What's an example of a creative poem about a work of literature like Animal Farm?

Word has gone round the farm during the dayThat Old Major dreamed of living a new way.He wants all animals to meet in the barn this night,And they are willing to hear what he has to say.


The majestic old pig has a wise appearance in his stance.The other animals enter and hear from him of their only chance:Freedom! They must revolt against Man, their enemy.Rebellion is the answer!...

Word has gone round the farm during the day
That Old Major dreamed of living a new way.
He wants all animals to meet in the barn this night,
And they are willing to hear what he has to say.


The majestic old pig has a wise appearance in his stance.
The other animals enter and hear from him of their only chance:
Freedom! They must revolt against Man, their enemy.
Rebellion is the answer! All animals are equal in every occurrence.


The song is sung, the rules are made for Animalism, a new system.
The next day, Jones and others enter the barn, and the animals attack them.
Defeat chases them all away, and the animals sing in triumph.
Now the name is "Animal Farm," and there are seven commandments for them.


Boxer and others work hard day after day; Snowball plans for a windmill,
Men try to reclaim the farm; Snowball,Boxer, and others defeat them still.
But Napoleon wants the power and drives away Snowball. He is cruel.
Squealer convinces the animals that things are not what they seem at all.


The lives of the animals become miserable, much as in the past--even more.
The pigs have changed the rules, and they walk on two legs as never before.
The name is returned to "Manor Farm," and man and pig are seen together.
Once the animals look in the house, and pig and man seem to differ no more.

What is the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a... Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm.

What are some external and internal conflicts that Montag has in Fahrenheit 451?

 Montag, the protagonist of Fahrenheit 451, faces both external and internal conflicts throughout the novel. Some examples of these conflicts are: External Conflicts: Conflict with the society: Montag lives in a society that prohibits books and critical thinking. He faces opposition from the government and the people who enforce this law. Montag struggles to come to terms with the fact that his society is based on censorship and control. Conflict with his wife: Montag's wife, Mildred, is completely absorbed in the shallow and meaningless entertainment provided by the government. Montag's growing dissatisfaction with his marriage adds to his external conflict. Conflict with the fire captain: Montag's superior, Captain Beatty, is the personification of the oppressive regime that Montag is fighting against. Montag's struggle against Beatty represents his external conflict with the government. Internal Conflicts: Conflict with his own beliefs: Montag, at the beginning of th...

In A People's History of the United States, why does Howard Zinn feel that Wilson made a flimsy argument for entering World War I?

"War is the health of the state," the radical writer Randolph Bourne said, in the midst of the First World War. Indeed, as the nations of Europe went to war in 1914, the governments flourished, patriotism bloomed, class struggle was stilled, and young men died in frightful numbers on the battlefields-often for a hundred yards of land, a line of trenches. -- Chapter 14, Page 350, A People's History of the United States Howard Zinn outlines his arguments for why World War I was fought in the opening paragraph of Chapter 14 (referenced above). The nationalism that was created by the Great War benefited the elite political and financial leadership of the various countries involved. Socialism, which was gaining momentum in Europe, as was class struggle, took a backseat to mobilizing for war. Zinn believes that World War I was fought for the gain of the industrial capitalists of Europe in a competition for capital and resources. He states that humanity itself was punished by t...
