Symbolism and Allegory Unit Reflection

For the past few weeks we have studied allegory and symbolism. For symbolism we read a story call “Through the Tunnel”. It had many meanings and more of a deeper understanding of what the symbols are. For allegory we read a story call “Animal Farm”. It had many forms of an extended metaphor. My favorite symbolism assignment was a symbol for my house and it had a lot of meaning to it. My favorite allegory assignment was the graphic organizer. I kind of get the feeling of a more understanding when doing a graphic organizer. Studying allegory and symbolism has changed my thinking by what actually mean something without saying it, it can just be a symbol that represents something more than it looks.

“Animal Farm” Character’s Symbolic Meaning Paragraph

In the story “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, the character snowball represents admirable. For example, Snowball is very friendly and is always positive with everything.This shows that he’s a very optimistic. Even though, he kind of gave up at the end I still like him and he’s a good animal to me. This is something Snowball had sad, “Yes! We can read, we can write, we can paint signs, we can do anything! We can take care of everything all by ourselves". This shows how positive and confident he is even when things are going wrong.  People who are positive, optimistic, and admirable can get through hard times but people who are pessimistic have a hard time living their life. You just got to be positive.

Animal Farm to the Real World

In the story Animal Farm by George Orwell, for example when he lied about fighting and helping in the revolution, while he was really he was hiding away with Squealer has allegorical meaning. In the real world people lie too and hide away because they're scared. This story represent as more for children but there's a big meaning behind that an adult would catch in the real world.

“Animal Farm” Revolution at SPA

If we had a revolution on campus it would be crazy. A couple weeks planning of what to do, on a Friday night we started the revolution. That night the kids went in every house and  stole all the keys that SPA has. Taking every staff’s radios we made it ours and lock away all staff in the auditorium, they nailed all the windows down and the doors so they can’t break out. Every kid on campus has a key to a car and they also grabbed the staffs money, jewelry and including their car keys. We drove off and took all the money that's locked up in the cabinet. After a couple weeks the police found us and the staffs that were locked up away in the auditorium. We got sent to different placements. Everyone felt bad and apologized and some people went to Juvenile hall for a couple of months and some kids could not come back to campus. Everyone had to write letters to the county and every single staff. Some of the kids who actually get to come back had to be on restriction for a couple of weeks.
