Animal Farm

Animal Farm:
Revision of the Past
Poem

No animal shall sleep in a bed.
Old Major is dead.
Napoleon takes over.
Pigs sleep in beds.

No animal shall drink alcohol.
Napoleon takes over.
The pigs are not sober
Pigs drink alcohol.

No animal shall kill any other animal.
Confess! Confess!
Animals will confess.
Napoleon takes over.
Animals are killed.

All animals are equal.
Pigs on the farm; think they are best.
They are treated best.
They sleep in beds.
They drink alcohol.
They control the killing of animals.
Pigs are like dictators
Napoleon takes over.
Napoleon takes over.

Poetry Out Loud Performances

In Joshua Kelly's performance of "Dulce et Decorum Est" by Wilfred Owen, he showed a well understading of the poem. This is a difficult poem. He articulated it well. His performance stood out the most to me becasue his voice inflection was well done. His dramatization was not over the top, but it fit the poem.

"Dulce et Decorum Est" is a poem about the horror of war. Joshua Kelly conveys this well in his performance as he uses voice inflection and dramatization in the right places. As I listened to his performance I could feel the fear and nightmarish reality surrounding a gunner’s last living moments. His performance was excellent.
