A French novelist and political activist named Jean Genet once stated:
"If we behave like those on the other side, then we ARE the other side. Instead of changing the world, all we'll achieve is a reflection of the one we want to destroy."
—from The Balcony
Your task:
1.) What does this quote mean to you?
Thus quote means that when we use violence then we are just like the people who used the violence first when we do not want anymore violence in the world.
2.) Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?
I agree with this quote because we should not be like other people who we do not want to be like.
3.) How do you think this applies to what we have read in Animal Farm? (hint: Think about the commandants, who is the enemy? Who are the pigs starting to act like?)
The enemy was the humans but then the enemy became the animals who Napoleon thought was on snowballs' side. The pigs are starting to act like the people they disliked at first.A French novelist and political activist named Jean Genet once stated:
