Symbolism and Allegory Unit Reflection

-What did you study over the past few weeks?
The last few weeks I learned about symbols and the different meanings that they have. I also learned about allegory which is stories in which characters and places stand for something beyond themselves, usually virtues and vices.The different things that the class did for me to know what symbolism was the house symbol, what symbol represents you and a symbol that represents the character.For allegory we worked on making paragraphs about the characters and we also had assignments that were about allegory that is posted on our blogger. We also had made graphic organizers.My favorite symbolism and allegory assignment is a symbol that represents me and the allegory assignment about a character that we picked. Studying all this is had changed the way I think about the characters way and the tone that they speak. I also look deeply on the characters role.

“Animal Farm” Character’s Symbolic Meaning Paragraph

In the story “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, the character Boxer represents a hard worker. For example he always did what he was told so that made him loyal when he would do all the laboring and he would come home exhausted that was what made him a hard worker. In addition Boxer was a good person with good characteristics. This shows that he was the type of person that new what was right or wrong and new not to get in to trouble. People who are like Boxer would be a type of person that was an over achiever and did only what was right.

Animal Farm to the Real World

In the story Animal Farm by George Orwell, the puppies were brain washed to be guard dogs and chase those who were traders away and has allegorical meaning. This has allegorical meaning because in other countries young boys are kidnapped or taken away to be apart of the military. They are trained with guns and learned to not care but to obey there leader who had trained them. In the story the puppies were taken after birth and Napoleon trained them to be vicious and to guard him. They were also trained to obey Napoleon and not any one else including there mother. They were also trained to scare off those who disagreed or was a trader. In real life this is called military or dictatorship. I the stories matter it was a hunn of puppies who were raised by someone who wanted power and control instead of there mother who wanted them to be sweet and Innocent.

“Animal Farm” Revolution at SPA

So it was a nice Friday at SPA and Julie and Yemeni were hanging out because Yemeni had an injured ankle. Yemeni only trusted Julie to push her in the wheel chair because she did the same for her. So then Yemeni’s friend Betsy had began to be jealous because they thought that they were close like that. So Betsy was getting so jealous that she had to be in a bad attitude and have a negative vibe. So then the next day Yemeni wanted to talk to Betsy but she was so into having a attitude with her that she just looked at her, gave her a dirty look and said, “NO” in a nasty tone. Then that night Yemeni told Betsy that she was tired of the negativity and the ugly notes that she ended a friendship because Yemeni did not need some one like that. So Julie and Yemeni just hung out and did not bother with any one. Then it became a nasty and ugly argument then into a fight. Then the day after the fights and the arguments with students were increasing and it was not even a full moon. So the next day Julie was put to go some where for a bit and no one knows for how long. When Yemeni found out she was furious and mad because she thought that Betsy deserved to go as well because she was less innocent then Julie. Then the campus went crazy because the staff were unfair and scared the staff away and even some students. The campuses went ballistic and were not in shape after the staffs were gone. The campus did not know how to provide for them selves and there were arguments every day. Oh boy, this campus looks like a dump, with no staff to keep order these students made it look dirty and not sanitized. The student’s rooms were dirty and they were dirty them selves. Then at the end the students begged for staff to come back and ask for help because most of them were not ready to be alone. Then the staff came back and the students were put back on track.
