I think the worst part of animal farm in the parts that we have read was when Napoleon drove Snowball out of animal farm so he could have power. This was the worst part i think because of what this action did to the farm after Snowball was gone. If Snowball had not been run out i think with his leadership the farm would have been much better off. They would have kept up their good harvests and not broken all the rules that Snowball made for the farm in the first place.
When Napoleon did this i was angry because i thought Snowball was a good leader and he was much more fair and just all around better. If it had not been for Napoleons malevolent act of greed the farm would not have manipulated the farm and broken the 7 commandments. Also since the other animals on the animal farm like the horses and sheep are not so smart this was all easy for Napoleon to cover up and change the rules like they had always been like that. I think he is just mean and unfair to the animals just because they are not as smart as he is.

Animal Farm Insight
I really like the book because the way i learn history the best and like to learn history is not via reading directly about it. These metaphors that make up the book are really interesting and it is easy for me to figure them out. Mainly like who the characters represent and also i like how some characters represent a group of people or an ism. The bird thing for example represents religion and i can see that and it makes sense.
Not only does it make it easy to learn about the Russian revolution I also enjoy the fable/short story aspect of the book. I have always enjoyed reading fables because in the end you learn something and you can never expect another book or something else to go on. Finally i think it is fun to think about some of the things the animals are doing in the book. For example firing a gun, a horse stunning a human and building a windmill.

Winter break
Little did i know that when i woke up the next day the ground would be covered with beautiful snow. It would also kick off a very fun, very white winter break filled with fun. over the course of this winter break i went sledding, hung out with friends, played my new computer and i had a new years eve party at my house. My favorite of these was most definitely the party on new years, with only two of my friends, one of which was Nolan. We drank, sparkling cider of course, we watched movies and even messaged a guy random stuff on WOW chat for 2 hours. This was all super fun and that is why i think it was my favorite thing i did this winter break.
