The novel Animal Farm by George Orwell is an allegory for the Russian revolution that changed Russian from a monarchy to the totalitarian regime of the USSR controlled by the mad dictator Stalin. In English, our goal is to find the similarities between the novel and the historical events that that took place in the revolution as well as finding important quotes and ideas from the novel. In our first literary circle, our group did not work well and remain mostly off task, while the second discussion yielded on topic, creative answers as well as courteous and intellectual feedback. I, personally, was absent for the first discussion, but could not believe how many exclamations were made about how well the second one was going. "Our group is more focused." was the most common one, with other about how we are working together. With my personal knowledge and education about the Russian revolution I was able to provide more in-depth knowledge to the circle, discussing the Bolshevik civil war as well as Trotsky's unfortunate exile. I am looking forward to seeing how our next discussion turns out, if we are all present to discuss. The only improvements the could be mad already has been implemented, The jobs for our group is now online and shared, now we all have to come prepared.
