Animal Farm the Movie

As I continue to read more into my classic novel, animal farm, the descriptive words paints pictures of a movie in my mind. Certain characters in the novel remind me of people in real life. This makes the book easy to relate to. For example, a power hungry leader is trying to control all of the decisions being made around the farm, I can relate this character to a dictator in a foreign country like Kim Jun Un.  Another real life example is my friend Stevie, he reminds me of "Boxer". Boxer is a very hardworking individual who tries his best to build up his peers, this reminds me of Stevie bacause of how much work he willingly puts in to see others around him succeed. Steven would be a great choice for the voice of Boxer. If a movie was going to be made, the director should really emphasize the gore during the execution of the animals peers. During these scenes in the book the author uses powerful words to demonstrate the self destruction of the animals. At the start of the book the animals all worked together as comrades, now there is separation between them. The original rules were that no animal shall harm another animal. This was the first time in the novel that these rules were broken. If this book was made into a movie, the climax would be happening right now. I have not read any further than this climax, but if I were to guess how the movie would end; I would say that the farm will not survive and that the animals will continue to slowly destroy each other until there is nothing left.

Student needs.

In any classroom situation, the style of a teacher can make or break a learning experience. In the past I have had some teacher's I've liked and some that I have not. In my years as a student I found that the more outgoing of a personality they have the better! This is because they are exciting to listen to, where as a teacher that just hands out pages to read and doesn't make things interesting loses the attention of his/students. Specific examples of things teachers have done that I liked are getting breaks in the middle of class and allowing students to eat during work time. Both of these things are essemtial to healthy mind. The food acts as a fuel for thoughts, you simply can't think when you're hungry! Taking a break allows the brain to rest, by the time the break is over the brain is ready to start working again! These two simple things made learning much easier for myself. Something that I don't like is when teachers give no class time to do assignments and work. Not getting this amount of time after a lesson erases any chance for me to ask questions about the assignment. Having the time at the end of a period can further many people's learning and can cut back on confusion. If a teacher is able to satisfy the needs of their students, then the whole class will be more successful.
