I choose this song because it is about working. Boxer is a faithful worker to Napolean.He works the entire day for nothing but living space.The song is called Heigh Ho from Snow white. The Dwarfs sing the song. It is jolly and up beat even though occurences on Animal farm are not that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvXwdCxvQ_U

My character was Benjamin. The song that I choose was Whispering Pines by Johnny Horton. It is a old country song from the 40's. The reason that I choose this song because it's and older song and it is kind of slow like Benjamin. Also I think that the lyrics apply to him. At one point in the song it says “My heart is sad like a morning dove that's lost it's name in flight.” This apply's to Benjamin because he was really close to Boxer, and when Napoleon sold him I imagine that is Benjamin felt. If I was a movie director I would put this song in when Boxer in the car is leaving the farm.

My characters were the dogs.I chose the song 'Dog Face Soldier Song', because the dogs in Animal farm represent the Czar's soldiers. I think that this would play whenever the dogs come on. It os talking about how they will hurt you if you step out of line, which is also why I think it applies. []

My assigned character in __Animal Farm__ was Napoleon, the dictator-pig. I chose the song “Repression” by Zebra. This song is quite vague and hard to understand, but the way I interpret it is that the people are not happy with the way that their government is treating them. They believe that their government is repressive and is constantly controlling them, arresting people for very nonsensical reasons, and using propaganda to tell them lies. This is exactly what Napoleon does in __Animal Farm__. I think that the part of the book where this song would fit best would be after the confession scene where the remaining farm animals are up on the knoll, wondering what has become of their farm because they finally realize how cruel, untruthful, and repressive their “good leader,” Comrade Napoleon really is.

My character was Snowball. The song I chose is __Stronger__ by Kelly Clarkson. When I picked this song my idea was that it was Snowball singing to Napoleon. In the book, Napoleon orders the dogs to expel Snowball. The book does not explain where exactly snowball went, but we suspect that he is alive. This song represents Snowball saying that Napoleon can treat him badly, kick him out, and ruin his good name; however, Napoleon can't kill Snowball. I think that Napoleon expected Snowball to either go back to Animal farm and beg to be taken back, or the other farms to not want him and he would die of starvation. Snowball actually didn't to either of thoes things; Snowball actually stayed on either Foxwood or Pinchfield. The book said that he was at Pinchfield, but then Napoleon became friends with Pinchfield. Once Napoleon became friends with Pinchfield Snowball "moved" to Foxwood. We never really know where Snowball went, but we do think that he was doing well where every he was. The song says basicly everything that I think Napoloen was thinking. For example, the song says stuff about Snowball (Kelly Clarkson) doing better now (without the farm), stuff about him moving on, and stuff about Napoleon thinking that he won when really Snowball did. If I were to do a movie on __Animal Farm__, it would most likly be a musical with random songs here and there. I would place this song between pages 77 and 78 (new book). In these pages it explains that Snowball is hiding at either Pinchfield or Foxwood. It also says that Snowball sneaks into Animal farm and messes with stuff on the farm. I imagin this song happening when Napoleon is daydreaming about Snowball coming back to Animal farm, at the same time that Snowball is daydreaming about going back to Animal farm. My vision would be Snowball pacing back and forth thinking about Napoleon. Then it would flash to Napoleon thinking about Snowball. After it showed both daydreams, the movie would flash to their daydreams. Snowball would walk into Animal farm, and then walk up to Napoleon. Then the movie owuld start playing the music for the first verse, but Snowball woulden't sing that verse. Snowball would come in singing at about 25 seconds. =Ch. 1= =Old Major's Speech:= =problem: Animals' lives are "miserable, laborious, and short"=
