Preface

In this project, I chose to compare the three story of Lord of the Flies, Things Fall Apart, and Animal Farm. This is because that these stories are all related to the society today. In the society today, people want power and money which cause them to do things that harm others or the society. Leaders will take money, fight for power and anything they can to survive. People are selfish, greedy, and harmful. Their ideas, thoughts, and action were just like animal. In the story of Lord of the Flies, Jack as a leader at the end wants power and tries to over throw Ralph. It is just like in the past where Leaders fight for land, resources, and power. In the story Things Fall Apart, Westerners enter Africa to conquer them, but they don’t use strength and fist. Instead, they use religion to influence the people and make the people follow them. Then, they use the power people give them to over throw the Africans that don’t follow them. This shows how people use different ways to complete their goal. People will do anything they can to survive, grow, and reach their goal. Lastly, in the story of Animal Farm, the pigs use the idea of communism to ask other animals to support them and help them overthrow farmers. Later on, Napoleon then kick Snowball out because of power and uses his trained dog to control other animals by dictatorship. Lastly, Napoleon acts like human when they control the animals. In this story, it shows how people wants power so much that they can betray friends and use their own friends as slave. After I read Animal farm, I wonder if it’s humans that act like animals, or is it animals that act like human when we kill and over throw people. Hmm….

In my newspaper, I used a time period to write about how leaders fail and how government collapse. These give people more understanding of what the stories are about. In my letter and post card, I talk about how characters meet problems and how people act after leader collapse. For the book cover, I make the background black and white because it shows that the society is always dark. I make the author’s name in color because he thinks society will get better. In the poem, I compare what pigs do and what man do to show how similar is human and animals alike. For the wanted poster, I listed out all the things Napoleon did as a leader and it’s all negative. Lastly the map of Things Fall Apart, it shows how people want power and go all around the world with all kinds of ways to conquer a land.
