Teacher’s example

Refer to Marx “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”
MY LECTURE NOTES
Mollie shirking
Cat shamelessly lazy, shyster, charmer
Old Benjamin “unchanged” “would express no opinion” “cryptic answer”
regular Sunday ceremony, “the meeting”
flag- symbolism, representative of ideal
pigs put resolution- animals vote
meeting ends “Beasts of England”
Napoleon & Snowball “never in agreement” (20), beginnings of power struggle
pigs have headquarters
Animal committees, all failures, animals reverting to type
literacy program, Benjamin “nothing worth reading” (21), most animals functionally illiterate, illiterate masses
therefore Snowball reduces seven commandments to “single maxim”
“essential principle of animalism” 4 legs good, 2 legs bad
Napoleon takes young dogs to raise
milk and apples go to the pigs, Squealer spins it with fallacious argument evoking science, specter of Mr. Jones, pigs sacrificing for animals
Test on Thursday – about Ch 1-3. Review your notes.
paragraph – address the question directly, no plot summary
If you read the chapters, made notes, and reviewed class work, you should be ok.
Quiz – sentence combining
Combine each exercise in one way- six sentences in total
Remember font size.
