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.

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.

In the next book Breaking Dawn she is planning to get married to Edward, but she still cares about Jacob. In August we%26#039;ll find out if she ends up with Jake or Edward, but currently she%26#039;s with Edward.

Any good book suggestions for summer reading?
Here are some of my favorite teen and some adult-ish novels:
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. It%26#039;s about a girl named Bella who moves to Forks, Washington and runs into a group of vampires. VERY VERY good! I REALLY think you should give it a chance because I%26#039;m not into vampire stuff, but it was AMAZING!
http://stepheniemeyer.com/twilight.html
Pants On Fire by Meg Cabot. It%26#039;s about a girl who basically has everything (popular best friend, good grades... and TWO boyfriends.) It%26#039;s really funny because then her friend from eighth grade come back to town (everyone hates him) and she falls head over heals for him too.
http://www.megcabot.com/
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares. It%26#039;s about four girls who where born as friends. They go through ups and downs together.
The Last Summer (Of You and Me) by Ann Brashares was amazing. It may be more of an adult book, but it was fairly good.
All-American Girl and All-American Girl Ready Or Not by Meg Cabot. It%26#039;s about an outcast girl who happens to save the presidents life. Suddenly everyone at school wants to be her friend, but she doesn%26#039;t really care... What she does care about is the presidents son...
Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot. It%26#039;s about a girl who goes over seas with her boyfriend after (almost!) finishing college. After a bad break up with him, she goes with her friend and runs into someone.... It%26#039;s a very good adult book!
How To Be Popular by Meg Cabot. It%26#039;s about a girl who comes across an old book in her grandma%26#039;a attic called how to be popular. So, she follows the rules of the book hoping to become popular.
Jinx by Meg Cabot. If you liked Twilight, then you%26#039;ll like this book. It%26#039;s about a girl who has bad luck all the time so she moves in with her aunt and uncle. He sister is into witchcraft and I don%26#039;t want to spoil the rest, but it fairly good.
Teen Idol by Meg Cabot. This is about a girl who has an advice column in her school newspaper. So, when a famous actor comes to her school and she%26#039;s the only one who knows about it, chaos occurs!
Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen is also pretty good. It%26#039;s about two girls that are best friends who are having a few issues in the love department.
http://www.sarahdessen.com/?q=books
Just Listen by Sarah Dessen is one of my favorites! It%26#039;s about a girl who had something terrible happen to her and she%26#039;s learning how to cope with it and befriends an outcast boy.
The Mediator series by Meg Cabot. I%26#039;ve only read the first two, but they are VERY good. It%26#039;s about a girl named Suze who moves to California from New York because her mother just remarried. Oh, and Suze can see ghosts...
13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. It%26#039;s about a guy named Clay who gets these tapes in the mail about why a girl named Hannah killed herself. It%26#039;s very good and a great page-turner!
http://www.thirteenreasonswhy.com/
She Went All The Way by Meg Cabot. This is a book for more mature people, but it%26#039;s very good. It%26#039;s about two people who get stranded in the wilderness.
Forever... by Judy Bloom is also pretty good. It%26#039;s about a girl getting a boyfriend and going through sensual things. It%26#039;s a little mature.
Nick and Norah%26#039;s Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan is okay. My friends LOVED it! I don%26#039;t wanna tell you what it%26#039;s about because it%26#039;ll just give it all away.
The Host by Stephenie Meyer. It%26#039;s about how these things called souls invade Earth, as well as humans. It%26#039;s based on a soul named Wanda who is placed into Melanie, who refuses to fade away like she%26#039;s suppose too. It%26#039;s very interesting and I totally recommend it!
http://stepheniemeyer.com/thehost.html
Good luck with finding a book! I hope these help!
Any good book suggestions for summer reading?
few years younger then you,
but if your thinking of reading over the summer, i%26#039;ll either recomend the historian by elizabeth kostova, or the pillars of the earth by ken follett.
just finished reading the book by ken follett, i had to skip a few pages for.. stuff, but if you don%26#039;t mind that, then that book will last a few weeks, otherwise the historians amazing too. lost the book before i could finish it, but it was pretty good while it lasted.
Reply:Well, it really depends on your interests. That is a major factor in finding a book that%26#039;s good for you. If you like adventurous and fast paced try Harry Potter, but if that%26#039;s getting old, try the Lightning Thief (the gods still exist and Percy Jackson is a forbidden son of Poseidon, he must go on a quest to prevent world disaster), Artemis Fowl (an 11 year old evil genius kidnaps a fairy tries to exploit the whole race), or The Sisters Grimm (fairy tale characters still exist and are confined to Ferryport Landing, New York; the Sisters Grimm are the ancestors of the the famous brothers and have to try to keep the peace in the small town). If you like a book with an interesting plot try Maneater (when a gold digger finally decides to get married, she accidentally ends up with a poor man). Montmorency (after spending time in prison a thief disguises himself as a gentlemen, while stealing from the rich) is also very good.

But everything changes when Macy is corralled into helping out at one of her mother%26#039;s open house events, and she meets the chaotic Wish Catering crew. Before long, Macy joins the Wish team.

But the best thing about Wish is Wes鈥攁rtistic, insightful, and understanding Wes鈥攚ho gets Macy to look at life in a whole new way, and really start living it.

# When it comes to relationships, Remy doesn%26#039;t mess around. After all, she%26#039;s learned all there is to know from her mother, who%26#039;s currently working on husband number five. But there%26#039;s something about Dexter that seems to defy all of Remy%26#039;s rules. He certainly doesn%26#039;t seem like Mr. Right. For some reason, however, Remy just can%26#039;t seem to shake him. Could it be that Remy%26#039;s starting to understand what those love songs are all about?

Reply:This Present Darkness by Frank Perretti
Ashton is just a typical small town. But when a skeptical reporter and a prayful pastor begin to compare notes, they suddenly find themselves fighting a hideous New Age plot to subjugate the townspeople, and eventually the entire human race. This Present Darkness rivals The Screwtape Letters with its keen insight into spiritual warfare and the necessity of prayer. It is fast-moving, riveting reading, ranking with the best thrillers on the bookshelf. Readers have picked up more than 2.5 million copies since its publication in 1986, and, with its companion volume Piercing the Darkness, it has sparked great interest in spiritual warfare over the years.
This is a GREAT book, even if you aren%26#039;t spiritual or anything...very interesting and exciting!
Reply:Impulse, Crank, Burned, Glass and other books by Ellen Hopkins. If you get bored easily reading these books are great, you can fly through them even though they look challenging. Also you can check reading lists from schools to see other ones too.
They are about peoples struggles in life, teens and struggles with peoples problems and life choices.

-A memoriar of The authors disfunctual life and how he grew up. TRUST ME, he had a interesting lifestyle. A;so a move after u read the book u should rent (not 1/2 as good as the book)

This Lullaby - Remy, Jess, Chloe, and Lissa are friends (sort of) and now it is the summer between high school and college. This is a time of transition for each of them, but the story concentrates on Remy who because her mother has had a series of husbands and Remy never even met her father, she is very cynical about love.

# When it comes to relationships, Remy doesn%26#039;t mess around. After all, she%26#039;s learned all there is to know from her mother, who%26#039;s currently working on husband number five. But there%26#039;s something about Dexter that seems to defy all of Remy%26#039;s rules. He certainly doesn%26#039;t seem like Mr. Right. For some reason, however, Remy just can%26#039;t seem to shake him. Could it be that Remy%26#039;s starting to understand what those love songs are all about?

Reply:This Present Darkness by Frank Perretti
Ashton is just a typical small town. But when a skeptical reporter and a prayful pastor begin to compare notes, they suddenly find themselves fighting a hideous New Age plot to subjugate the townspeople, and eventually the entire human race. This Present Darkness rivals The Screwtape Letters with its keen insight into spiritual warfare and the necessity of prayer. It is fast-moving, riveting reading, ranking with the best thrillers on the bookshelf. Readers have picked up more than 2.5 million copies since its publication in 1986, and, with its companion volume Piercing the Darkness, it has sparked great interest in spiritual warfare over the years.
This is a GREAT book, even if you aren%26#039;t spiritual or anything...very interesting and exciting!
Reply:Impulse, Crank, Burned, Glass and other books by Ellen Hopkins. If you get bored easily reading these books are great, you can fly through them even though they look challenging. Also you can check reading lists from schools to see other ones too.
They are about peoples struggles in life, teens and struggles with peoples problems and life choices.

-A memoriar of The authors disfunctual life and how he grew up. TRUST ME, he had a interesting lifestyle. A;so a move after u read the book u should rent (not 1/2 as good as the book)
It is a good book. But, get permission to read it from ur teacher 1st (this is for school right) cause it is not school appropriate.

GO TEAM EDWARD, (for the record, Jacob needs to get over Bella.)
Reply:Team Edward.
2 good 2 b true.
At the movies. Where else?
Reply:Edward. According to Stephenie Meyer, (this is an eclipse spoiler), Jacob never imprinted on Bella, which means that Jacob is not Bella%26#039;s soul mate. And besides, Edward is amazing. He is an attractive, noble, bloodthirsty vampire who wants to basically eat the girl he is in love with. He accepts that Bella loves Jacob as well, though Jacob can%26#039;t handle Bella loves Edward more. My bet is with Edward. What not to love?
Reply:EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He%26#039;s AMAZING!!!!!!!
I do think Jake deserves a happy ending though.
But Bella and Edward will end up together. Jake just needs a nice girl to imprint on.

though i do love edward.
Reply:Team Jacob.
I love the character of Edward. I like his old-fashioned morals and values, I love his self-control and willingness to protect Bella. I even like the fact that he believes in the idea of souls and is unwilling to make Bella what he is. Though Edward does have a temper (he did throw Jacob around in the tent and he did smash up a TV when the Cullens voted whether to make Bella a vampire or not), he has learned to control it. I%26#039;ll admit I am still trying to figure out why Edward loves Bella. I know it%26#039;s not love at first sight.
However, it is all about Jacob Black for me. Jacob was able to take care of Bella when she was devastated by Edward leaving her. Jacob and Bella were able to develop a friendship despite Bella%26#039;s broken heart. I think Jacob truly loved Bella because he protected her and %26quot;told%26quot; her about his true identity, despite the Quileute treaty. A lot of people hate on Jacob because of how he deceives Bella into kissing him and also because of how he attempts to goad Edward into losing his temper. Jacob is doing what any young man would do in love: fight for what he wants and protect his friend from dying. Edward does the same thing; he just has more finesse than Jacob does. But Edward does have 80 something years on Jacob, and he has more practice at self-control and controlling his temper.
Jacob falls in love, finds out he is werewolf, and then finds out the girl he loves is in love with a vampire, his mortal enemy! I think he takes it a lot better than anybody else would. He doesn%26#039;t kill Edward, and though he is not exactly civil toward Edward, he somewhat tolerates him for Bella%26#039;s sake.
Jacob also allows Bella to be...well, Bella. He doesn%26#039;t push her to talk about her heartbreak over Edward. Although he does worry about her safety and her clumsiness, he still teaches her how to ride a motorcycle. He even keeps her warm during a freezing storm.
Although Jacob does have his faults and makes mistakes,I feel sorry for him. He deserves to have someone love him, and only him. He deserves better than to be somebody%26#039;s afterthought or substitution for the real thing.
Bring on the imprinting! Bring on real true love for Jacob!
Team Jacob 4 Eva! Long live the Quileute Pack!

Reply:Team Edward.
2 good 2 b true.
At the movies. Where else?
Reply:Edward. According to Stephenie Meyer, (this is an eclipse spoiler), Jacob never imprinted on Bella, which means that Jacob is not Bella%26#039;s soul mate. And besides, Edward is amazing. He is an attractive, noble, bloodthirsty vampire who wants to basically eat the girl he is in love with. He accepts that Bella loves Jacob as well, though Jacob can%26#039;t handle Bella loves Edward more. My bet is with Edward. What not to love?
Reply:EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He%26#039;s AMAZING!!!!!!!
I do think Jake deserves a happy ending though.
But Bella and Edward will end up together. Jake just needs a nice girl to imprint on.
