Animal Farm Evaluation

Nic: Picture
Totally relates to the book and how manipulative Napoleon really is. But holds a lot of literal meaning with the beer and the clothing, and standing on two legs.

Aqua-Man: Comic strip
Basically a summary of the original story, pretty cool though. It was funny though to see the animals with the little music notes above their heads when Major is supposedly teaching them Beasts of England.

Catherine: Picture
I think it might have been a bit better if it showed more of a relation to the Russian Revolution, like labelling the dogs "KGB" and giving the pigs their names. What is shown doesn't really describe the plot or the relationship between Animal Farm and it's corrupted society.

Conor: Picture
Woah. Looks amazing, shows the reason the book was written (reference to Russian Rev.) and still describes a part of the story (with manipulated commandments).

Maddie: Comic
My main confusion: the last pic is labelled "after taking power". Is this from the pig's perspective? Because the animals didn't really succeed in ridding the world of humans.

Britta: Song/Poem
Gives a good understanding of the book, even to those who haven't read it. Super cool, it even rhymes!

Aaron: Comic/Pic
Was hard to understand at first, the explanation below is very helpful though :) shows lots of understanding of not just the story, but the ironic cycle Animal Farm has become stuck in.

Meghann: Picture
  Hahahaha, that's exactly what it's like! This shows the animal's lack of knowledge, and the pig's ironically powerful ability to abuse power.

Daryl: Picture/Comic
Isn't all that clear but it's still okay since we all read Animal Farm. Shows reference to book with the manipulated commandments, and I got that the whole power by creator reference was Napoleon's way of thinking (he controls therefore he can manipulate).

Galen: Comic
Shows what happened in the book without drawing it out a ton. Information is from the book (accurate) and relates to the animals lives and their mistakes. 

Even after seeing my classmates' awesome projects I still feel pretty good about the time I spent creating mine, and  the effort I put into it. It's really too bad that my project wouldn't work on my blog though, I still don't completly understand what I could have done to make it work. I feel that my electronically produced picture correctly reflected the aspects of Animal Farm, and why it just didn't turn out. It's really cool to see my classmates' reflections on the book and their ideas are all different and inspiring. You can get so many perspectives on the tiniest of things.
