Me on ! 50 read the excerpt below and answer the question. never listen when they tell you that man and the animals have a common interest, that the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of the others. it is all lies. man serves the interests of no creature except himself. and among us animals let there be perfect unity, perfect comradeship in the struggle. conduct research on the philosophy of karl marx, and write an essay of at least 200 words discussing the similarities between his philosophy and the excerpt from old major's speech.

This is just a list, and i do reccomend putting in your own words, but you don't have to.

Karl Marx

1) Oppressed by the Russian Empire before the Russian Revolution  

2) Karl Marx was widely recognized by his knowledge and philosophies

3) Marx wrote the "Communist Manifesto" which recorded his principals and theories of abolishing the class system.

4) Marx's "Communist Manifest" is convinced to be what Communism is based on. The idea of equality motivated Stalin and Lenin to start the Russian Revolution, which overpowered the Russian Empire.  

5) However Karl Marx did not live to see the Russian Revolution that took place in 1917. He was then buried in Highgate Cemetery, North London.  

6) After the Russian Revolution, Karl Marx's theories were distorted by Stalin, the Soviet dictator. He manipulated the people of the Soviet Union with violence and cruelty.  

Old Major

1) Oppressed by Mr Jones before the rebellion of the animals on Maor Farm

2) Old Major was a 'highly respected' (pg 2) boar by all the animals in the farm.  

3) Old Major expressed his initial idea  for all animals to rule and live freely through his speech in the 'big barn' (pg 4).  

4) Animalism convinced the animals that they are being oppressed by humans, and roared with their"wildest excitement" (pg 13). Major's speech then inspired Snowball and Napoleon to initiate the rebellion against Mr Jones.

5) Old Major died 'three nights later' (pg 15) without having the chance to witness the animal's revolution. The animals buried his body at 'the foot of the orchard' (pg 15).

6) After the animal's revolution against Mr Jones, Napoleon took charge of the Animal Farm. He abandoned the initial ideas that Old Major proposed, and corrupt the principles of Animalism.

hine was able to receive a high school and college education.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
