Ms. Melville question

On the issue of the whether Kanye West is better then Jay-Z most of my classmates agreed Jay-Z was better. Most stated that he is just better. As stated by Rory "he is just the best". Nafis also agreed that Jay Z was better " Because I like his songs better". They have both have similiar reason why they thought Jay-Z was the better artist. But there was one indivisual who stood out. That person was Britttany she said "Kanye West was more creative than Jay-Z". And with that statement I agree with it a lot. The majority of my class voted for Jay-Z but it was for different reasons. So to answer the question Jay-Z is better than Kanye West.

What the election means to me

This election was a historical event. I personally thank God for allowing me to be on this earth during this historical moment. It was something that was long waited for. Not only because he was African American but how much he won by. It was something that I will never forget.

Barack Obama being president has an effect on me and future generations. It is not only a dream, but also a reality. African Americans can run for president and actually win. Not only by the color of there skin but also the effort that he put out. Even though Barack Obama is not completely African American that is even better.

It is better because I believe in the near future there will be more biracial couples. Another thing that really spoke to me was how Michelle Obama was a direct descendant of a slave or slaves.

This election also will change hope for future generations.

He also made the parks much larger having more rides.Even though Walt Disney was a great success there still were many of issues. For example in the time of Walt Disney World War II was going on and Hitler was in power. Also there was the copy write infringement that came about. The symbol of Mickey Mouse was to be kept because of the Copyright and it went to court. It did not just go to Court but it went to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ruled in Disney's favor and that was the end of that. The symbol still stands today.Walt Disney had a lot that he wanted to do as I stated before.

Even though everything he did was not perfect he still pretty much accomplished his number one goal 'happiness". Even today people still enjoy his wonderful works of art.Disney didn't just come out of the blue and began producing big time hits, it took hard work and effort. After he attempted to do commercial art he started producing films for local stores and advertisements. He than began to work on a piece called The Alice Comedies. Soon after the building funding this work went broke. So Disney packed his bags up and started to Hollywood. This all started before he was twenty two.Many of people and businesses could say they helped in Disney's success such as his first company Laugh-O-Grams, his brother Roy.O Disney, His Uncle's garage where they set up a store etc. Disney's success came partially from his love of art. Also his strong will to succeed. Another was his talents that were powerful in messages but also fun for people to enjoy.Walt Disney's amazing creations effects us today a great deal.

In the story Animal Farm obvious to see that many animals were strong. But in reality its not always the physically strong that survive but the mentally strong. The title of the book is Animal Farm and it was written by George Orwell in 1945 in the Beats of England. The book was a satire which criticizes Stalin and the Russian people. In animal farm the way characters respond to different stories have a strong connection to their ability to survive.

For example you have Boxer the horse believes everything and every story that is told to him. His famous two quotes were that of "Napoleon is always right" and " I will work harder". Boxer also never spoke up and stated his opinion in the whole situation. Even being one of the strongest animals on Animal Farm, he still may have been intimidated by Napoleon and the pigs. An example of Boxer believing lies would have to be when the windmill was destroyed and Napoleon said that Snowball did it when in reality the farmers did. Boxer did nothing and continued to work. While being strong helped him in most aspects of his life his intelligence was not quite there and since he was fooled easily he was easily tricked into being sold to a horse slaughterer.

Another animal would be Squealer the pig. He was most famous for his persuasive words. He could twist a story and made a lot of the animals believe him. One example for this would be how he changed one of the commandments about beds. Originally the rule was that animals were not to sleep in beds. But according to Squealer they were not aloud to sleep in beds with sheets/ covers. Second there was a suspicion that someone stole the milk and apples but in reality it was the pigs who stole it. Squealer said that "they needed the milk and apples for brain power. Last but not least he changed the whole story of the rebellion. What really happened was that Snowball leaded the Rebellion and made the farmers follow him so that all the big animals would be able to plunged on top of them. But some how Squealer convinced the animals that Snowball had ran and acted "cowardly". Seeing how Squealer lied his way through the book he ends up extremely powerful in the end

.Lastly there is Benjamin the donkey. He was one of the few animals that could read and actually understand what he was reading. He kept to himself. Every time there was a debate or something went wrong he did not respond even though he knew that everything was going so wrong. Benjamin was also one of the animals that figured out that the commandments had changed and also realized what the pigs were trying to do. Even after the pigs rose to power he knew all about the pigs and the humans coming together. An example of him knowing that things had changed would have to be that of Benjamin knew that on the side of the truck it said horse slaughterer but indeed the pigs stated that it was no longer that and it was under another name. Toward the end of the story he said that " It was hard to tell the difference between the pigs and the humans.". Keeping to himself and also his comments had to work because he lives in the end.

The different ways that characters in Animal Farm respond determine whether they live or die. Squealer lies throughout the whole book and lives. He also becomes very powerful. Boxer working so hard and being foolish and not opening his eyes to what really was going on his result was death. And lastly Benjamin being wise and paying attention lets him survive but leaves him very unhappy. Animal Farm connects to the real world because as in history and the story most times the bad guy actually win.
