    make a puzzle with each puzzle piece representative of a symbol/image/theme from the book and then present by showing how the piece fit together like the symbols/images/themes come together in the book

    if you need me to, I can probably dig up the .psd file for the puzzle I made for les mis

    A match-up between each pig and the respective Russian revolutionary figure to show the symbolism and junk.

    My memory of that book is bleak, so I'm probably not the best helper.. but that's what I'd do.

    Just anything to highlight the symbolism between what happened in the book, and what happened in RL. Or to show how 'Animalism' is a direct satire of 'Stalinism' or something.

    Animal Farm is a dystopian novel by George Orwell.

    No problem :)


    Just remember when you have the relationship between the pigs and the people to mention the significance of each, and how that is displayed in the book.. otherwise it's pointless showing the relationship (well, not pointless 'cause you show understanding.. but y'know what I mean ;D)

    You might want to mention something that's always been quite fascinating about the life of the book Animal Farm; the story touches several times on the subject of heavy censorship within Russia. However, when the book was first published, it was heavily censored and removed from shelves itself, even in Great Britain. It was also declined for publishing in the United States. Just an interesting little fact.
