Rumors say that most crimes are done by him, mostly nocturnal events like mutilated chickens and pets. Jem had never seen Boo. Dill, a friend of Jem, dared him to touch the Radleys House so Boo Radley would come out. ‘Jem threw the gate open and sped to the side of the house, slapped it with his palm and ran back past us, not waiting to see if his foray was successful.’ At first he was scared, but since his pride of never backing out on a dare was too big, he did it anyway.
“So Aerowiph,” Blain asked, “did you hear about the rumors?” “What rumors?” Aerowiph asked “The RaptureBloods. They’re trying to expand their territory again.” Dillen answered “And they’re going to do it, by taking over our land!”
He ends Sunday meetings, silencing the voices of the other animals. He changes the commandments of animalism to excuse his indulgence in human extravagances such as alcohol, and even his executions of fellow animals. Napoleon eventually declares himself the supreme leader of Animal Farm and changes, the seven commandments of Animalism to the maxim “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others” He then makes the transformation from pig to human and starts walking on his hind legs, wearing clothes, and carrying whips. In the words of the English rock band “The Who” “Meet the new boss, the same as the old
In order to demonstrate Homer’s message, Nestor’s speeches dial through two methods in which Nestor advises the Achaean men throughout the book. The first consists of speeches delivered in a nostalgic, prideful flavor as he speaks of his heroic past, using himself as an example. During Nestor’s first campaign “fighting Epeans over a cattle-raid”, he “charged their lines like a black tornado… [capturing] fifty chariots there, and each time two men bit the dust, crushed beneath [his] spear”

Absolutely nothing was left, as Albert Marrin wrote in his book, Years of Dust. This is especially emphasized on page 56, where he says: “All his hopes, all his hard work, had amounted to- nothing” (Marrin 56).

These situations are very similar being that both figures had attempted shots fired at them while or shortly after giving a message to their people. The last resemblance between Old Major and Lenin is that they both had either part or all of their body preserved after death. In Animal Farm, Old Major’s skull was put on display and the animals on the farm had to pass by it daily. “The skull of old Major, now clean of flesh, had been disinterred from the orchard and set up on a stump at the foot of the flagstaff, beside the gun. After the hoisting of the flag, the animals were required to file past the skull in a reverent manner before entering the barn” (Orwell 51).

They plot a rebellion against Mr. Jones and the mutiny is a success. Snowball and Napoleon lead the said rebellion, and renamed the Manor Farm to Animal Farm.

This allowed his company to continue the assault where he again, facing all odds charged 2 strong holds against a dozen men and eventually, killed them all as well. Eventually though he was wounded badly from a Japanese attack consisting of 3000-5000 men and had to be dragged 50 yards away. After many attempts by his fellow soldiers to assist him he denied their help and said he would rather die than risk the lives of more men. Under his orders he was placed against a small tree and given a 1911 pistol with only 8 bullets left in its magazine. Denying more offers for help, he was last seen sitting by a tree,
But, when British troops attacked his house, slaughtered his livestock and scared his small family; had no choice but to become a Patriot and go to the ruthless war. Then, when Hank woke up, saw that the bright day was warm enough to cool of Valley Forge and enjoy a large feast that the generals had brought. One of the soldiers, Ike, was a trusted friend that sacrificed him, but not in death, to save Hank from getting killed. Hank and Dorian didn’t seem to care of each other as well as Ike did. The story took place in Valley Forge during the winter, which killed a lot of men because of illness, hunger, and hypothermia.
They also fought fearlessly for the independence of their country. Some African Americans, even though they were not free, ran away and joined the military “…Many a runaway told the nearest recruiter that he was a freeman, anxious to fight. More often than not, he was accepted without too many questions: the army was always short of men” (Doc.5). In Valley Forge, countless people died during the harsh winter. “During the winter of 1777-1778, dozens of black Virginians served in every one of the state regiments, freezing, starving, and dying at valley forge”(Doc.5).They never gave up and marched and went through harsh drills for eight weeks.
Shays’ Rebellion During Shays’ Rebellion, what were the farmers considered? Farmers were being taxed 1000% more after the Revolutionary War and since they weren’t able to pay they went to jail. 1,500 men decided to break into the government’s arsenal and steal weapons.

Although people think of the farmers as rebels, nevertheless the farmers were freedom fighters because they fought against unlawful punishment, stepped up to demand rights, and fought for money that they weren’t given.
Jamestown is where it all began… King James Ⅰ sent 144 men to America to settle there, and it caused a lot of bickering and fighting along the way. The English men believed that the natives that already lived there would welcome them, so they let their guard down and were attacked. The reason that the natives didn’t want them there was because their chief Powhatan received a prophecy that another group would later become better than his, and he tried to defeat any other group that opposed his. Since the natives wouldn’t help them, the men started going very hungry, along with the intense heat, and within 8 months, more than half the men died. The hunger got so bad, that John Smith started trading with the enemy, the natives.
