To begin with I believe I most closely identify with Snowball the pig because I like to take control of situations and voice my opinion. I also like to go by the rules as well as creating the rules as Snowball played a major role in creating the seven commandments seen on page 17. I am also motivated and like to prove to people I can complete a challenge " Now, comrades" cried Snowball " "to the hay field! Lets make it a point of honor to get in the harvest more quickly than Jones and his men could do" seen on page 18. I also am a problem solver like Snowball seen on page 18 when he problem solves along with the other pigs how to milk the cow. In conclusion I feel I most closely relate to snowball because of his leadership, motivation and problem solving skills.Sunday, February 1, 2009

Jemima,
Your post has a lot of supporting evidence that showed how closely you relate to Snowball. I highly agree on that. You like to lead, and show people that you are motivated to do so. Are there any other powerful statements in the book that you could use? For what other reasons do you think you closely relate to Snowball? Otherwise i think your response, and choice of animal is really good, and it definitely resembles you.
Jemima, I think that you chose a really good animal to represent your character. One thing that you could have improved on is going into more depth with how those characteristics apply to you in daily life. Otherwise, you put out your opinion well by having supporting evidence. I personally think that you also reflect Snowball because you do like to take the lead and you make everything a benefit for everyone. I really liked that you had the quote from the book that showed that he made solutions and then you reflected that upon yourself. You used many transition words which worked and made everything flow. I find that when you started with a beginning sentence and ended with a conclusion, made it really powerful. Good job on this post :).
