Instruction: Presentation and Notes on Allegory. Earlier this week, we read and annotated an excerpt from The Communist Manifesto. You wrote about the similarities that you found between Old Major's speech in Chapter 1 and the excerpt.
One of the reasons that you were able to write about those similarities is because Animal Farm is an ALLEGORY. |
