Project About the Shortstory "The Storyteller" by Hecto- Hugh Monru

One night, all the animals of Mr. Jones’ farm, gather together in the barn to listen to Old Major, the pig, tell them about a dream he had, in which no animal had to live under the reign of human owners which would happen after a large rebellion against the people that treated them as slaves. After his death, which occurred only three nights after that meeting, the rest of the animals spent months working on plans to make the rebellion that Old Major had spoken of, into a reality. In the beginning the pigs, particularly Snowball and Napoleon, which had naturally become the leaders, faced difficulties convincing the other animals that this was the right thing to do.

The first clue towards the development of the pigs’ character was the example with the apples and milk. The pigs had taken the apples and milk, claiming that “it is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples,” and that “(this has been proved by Science, comrades) these contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig.” However, they had deceived the animals, fooling them with the illusion that they were doing this for them, whereas, they were just consuming

Another example of this is when the narrator says, "They had nothing to go on except Squealer's lists and figures." by manipulating the numbers, the pigs are able to convince the animals that their lives are better with Napoleon as their leader. Because of their ignorance, the animals do not realize their lives are indeed worse. Furthermore, the lists and figures are appealing to the society since they reflect what the animals want. This will prevent the animals from rebelling. In conclusion, the animals will not be able to realize the pigs are corrupted due to their lack of education. Second, the pigs are constantly portrayed as heroes due to them telling lies. One example is when Boxer gets sick, and the narrator says, "Benjamin pushed her [Muriel} aside... he read Alfred Simmons, horse slaughterer." The animals are not able to tell that Boxer is going to the slaughterhouse, due to their inability to read. Furthermore, by telling the animals that Boxer is going to the doctor to get better, the pigs are becoming more powerful and credible. This will allow them to take control of the society, create a dictatorship, and tell more lies in the

Throughout the story, you see the way that the pig, Squealer, gives information to the “lowly” animals. He tells them what the leading pig, Napoleon, wants them to know, but he tells it in a way that it seems they are benefitting. Squealer had a way of persuading the other animals to listen to him, through his actions and manipulation. “The best known among them was a small, fat pig named Squealer, with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements and a shrill voice. He was a brilliant talker, and when he was arguing some difficult point he had a way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail, which was somehow very persuasive. The others said of Squealer that he could turn black to white.”

The ending of The Storyteller is contrasts the rest of the story in quite a few ways. It has quite a deflated tone as it ends with tension between the aunt and the bachelor. The bachelor makes a prideful comment on his ability to entertain the kids better than the aunt. He also makes observations about the aunt's character and amuses himself in the knowledge that he’s changed the children and their new expectations for stories they may be told in the future.

It is the year 2006 and a little girl sits on the living room floor listening to her mom read Cinderella to her. She is clad in a sparkling blue “ball gown” replicated after Cinderella’s. She eagerly listens as the beautiful glass slipper slips perfectly onto Cinderella’s foot. The little girl 's heart is warmed when Cinderella and the Prince live happily every after, and she too daydreams about the day that she will meet her prince and live happily ever after. That little girl was me. I always looked up to how Cinderella worked so very hard, and the hard work and kind heart were rewarded with a happily ever after. If I had known about The Poor Turkey Girl story as a kid, I would never want to read it because even though the poor girl worked very hard and had a kind heart, she was rewarded with nothing and instead punished by being forced to be lonely the rest of her life. This is just one of many reasons why the Cinderella story has better qualities than the Poor Turkey Girl Story. Although the main setting of The Poor Turkey Girl is drastically different from the Cinderella setting, the two protagonists both overcome many difficulties with help from very different characters, but even so only Cinderella results in a heartwarming ending.

The author then starts telling herself a bedtime story. She begins telling the story like a fairy tale. In all fairy tales there is a moral. This creates suspense.

I have always loved stories. I love to read them, write them, and tell them. The telling part, though, quickly became a problem for me as a little kid because I ended up labeled a “compulsive liar.” But in my 5-year-old mind, I wasn’t lying, I was telling the more interesting version of what had happened. When I was six I wrote my first “book”. It was ten chapters and ten pages long and told the story a king who lost his jewels and hired a pair of ninja-detectives to recover them. When I was eight I wrote a memoir – although I didn’t know what a “memoir” was at the time – about a recent trip to Tuscan, Arizona. However, it wasn’t until the fifth grade that I really started writing short stories. The first one I wrote was about a town in Australia ruled by an

Now think about it if he succeeds on eating all the pigs he would wipe out the whole population. It would mess up the whole food chain. It would basically it would mess everything up. That is my final reason for why the wolf is evil.

Each story has a special Little Red traveling through her journey in life; the woods, which is faced with challenges throughout the journey; a wolf that wants to take advantage of her, distractions that get in her way to do what is right; the wrong path in the woods, but each end differently. Perrault’s Little Red learns the hard way and dies, while Carter’s Little Red ends up becoming the wolf that takes advantage of men, and Broumas’ Little Red ends up alone. The importance the authors manipulating the endings of the stories bring out why the retelling was told, to tell a message to the audience. While the time is changing it is important to change the lesson to be learned, to add on the new values of the world, it is well known not to trust strangers which Perrault teaches us but while Carter was writing The Company of Wolves it was not well known that women deserve just as much as women and the only way to reserve it is to fight for it, but if you are not willing to take the risk and meet strangers and be brave enough to stand up for yourself you will end up sad and alone like Little Red in Broumas’ poem. The retellings demonstrate the values the time had; how women's right were growing in importance in the real

Throughout the book of Animal Farm the theme of leadership and corruption is continuous. The animal’s who have the biggest part in both of these major themes are the pigs. Napoleon, for example, takes over as the leader in the beginning of the book and later his leadership methods turn corruptive.

The pigs create cogent reasons that made sense to the animals, so they trust and believe the pigs.

that the pigs have great power but used it to lead the farm to corruption. In addition, the leadership of the pigs put the other animals in extremely dangerous situations. In the novel, Orwell` demonstrates that with knowledge and education comes great power, and this can fall into the hands of those who are self-serving. The author displays this issue through the selfish leadership of Napoleon along with the other pigs, the unfair ending of Boxer life, and the uneducated animals.

Then the physician offers to his tale of the tragic woe of a father and daughter the story that upsets the host so much that he requests a merry tale from the pardoner. The pardoner tells a tale to the proves that, even though he is not a moral man, he can tell a moral tale. At the end of the tale, the Pardoner invites the pilgrims to buy

The moral aspect of this story is that of the shepherd woman who selflessly took up the fate of another individual as her personal responsibility. She realized that she had to help this stranger because she had the ability to do so. The woman refused to leave a stranger (Jai) until his journey was secured and then she refused Jai’s offer of payment for her kindness and generosity. This deed was done based on her obvious personal ethical values which proved to be moral.
