Finally, the ACE web by Ting Yit and I was published. The subject is on Literauture, Animal Farm. Haha, Ting Yit is so creative that he even think of giving a fake tour to Manor Farm which cost people $3000. Javan commented that it is very lame. Even though, you still may find it a bit funny.
This ACE web was planned at 2006 April. At first we forget about our ACE web as we haven't decided what to do yet. Occasionally, Ting Yit remembers and told me about it. Soon, the document file was created and I designed it to a web. There is a link at my HomePage @
http://www2.hwachong.edu.sg/~y06hci0435/. If you are too lazy to go to my HomePage and click the link, click
here. Still too lazy to click? Ok, I shall typeit in this post. (I warn you! Never Copy it!)
HomeWelcome all visitors to the website of Manor Farm, the most famous farm ever known in England! Well, its major speciality is that it is run all by animals! Interested? To learn more about Manor Farm, please click the links on the left. (In my blog, there is no links. Please continue...)
HistoryManor Farm was started around 15 years ago. Before the revolution period, it was run by Mr. Jones, the founder of the original Manor Farm. Animals worked under the cruel whip of humans, and there was no peace. There was long working hours, and all the animals got was the bare amount of food to keep them starving. It was hard then, but it was no different from any other farms.
Then one day, Mr. Jones’ prize boar and one of the biggest contributor to Manor Farm. Old Major, had a dream. This dream was no ordinary dream. It was so important to Manor Farm’s future that Old Major immediately called for a meeting with all the animals. So one night, when Mr. Jones was sleeping, the animals gathered. Old Major’s speech rocked the animals into high excitement. Below is a summarised copy of the speech:
Comrades, before I tell you my dream, I have a very important message to convey. I do not think, comrades, that I shall be with you for long, and I feel it is my duty to pass on the wisdom which I have acquired over my twelve years as a boar. And I understood, during these twelve years, that there is only one animal, amongst us, who is the cause of our suffering now. He is not among us right now. He feels that we must follow his evil desires, and not give a thought of the suffering he caused us! He, comrades, is man. Man is our only real enemy we have. Remove man from the scene, and the root cause for our present will be gone forever. Man is the only animal who does not give, yet is the animal who takes the most! In return to all your hard work, the reap is only suffering. Why? The soul answer, comrades, is man. I myself do not grumble, for I am luckier than all of you, and have lived the past twelve years to the fullest. But think, comrades! Think, little porkers sitting in front of me! Within one year, all of you will be under the blood-stained knife. Man - is evil! So I propose: Revolution! Eliminate man at all cost! Rebel against man! This, comrades, is my last piece of advice to you. I do not know when it will happen, but it must! For the sake of you and your descendents! Let me tell you the dream I had. I cannot describe that dream to you. It was the dream about Earth where there is no man. But it reminded me a tune that was sung a long time ago! (Refer to the links for the lyrics) (Again, there is no links. The lyrics is below)
Courtesy of leader napoleonThe revolution happened very soon; once, when Mr Jones forgot to feed the animals, they decided to barge into the farmhouse on the verge of starving. Of course, this woke Mr Jones up from his sleep, and when he and his workers tried to control the animals with their whips, the animals could not stand any longer and rebelled, and attacked them until they were forced out of the farm. The rebellion has succeeded at that moment. This, was the beginning of the special Manor Farm, ran by animals.
The animals elected the wise Napoleon and another Berkshire pig, Snowball, to lead the farm, and thus, the renowned seven commandments were formed (again, check the links for details.)Manor farm was changed to Animal farm during what they called, the revolution period. They encountered many obstacles, including defending the farm from Mr. Jones. He came a few weeks later, and with several men by his side, he marched to Animal Farm to claim it back. But due to the animal’s co-operated efforts, the humans are once again, kicked out of the farm, with only a sheep being the unfortunate casualty. This fight was indeed exciting, and it was called The battle of the Cowshed. For more information, please e-mail Leader Napoleon directly.
Another obstacle include building the windmill. This idea was at first leader Napoleon’s, but Snowball beaten him to it. Our wise Napoleon then smelt a rat, as he wondered: How could it be possible that they both had the same idea at the same time? After close investigations, it was found out that Snowball was a traitor! He was working for the humans right at the beginning! Snowball’s plan to propose the idea was to cheat them into neglecting the farm business, and starve them to death! Fortunately, leader Napoleon stopped his tyranny and chased him out of the farm with the help of his guard dogs.
Obstacles were overcame, and animal farm was once again, called Manor farm as the revolution period has passed, agreed and initiated by the pigs committee. The pigs committee has also come to a full agreement then that a peace treaty is to be signed with the humans.
Now, under the hard work of the pigs committee and leader napoleon, Manor farm prospered into what it is today, with 6 windmills in action, hydro-powered station and a hydroponics lab, it is continuing to prosper under comrade Napoleon.
Done By Comrade SquealerThe Seven Commandment
- Whatever goes upon two legs is a friend
- Whatever goes upon four legs is a fellow comrade
- No animals shall wear clothes unless it is a pig
- No animals shall sleep in a bed with sheets unless permission is given by Leader Napoleon
- No animals shall drink alcohol to excess
- No animal shall kill other animals without a cause
- Four legs good, two legs better
Please note that the commandments have now been abolished, although it still remains a legend.
- Present commandment:
- All animals are equal
- but some animals are more equal than others.
The Legendary SongThis song was passed down by a fellow old comrade, although it is yet to confirmed whether it exists or not.
Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken to my joyful tidings
Of the golden future time
Soon or late the day is coming,
Tyrant Man shall be o’erthrown,
And the fruitful fields of England
Shall be trod by beasts alone.
Rings shall vanish from our noses,
And the harness from our back,
Bits and spur shall rust forever,
Cruel whips shall no more crack
Riches more than the mind can picture,
Wheat and barley, oats and hay,
Clover, beans and mangel-wurzels
Shall be ours upon that day.
Bright will shine the fields of England,
Purer shall its water be,
Sweeter yet shall blow its breezes
On the day that set us free.
For that day we all must Labour,
Though we die before it break;
Cows and horses, geese and turkeys,
All must toil for freedom’s sake
Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken well and spread my tidings
Of the golden future time.
