How can I make a propaganda poster based on Animal Farm?

I think your poster should demonstrate Benjamin's character--he was wise, he knew what was going on, but he said nothing, even though he knew life on the farm would be difficult once Napoleon took over.  Are you familiar with internet memes?  I think your poster could be like a meme just with Benjamin on it.  Benjamin's favorite line in the story is that donkeys live a long time, so your poster should say something to...

I think your poster should demonstrate Benjamin's character--he was wise, he knew what was going on, but he said nothing, even though he knew life on the farm would be difficult once Napoleon took over.  Are you familiar with internet memes?  I think your poster could be like a meme just with Benjamin on it.  Benjamin's favorite line in the story is that donkeys live a long time, so your poster should say something to the consistency of Benjamin's character.  No matter what happens in the story, Benjamin never changes, and the only reason he ever gets emotional is when Boxer is hauled away to the slaughterhouse.  I'll leave ethos up to you, as I personally see Benjamin as part of the problem for not taking a more active role in the revolution--you may see him differently though.  I'd just make sure the poster spoke to Benjamin's consistency.

In chapter one of The Great Gatsby, what advice does Nick's father give him? How does this make him a good person to tell this story?

Nick says that his father advised him that, before "criticizing anyone," he "remember that all the people in this world haven't had the same advantages" as Nick.  As a result, Nick claims that he is "inclined to reserve all judgments," presenting himself to the reader as a fair and dispassionate arbiter of character, and thus, a reliable narrator.   The problem is that Nick immediately reveals himself as anything but reliable, as he then launches...

Explain and discuss how the definitions of freedom change for the nation, for the freedmen and for southern whites after the Civil War.

After the Civil War, the definition of freedom changed in the nation, as slavery was ended with the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865. The practice of slavery was disallowed, but definition of the freedom that would take its place was a subject of controversy, ongoing debate, and even violence in the decades to come.  For freedmen, freedom often meant reconciling with their families, who were broken up by slavery; choosing which church to...
