Plot Diagram for Animal Farm
1.
Old Major assembled the animals and he told stories of
a utopia where animals were in charge, man non-existent, food was plentiful, and
where all animals were equal.

Jones to bring the farm into animal control.

still fresh in everyone’s mind

farm, the animals rebelled against Mr. Jones and took Manor Farm

I am From Poem
I am from where you would most expect it
From many majestic maple trees
Inside our cozy complex
I am from viciously eating hot pancakes on the table
To the refreshing walks to school
I am from frigid cold ice rinks
From dedication and perfect practice makes perfect
I am from tremendous victories and devastating, demeaning, defeats
From warm, spring downfall
To scorching summer heat on my late July birthday
I am from succulent, cimamony, homemade apple pie
I am from loving, large, family get togethers
And silently listening to the Beatles soothingly
On
those long, friendly drives with my dad
So many moments I was glad to have had
I am from many Playoff disappointments
And the rare miraculous comeback
I am from working with 110% effort until my brain is jello coming out of
my ears
From a clink when we are
saying “Cheers”
To the relaxing feel of a PlayStation controller in my hand on a weekend
morning
I am from “good night pumpkin”
Fist pumps with my dad
And not to mention
I am from my little childhood bedroom on the 3rd floor

Robert Frost and John Lennon Questions
http://my43.sd43.bc.ca/class/rhethey/English%2010%20DI%20Documents/Robert%20Frost%20
-%20The%20Road%20Not%20Taken.pdf
ROBERT FROST
1. I think the “fork in the road” symbolizes decisions in life. You have to pick a direction to take your life, and the choice is always your own.
2. As the first line says, “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood” I would assume the season is autumn.
3. The poet decides which road to take based on the one that was less traveled by to be on his own path
4. I link the one less travelled by is the way of life that is more unique. The way of life that doesn’t just try to fit in with its surroundings. The line about it making all the difference is interesting. Living a unique life that you can be proud of definetly makes a difference compared to one that is alrea dy pathed out.
5. I think the poet is sorry he couldn’t travel both roads because he is adventurous. He wants to know what destination both paths would take. Again, if he was symbolizing life with the roads, it would make sense that you can’t travel both.

JOHN LENNON
1. John Lennon was trying to tell the world to imagine what life could be like without everything that is bad in the world.
2. Music helps make the entire thing more memorable. Every time the tune comes on, you know what you are listening to.
3. Imagine there's no heaven -- think about what it is like without the concept of it
Imagine all the people living for today -- Seize the day
Imagine there's no countries -- everyone is united
Nothing to kill or die for -- No war
No religion -- No more disagreements
Imagine no possessions -- Nothing to fight for
