Animal Farm - book and movie comparison

There were many changes between the movie and the book of animal farm. For example in the book it ends when clover sees the pigs and the humans and couldn’t see the difference. But in the movie the animals, after seeing this run away and come back later to find Napoleon dead and gone. In the book the ending was more like the real thing, but in the movie they extend the ending to make it happy. Although I disagree with most of the changes the director makes I do like the fact that old major was shot, because it really shows how bad the humans truly were. Also because of some of the extra additions it made the humans more evil than in the book. So, although some changes were good, some of them were very unnecessary and therefore slightly annoying.

Rough Draft of VC project script

By the way this might not be the final production:

Script for Cuban Missile Crisis Project:

Varun – Studio News Anchor and Fidel Castro

Melissa – Studio News Anchor

Farah – Cuba News Anchor

Script:

Varun: Hello. This is Varun Batta and Melissa Smith reporting from CNN New Delhi.

Melissa: Today, we will be reporting on the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Varun: As you must know, there are nuclear missiles being built by the USSR in Cuba.

Melissa: Therefore there is a huge panic in the United States. The building of these missiles is seen as a way for the USSR to have access to firing in the western hemisphere.

Varun: That is right. The island of Cuba is currently right in the middle of two giant boulders, either could be the one to kill it.

Melissa: You see, the USSR is building nuclear missiles in Cuba to protect the latest addition to its empire, but the US is interpreting it as a major threat to it and its citizens.

Varun: But now lets here what Farah Weannara who is reporting from Cuba itself. Farah –

(change of scene)

Farah: Hello there. I am Farah Weannara reporting live from the site of the building of the nuclear missile silo in cuba.

I have with me here the current president of Cuba: Mr. Fidel Castro.

Mr. Castro, we are all wondering, why did you decide to publicly align yourself with the Soviet Union.

Varun (as Fidel): You see I felt that the Soviet Union was like me, we both felt that communism is the right way to rule our country, and because of this I felt that in stead of siding with some stupid democracy like the US, I should be siding with the smart communists of the Soviet Union.

Farah: Ah, we see. But then why are you letting the USSR build these nuclear missiles, which are controlled by the USSR but still in your land. Can’t you see that you are now creating major havoc in the US, which has a clear military advantage over you. Why then are you risking your country like this?

Varun: Well, as you might have heard the USSR is too, afraid of possible US threat and is therefore protecting us not using us. Also, addressing to your question about the danger to the Cuban citizens, you see in the case of such a vicious attack by the US, there will be a complete backup force coming from the Soviet Union to help us.

Farah: Well, thanks for your time Mr. Castro it was very helpful.

And now back to you Melissa

(change of scene)

Melissa (alone): Thank you Farah. We will now show you a small clip from the speech the president made 8 days ago: October 22^nd, 1962.

(Clip Plays)

Varun (with Melissa there): Thank you for playing that, Melissa. As you can see the US really is ready to take action and has even sent a naval blockade checking any ship that enters or exits Cuba.

Melissa: Yes. (fidgets with her ear looking like she is receiving some message) Oh and we just received news from Farah that President Kennedy after negotiating with Khrushchev have ended the war. The USSR will remove the nuclear missiles from Cuba as long as the US will not invade the Cuba. The deal has been done. The Crisis is over.

Varun (with Melissa gone to tell the good news): Well thank you for watching CNN New Delhi. Good Night.

Who would I be?

In this situation I would be Clover. I would go ahead with the general public when I can be seen but in truth I would doubt the truthfulness of what was really going on. I wouldn’t completely trust the pigs at all but I would look like I am a good follower. I would constantly check up on the rules like clover does and when I see a change I would not completely believe it. I would also mistrust Napoleon but look like I do. I would be one of those people who look good outside, but in the end I would not believe any of the lies they told me.

Is Military manditory?

In both Canada and India military service is not required and if they did then it could create some problems during world war. Because both India and Canada have been colonized by the French and the English and there arises the question of which countries army should I help. Luckily military service is voluntary and I think that is the way it should be. I feel that if you want to be part of the military then go ahead but if you don't want to risk your life, then you should not be forced to. The only possible reason I would want to join the military is if there is some extreme requirement by my country.

Decleration of Independence summary

When it becomes necessary for a People to break the bonds holding then tight to another People; then they, by the laws of nature, must present their reasons for breaking these bonds. We all know that all men were created as equals and are born with some undeniable rights including Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The government has been established to make sure that the people get these rights and when they do not, they have the right to create a new government that will give them their rights.

Recently the King of Britain has been treating the colonist unfairly including taking away all their rules. First he says to make sure that I can see the laws before they are declared, but if the laws ever make it that far then the king just ignores them. The people are there fore stripped of their rights. They do not feel that they should be forced to live the way they do, and they have warned many a time. But because of the ignorance and tyranny of the king we feel that we shall break away.

There fore we are now a united and independent country who has the full right to make its own laws and rules. We have pledged our selves to our country and will give it our lives, fortunes and our sacred Honor.
