Writing task 3
Do we change our identity when we wear different clothes, for example, when we are not wearing our school uniform?
1- Yes, for example, when we use uniform we have a better behavior and talk more formal because the uniform reminds us oppression and slavery in some way, so when we don't wear the uniform we finally talk like we were with friends and act like we were with them, we don't have that pressure over us.
Do we change our way of speaking?
2-Like I said before, we change the formal language to a more informal language, we feel like we're with friends or that we are with our family.
How do our clothes represent our identity?
3- Our clothes represents us everywhere, it makes us show with what kind of people we meet and what we like, for example, a person who likes to play video games will use a t shirt that has a picture of any kind of game, like Juan Andres Salfate, who wears a lot of anime and tv shows t shirts. If we ask somebody with a t shirt of game of thrones if he/she watches the show he/she will probably say yes, because ... who buys a shirt of something that they don't like!?

Animal Farm
1- I don't care, because It's a pacific revolution and they only tried to make things better to them selves.
2-Yes, everyone has complaints and if a hole bunch of animals want the same things It's all right if they don't mess with the human rights.
3-The rebellion took place in a farm somewhere when the animals started complaining about the things that they didn't want on the farm. In this story humans are portrayed as the bad guys, this is shown by the pigs who transformed through the whole story until they used human clothes, thing that was forbidden in the original rules of the farm.
4-Pigs won the rights to the cow's milk because they used the power of words and in that way the pigs started to seem superior in the farm.
5-In some way Snowball wanted to stay pacific and make a windmill but Napoleon, that portrays Hitler in my opinion, wanted to prepare for war, this is good but for the stability of the farm it was better to make a windmill... Poor Snowball.
6-Napoleon solidifies his position by expelling Snowball, by commanding the war against humans, and through charisma and propaganda control, trying to brainwash the other animals. From being a farm looking for liberty they finished like a fully controlled farm.
7-Because a conspiracy that animals were working and giving information to the traitor Snowball, this tells that the role of all the animals who are not pigs will suffer and not living happy.
8-I don't think that this should happen but this happens in everyplace, in my house my dad takes the desitions
9-Well, it can change you from pigs to humans, and makes them go for the money only.
10-You never know who is the more intelligent but the pigs had charisma and that was enough. For example Hitler, he used his speech abilities to win the country and then he killed everyone.

Dear Mr Smith,
The animal farm went through some big changes after Old Major's death because animals took the pig's speech that was just like the famous "I have a dream" speech, that Martin Luther King delivered in the 1970's, in a very serious tone.
"Remove man from scene" Old Mayor said and the other animals tried to make that happen.
Their first leader was Snowball, the democratic pig, that tried to make people work and in that way make them earn a part of the production, it was teamwork and that was a good method to make the animal community advance but there was another pig with different political thoughts, Napoleon, who was like an Adolf Hitler but in form of a pig, he used propaganda, he used technology to promote his political party and started destroying the rules set at the beginning of the story and started becoming more human, and what role do humans play in the story? The bad ones, so they were going trough the bad path, the darker side. With thus we can infer that George Orwell prefered democracy to totalitarism.
From another perspective, the story can make an allusion to the Russian history, having first Lenin who should be Old Mayor then Trotsky who would be the pig called Snowball and Napoleon should be Stalin that took actually the power by killing Trotsky, but in this case Napoleon just expelled the other pig of the farm.
Looking forward to seeing this letter in the newspaper,
Sincerely,
Ignacio "John" Ruiz
