According to Boxer, he didn’t even mean to kill the person and felt remorseful, however his mishap is recognized differently by the other animals on the farm. “Men were everywhere. They were in great numbers - there were about twenty I’d say - most of them had sticks, but Jones had a gun,” recollects a chicken involved in the battle. We are not certain of the exact number of humans, but all the animals say that Jones was well equipped with a gun. On the scene,

    In January the 17th of 1781 while Tarleton's men (Britain) attacked, Morgan (Colonies) instructed the militia to skirmish with Tarleton's men but to leave the front line open after firing a few rounds. The british mistook the repositioning of the Colonies as a rout and ran into an unexpected volley of aiming rifle fire with a cavalry charge and the militia showing up. The Tarleton escaped but Morgan's troops destroyed his army. In the end more than 800 of britain's troops were either captured or killed. The Americans suffered about 100 casualties in their first patriot victory to show they could outfight a similar british army without any other factors…

    The battle took place on Dong Ap Bia (Ap Bia Mountain, Vietnamese: Đồi A Bia) in the rugged, jungle-shrouded mountains of South Vietnam, 1.2 miles (1.9 km) from the Laotian border.

    The treatment of animals in animal farms is greatly disrupted because of major food industries and the financial costs. Cows are genetically and evolutionary modified to eat grass but the farm owner are forcing the cows to eat corn because it is cheaper and corn makes them fat more quickly. This is just one example of the many of the mistreatments of farm animals that was talked about in this documentary. Since cows are meant to eat grass and not corn this high corn diet results in E. coli formation. E. Coli formation is not only a product of the diet but also a product in farm animal lifestyle. The cows stand ankle deep in their manure for most parts of the day if not the entire day, meaning that if one cow was to develop the disease than the entire cow population on the farm will also acquire the disease. This disease is then carried form the farms to the slaughterhouses and form the slaughterhouses to our grocery stores. The documentary reports that this transfer in disease resulted in a death of a young boy from eating a burger at Jack in the Box.…

    Colonial militiamen had no uniforms and had to supply their own guns and ammunition, as well as food and other accessories. Many had learned to shoot while hunting for food or fighting Native Americans in the countryside. They were hardly prepared for the organized and almost polite method of warfare practiced by the British army, in which soldiers lined up on opposite sides of the battlefield and advanced toward the enemy, shooting. Though the militiamen’s rifles were accurate, they held only one shot and often lacked the bayonets (knives) attached…

On the ground next to many their heads laid severed, visages of terror forever printed upon them. Some had been ripped apart, their organs beside them, either dry and shriveled or still oozing blood. More still remained deep in the blaze, given no opportunity of escape. However so, the more unlucky of these men remained alive, groaning in agony with the last of their shallow…

    Imagine two gentlemen facing off in a Southern forest. Suddenly a shot crackles through the air, and a man falls dead to the ground. Later, the killer is not charged with murder or put before a judge or jury. Dueling is defined by Webster’s Dictionary as, “a fight between two people that includes the use of weapons (such as guns or swords) that usually happens while other people watch.” Some people consider dueling an art form, but most people now consider dueling a barbaric method of settling petty disputes.…

    In the book it reads that “Three days later it was announced that he had died in the hospital at Willingdon, in spite of receiving every attention a horse could have. Squealer came to announce the news to the others. He had, he said, been present during Boxer’s last hours...Some of the animals had noticed that the van which took Boxer away was marked ‘Horse Slaughterer,’ and had actually jumped to the conclusion that Boxer was being sent to the knacker’s” (Orwell 124/125). Squealer made up a story that Boxer was in a great care, but in reality, he was sent to be killed. He was sent to the glue factory/horse slaughterer! Squealer did not let the animals believe the truth. The media can cover up things that the government does not want out. They can even distract us with other not-so-important things. We must be careful of their reports to help ourselves.…

    The Boston Massacre

    We now look to Paul Revere’s famous engraving, which clearly depicts a row of soldiers standing and opening fire on what appears to be a crowd of helpless civilians and even a harmless dog. None of the civilians have any weapons in their hands, nor do they seem to be charging the soldiers or even attempting to fight back. While this is probably slightly exaggerated, there is no possible way that Paul Revere would have completely changed the actual events around just for a better engraving. He created this to represent the events as best as he could, which leaves us with a very legitimate source.…
