In your personal space below, do the following:

=1. Paste in your paragraph in which you explain your music selection. (Very important--compose your paragraph in Word and then paste in!) Be sure to touch on the following:=
 * Which character did you study? (If you had more than one, focus on the one you found music to match.)
 * What music did you choose (title, artist, style)?
 * Why you choose this music? //(What is it about this music that fits your character?// //What trait of your character is embodied in the music?)//
 * If you were a movie director making a new movie version of __Animal Farm__, in what exact scene would you use this music? Include the __page__ number.

=2. Attach a link to the music itself. (There are a number of ways to do this. Embedding a video is easy. Who can discover how to embed audio only?)= Example:

Blair "Mollie refused to learn any but the six letter which spelt her own name. she would form these very neatly out of pieces of twig, and would then decorate them with a flower or two and walk round them admiring them." i chose this quote and songs, because they explained mollies personality and how she acted. It also shows you how full of her self she is.The quote also tells you how she loves herself and how she admires what she does. []its all about me [] fabulous

Justin media type="youtube" key="aJmr5CKY73M" height="315" width="420" "When the boulder began to slip and the animals cried out in despair at finding themselves dragged down the hill, it was always Boxer who stained himself against the rope and brought the bolder to a stop." p. 57 I chose this because it's a pump up song and it's when he working. I studied Boxer, he is very strong and the most loyal worker. I chose gonna fly now.

Nick I studied Napoleon. I chose royalty music because Napoleon is like royalty. The music would play whenever Napoleon appears (such as page ) http://youtu.be/4iHH-R4xDzw

Zach I chose this song because the cat is very sneaky. He sometimes is nowhere to be found. Though when he comes up it is out of nowhere.media type="youtube" key="Ii1tc493bZM" height="315" width="560"

Matt D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLTYMN8iD00 I chose this song for snowball for when he was at the battle of cowshed and he wouldn't let the animals lose and kept fighting. Maya media type="youtube" key="HCD4Ubx_4Mg" width="425" height="350"i chose this song for snowball because I think that what is says in the song relates to what happened to snowball. I also thought that this song makes sense in that maybe this is what Snowball was kind of thinking about after Napoleon chased him out. Other than the song being a love song, i think that it brings up a lot of points that make sense for Snowball. It says in the song that "This one last bullet you mention, is my last shot at redemption," and I think this makes sense for Snowball because he took a bullet to the back for Animal Farm, and maybe he was thinking that taking that bullet might be part of redemption to the animals thinking he betrayed him. The song also talks about how the whole world shares the same fate. I think that this relates to Snowball because it is saying that everyone is going to die, and that all of the animals are sharing the same fate.

I picked this to start it because everything is getting better on the farm when the dogs are born, and they go missing for the ‘where are you’ part symbolizes that. I picked this as the second part because it talks about the dogs. They were brought up only to attack and follow their orders or in the song their instincts. It resonates also with my poem about the dogs. How they are misunderstood, and how they don’t know any better.

Jayna I studied Benjamin and Muriel, but I found this song for Benjamin because I think I understand him better than Muriel. I chose the song giving up by Donny Hathaway. It is a slow and sad song about giving up on love. I chose this music (not necessarily the words) because it fit Benjamin’s personality. A slow song, because as being an old donkey, you’d imagine that he’d be a bit slower. The trait that embodied Benjamin with this song, is the fact that he is a realist so he knows what reasonable and what’s probabally going to happen. If I was a movie director, I’d put it in the scene when Boxer’s being taken away from the farm in that van. It would be Benjamin singing giving up and telling boxer that it’s not worth the fight anymore, and he should give up. media type="youtube" key="s9cRvg1jaBk" height="315" width="420"

Alex media type="youtube" key="YjvY2lG8ffE" height="315" width="420" When boxer dies clover is really sad so this is the song i chose for this scene. The song is: Somewhere only we know. My charector is Clover in this sequence. Clover is really sad because of the death of her best "friend" Boxer and it kind of shows her feelings. I'd use it in the scene when boxer is said dead and i would make Clover have a part in that scene where she is sitting by his grave talking to him and this song playing. The page would be about pg 125

My character was Mollie. Mollie represents unfaithful communists who are self serving. I picked this song because Mollie is vain. She is very full of herself and thinks she is perfect and pretty. I chose the song: //You’re so vain// by //Carly Simon.// I chose it because it talked about someone being vain and looking in the mirror and being perfect. Most of the song fits Mollie’s character, but some parts are irrelevant to her. I would probably add this music to the scene where Mollie is confronted by clover to when she is found in town with the humans. I might also add a little when she writes her name and decorates it. The only five letters she learned were the ones in her name, and I think that is a good example of being vain.

Hard Knock Life Jay-z

I choose this because that was how Napolean was treating the animals. The lyrics say we get tricked, and I think that really relates to what Napolean does in the book because he tricks the other animals. I would use this when Napolean gets elected and starts making changes and is giving the animals less rations of food.

**I studied Old Major and Squealer. As I was looking for songs, I stumbled across Bob Dylan’s "Blowin’ in the Wind". Poetic as always, Dylan wonders what it will take for people to wake up and realize the problems they are facing. Similarly, during Old Major’s speech he says, “there comrades, is the answer to all our problems. . . Man” (p.7) and goes on to explain how there have been troubles with Jones that the animals haven’t even recognized. As Dylan would say the answer is “blowin’ in the wind". If I were directing a movie based on __Animal Farm,__  I would have the music playing during the burial of Old Major (p.15). **

**“Yes, how many deaths will it take til he knows that too many people have died?” ** **-"Blowin’ in the Wind" ** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e7TgmzmW2o

I studied Old Major and Squealer. Though I studied both characters I chose "Somewhere over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwio'ole as a symbolization of Old Major's speech in the first chapter. After some time I realized the best answer to a song that fits my character was laying right before my eyes, " Somewhere over the Rainbow." Somewhere over the Rainbow was one of the most well known Hawaiian songs in the 1990's. In Old Major's speech he was talking about the better times to come and why one should not give up. In Somewhere over the Rainbow Israel is explaining almost the same message, "Your dreams will come true you just need to believe they will come true." If I were a movie director and we were casting and filming __Animal Farm__ I would have this playing softly in the background while Old Major is telling the animals about his dream and ambitions. This would be located between page 27 and 28. (In the old version.) = Add to = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FBKa-bCasY

Alicia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYGVgi6n27Y I studied Bejamin and I chose a song called Bye Bye by Mariah Carey. I chose this song because it seemed to kind of incorporate Benjamin's feelings after Boxer died. It talked about how they miss the person so much and how there would be a lot to say if they were still alive. It also talks about how the person is gone forever and in a better place, and according to the animals on the farm, Boxer would be in a great place, Sugarcandy Mountain. Lastly, strangely the song talks about the Sunday mornings when Boxer and Benjamin used to spend every Sunday together. The exact scene they would use this music in would be on page 128 when they are describing Benjamin later and talking about how he was different since Boxer's death.

I studied the dogs and chose a song called my dog ben and I. I chose this song because this is how the dogs were at first and how I thought they were going to turn out. Actually it was the complete opposite because Napoleon brainwashed them, but i had no idea. So, to wrap it up, this is the song that would have been of the dogs if Napoleon let their mothers raise them.
