Reflection on the presidential election

What I felt about this election is shocked because in the past election the electoral votes for one candidate wasn't so high. Another reason I was shocked is because I never seen so many republicans vote for a democratic party, 29% of the republicns voted for Barrack Obama then John McCain. I knew it was possible for a African American man to be elected for president but I never knew it would be so soon. I thought John McCain was going to win at first because so many people thought he had more experience over Barrack, butit went the other way around and Obama won. Barrack Obama won all the people vote from ages 18-24 voted for Barrack Obama. I hope that Barrack Obama will make the economy run smoothly again.

second annnotation

National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, LONDON http://www.nmm.ac.uk/drake. This annotation is a primary source because it gives a lot if informational source and information and it tells about his adventure, voyage, and war with the Spaniards. I like this source because it tells readers why he is remembered and his fight after his adventures. This source gives documents from letters and documentations from his past. It gives plenty of information about his early life his first voyage to his last voyage. This website shows where his family comes from and if they were rich or poor.

critical essay #1

Although in animal farm it seems to be a story about animals, actually it is a story about the Russian revolution. The book was written by a man named George Orwell. It was written in the year of 1945 and was written in England . It was attended to criticize Stalin and the Russian people. In animal farm, the way characters respond to stories has a strong connection to there ability to survive. Squealer is the person who twists mostly every story told. A personality of Squealers is graceful because of his lies. A example is he is living happy on the farm with Napoleon. Another example is he is eating good on the farm. Another personality of Squealer is he is a very persuasive talker. A example is the seven commandment, he persuaded the other animals the commandments never changed. Another example is he made most of the animals believe that Napoleon is always right. His final personality is he gives out misleading information to the other animals. A example is he told the animal that, "Apple and milk are good for them." Another example is he told all the animals that Snowball was a criminal. Through all his lies he turned out to be powerful, rich and fat. Another important character in the story was Boxer and he is a believer of almost every story. A personality of him is the was stupid. A example of this is in the story it said the Boxer couldn't read past the letter D of the alphabet. Another example is in the story on page 70 Boxer said, " If comrade Napoleon say it, it must be right." Another personality of him is he works hard on the farm. A example is he was working mostly from sun up to sun down. Another example is he volunteered every morning doing farm work. His final personality is he was stubborn. A example is he didn't listen to Clover, in the story it said," Clover warned him sometimes to be careful not to over strain himself, but Boxer would never listen to her." Another example is he didn't budge when the dogs plunged at him, Boxer caught them and pinned them to the ground about to kill them but Napoleon told them to let them loss. At the end Boxer got slaughtered because he always though that Napoleon was right. Another important character is Benjamin who was very suspicious of stories. A personality of him is he is foolish. A example of this he said, "God gave him a tail to keep flies off." Another example is he never laughed at any thing. Another personality is he was very smart. A example is he didn't side with any of the factions. Another example is he knew all the letters of the alphabet and he could read. Another characteristic was he was imprudent. A example is he could read but refused to read because in the story he said, "There was nothing worth reading." Another example is he knew that Boxer was going to the slaughter house but failed to tell the other animals where he was going. At the end Benjamin is living but struggling to find food. In animal farm characters way of dealing with stories changes their outcome at the end of the story. The main focus of these paragraphs is to see how different characters react to different stories that is used to manipulate others in the book. This book shows in the real world that society can over run you if you don't speak up and defend yourself.
