Has anyone ever read the book animal farm?

okay, so i have to do a propaganda on the book, or well i have to find some kind of part in the story that i can make a propaganda out of, SO here was my idea, in one of the parts Old major mentions that its like a disgrace to wear clothing because animals were made out of it, something like that, and i was going to draw a picture of mr. j on one side doing a bunch of farm work and on the other side, have the animals having fun, and my slogan was going to be %26quot;Life is better when naked%26quot; LOL i don%26#039;t i just thought of that but yeah is it good? :]








or does anyone have any other ideas from the book that would be a good one? thanks :]
Has anyone ever read the book animal farm?
Yeah, that%26#039;s kinda cute.





One thing you could do though, is look up some propaganda on the Russian Revolution since the book was made to reflect that. You can probably make some parallels. But that%26#039;s just if you decide not to do yours.
Has anyone ever read the book animal farm?
I%26#039;ve read a different animal farm that was amazing when i was a kid and the farm used to go How goooes the work. not much help to you i know im sorry but very good book all the same.





Hope you get it sorted
Reply:It%26#039;s good, but you could also do some of Squealer%26#039;s propaganda.

Reply:heres one The Big Book of Boy Stuff I%26#039;m reading the big book of girl stuff.
Reply:We read %26quot;The Cay%26quot;, %26quot;Maniac Magee%26quot; (my favorite) and %26quot;Tuck Everlasting%26quot;
Reply:I adore graphic novels--and Invincible, Runaways, and Marvel 1602 are all amazing.


Invincible and Runaways are non-traditional superhero stories. Both involve children of super people--the first is a superhero, the other is a little more twisted.


1602 is interesting b/c it%26#039;s all the traditional Marvel characters (X-men, Fantastic Four, Spiderman, etc.) exist in 17th century England and North America. The artwork is wonderful and the writing (by Neil Gaiman) is fabulous. I highly recommend this one. Happy reading!

Reply:What kind of books do you like? Since you haven%26#039;t specified, I%26#039;m going to list several genres.





Realistic Fiction:





鈾erks of Being a Wallflower.








鈾lowers to Algernon (some people might think Flowers To Algernon is a bit mature for a 12-year-old because of some sexual material, but I think you can handle it).





鈾y Own Worst Enemy (This may be a little on the girly side for you, but I%26#039;m not very girly and I liked it)





Fantasy:





鈾燘artimaeus Trilogy. Great series, recommended to anyone but especially if you like fantasy. When I was in 6th grade, I saw a lot of guys (and girls, including me) reading it, and I assume that it%26#039;ll be alright for a 7th grader, too. It%26#039;s not childish.





鈾燛ragon. Haven%26#039;t read it, but a lot of people love it.





鈾燚iadem series. This one%26#039;s a little mediocre, but it%26#039;s okay, and entertaining.





Comedy:





鈽籋itchhiker%26#039;s Guide to the Galaxy. I read this one and loved it. It was so funny. It does require a lot of focus, though. It%26#039;s science fiction, but the main intention is humour.





鈽籘he Kitchen Man. It involves a man who is very relate-able and awkward. It%26#039;s fairly funny, but it%26#039;s also somewhat serious. The main character is a middle-aged man, but I%26#039;m a teenager and I liked it.
