1 2018 Summer Reading Pope John Paul II High School English 9 Honors As ferociously fresh as it was more than a half century ago, this remarkable allegory of a downtrodden society of overworked, mistreated animals and their quest to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality is one of the most scathing satires ever published. As readers witness the rise and bloody fall of the revolutionary animals, they begin to recognize the seeds of totalitarianism in the most idealistic organization and in the most charismatic leaders, the souls of the cruelest oppressors. (from Amazon) Signet Classics; 50 th Anniversary edition (1996) ISBN-10: Animal Farm by George Orwell Night by Elie Wiesel Night is Elie Wiesel's masterpiece, a candid, horrific, and deeply poignant autobiographical account of his survival as a teenager in the Nazi death camps. This new translation by Marion Wiesel, Elie's wife and frequent translator, presents this seminal memoir in the language and spirit truest to the author's original intent. And in a substantive new preface, Elie reflects on the enduring importance of Night and his lifelong, passionate dedication to ensuring that the world never forgets man's capacity for inhumanity to man. Night offers much more than a litany of the daily terrors, everyday perversions, and rampant sadism at Auschwitz and Buchenwald; it also eloquently addresses many of the philosophical as well as personal questions implicit in any serious consideration of what the Holocaust was, what it meant, and what its legacy is and will be. Hill and Wang; Revised edition (2006) ISBN-13: READING ASSIGNMENTS No sources, other than the sources listed on this assignment handout, may be consulted for this assignment. 1. Read each novel. As you read, pay attention to the reading focus explained in each reading assignment below. 2. Complete the attached charts. Follow the instructions in each reading assignment (below) to complete the attached theme charts. NO OUTSIDE SOURCES MAY BE CONSULTED, as mentioned in the assignment instructions. Questions? English 9 Summer Reading Contact: Mr. Crowley (mark.crowley@jp2hs.org) Animal Farm reading assignment Orwell s Allegory The novel Animal Farm is an allegory, or a story in which the characters and events are symbols that stand for ideas about human life or for a political or historical situation. The animals on the farm are meant to represent types of humans. The behavior of certain individual animals or species of animals is supposed to mirror the behavior of certain types of humans (or even specific historical figures) and how they act in similar circumstances in human history. Reading Animal Farm as an allegory, I want you to think about what Orwell intended certain characters or species of animals in the novel to represent to the reader. As you read, fill out the chart that has been provided. I have provided an example to get you started. This chart will provide you with the evidence you need for (1) our in-class discussion of Animal Farm and (2) your first writing assignment on the novel. Note: No sources other than the novel are allowed on this or any other writing assignment in my class. I have access to SparkNotes and other such resources too, and ANY plagiarism will result in a zero on the assignment and a violation of the JPII Honor Code.

2 2018 Summer Reading Pope John Paul II High School Issue #: [Date] Night reading assignment Wiesel s Themes Several key themes continue to show up at important moments in the novel Night. These major themes shape the reader s understanding of what Elie Wiesel is trying to accomplish in telling the story of his experiences during the Holocaust in this way. Below, I have identified six key theme topics that I want you to be on the lookout for while you read the novel. There are numerous examples of each theme in the novel; identify the THREE most powerful and/or interesting examples of each theme you encounter in the book and complete the attached chart. The completed chart will provide you with the evidence you need for both our in-class discussion of Night and for your first writing assignment on the novel. Theme #1 - Humans Inhumanity/Cruelty Towards Other Humans Both governments and individuals act cruelly towards individuals and groups of people throughout the story. Theme #2 Different Reactions to Injustice and Cruelty Willful ignorance choosing to ignore or disbelieve what one finds painful or unpleasant Silence vs. resistance submissive acceptance of oppression vs. speaking out and fighting for one s rights The victims of this cruelty often do not comfort and support each other in their suffering, but they turn on one another. Cruelty only begets more cruelty. Theme #4 Family Bonds (especially fatherson bonds) Under Pressure The victims in the novel see their families torn apart by the Nazis. These familial relationships sometimes lift up the victims during the story, giving them strength to persevere through great suffering. The Jews in the story sometimes disregard their previous values about family at times of especially great suffering. Theme #5 Questioning one s Faith/Loss of Faith Under Extreme Circumstances It is hard for someone to maintain their faith in an all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-loving God when there is so much darkness and evil in the world that could seemingly be prevented by such a God. Theme #3 Loss of Humanity/Identity Under Extreme Circumstances The victims in the story often lose their sense of themselves as unique individuals during the course of their suffering. The victims also turn towards animal instincts in moments of extreme desperation or suffering, when self-preservation is all they are thinking about. Theme #6 Silence & Darkness/Night These two images are used both literally and metaphorically at critical moments throughout the novel. The first act of God in the Bible is to create light and dispel the darkness. Darkness symbolizes a world without God, and this image occurs when human suffering is at its worst in the novel. The world of the concentration camp is dark and quiet, the survivors have a hard time speaking up for themselves throughout the story, and the outside world is blind to the suffering of the victims and the injustice of the oppressors.

5 Honors English 9 Summer Reading assignment on Animal Farm: The novel Animal Farm is a character-driven novel. The personalities of and relationships between major characters in the novel is crucial to understanding any of the larger themes of the novel. Orwell wrote the novel as an allegory, or a story in which the characters and events represent larger ideas about human life. The behavior of individual animals or species of animals in the novel is supposed to mirror the behavior of certain common character types in human societies and how they act in similar circumstances throughout human history. In order to have a discussion about creating a character-based allegory, we need to start with a close analysis of how an author creates a vivid character throughout his or her work. Characterization the various ways by which an author demonstrates and develops a character s personality Direct Characterization Actions What a character does, how they do it Words What a character says Indirect Characterization Words What other characters say about that character Wording How that character speaks Appearance/Background narrative description of the character Reactions How other characters react to that character, how they act differently when that character is/isn t around - As you read Animal Farm, I want you to think about how Orwell develops the personalities of certain characters or species of animals in the novel to represent to the reader. As you read, fill out the chart I have provided. This chart will provide you with the evidence you need for (1) our in-class discussion of Animal Farm and (2) your first writing assignment on the novel. - I only want data here. Save your interpretation/analysis/opinion for later. Every detail you include does not need to be a quotation. You can paraphrase and shorten what Orwell says, but you need to cite the page number of where you saw each important piece of information.! - Feel free to type or write or type your answers on a separate sheet of paper as long as it is clearly labeled and organized. I do not need a full paragraph for each answer; I kept the boxes small on purpose. - No sources other than the novel are allowed on this or any other writing assignment in my class. I have access to SparkNotes and other such resources too, and ANY plagiarism will result in a zero on the assignment and a violation of the JPII Honor Code.
