...The feminism movement in this present day has also managed to sweep LGBTQ community, especially transgender women under the rug. Trans women have always been marginalized if not totally excluded from the feminist movement. These exclusions are extremely glaring in the Trump administration, as trans women who have an extensive collective and individual history of battling for their rights. Women and the LGBTQ community do not have equal rights in America. Both communities are involved in changing this reality, but they are not working together towards this common goal. In a piece done by Mollie Lam, Why LGBT Rights Matter for Gender Equity, she discusses that "There were troubling moments in the history of women’s movements when some feminist leaders hesitated to support LGBT rights or rejected women who were transgender. But we have come a long way, and those days must remain in the past....

...Some may say she was overcome by her own folly or maybe she knew what the cruel future held. Mollie, the foolish horse from Animal Farm by George Orwell, is an independent character who will do anything to get something she wants. She can be described as both a leader and a follower. Unfortunately, she is only leading herself because no one else chose to follow her. Mollie exhibits leadership and followership as she is spoiled by Mr. Jones, skips out on work and leaves the farm so she can be pampered. Mollie portrayed followership when she worked for Mr. Jones to get sugar and ribbons. Mollie’s first owner, Mr. Jones, most definitely favored her to the other animals. Furthermore, while the other animals were stuck on the farm, Mollie “drew...

...In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, Mollie becomes increasingly lazy each day of the rebellion. She is the most lazy animal in Animal Farm because she stares at herself in the drinking pool instead of getting work done. Also, unlike the other animals, she becomes late for work everyday, and she fakes an illness or complains about a rock in her hoof to get out of working for that particular day. First, let’s discuss why Mollie stares at herself in the drinking pool. Mollie is lazy because she stares at herself in the drinking pool rather than getting work done. Instead of getting work done, makes herself unavailable so she can stare at herself in the drinking pool. She could also be helping other animals with their daily chores instead of doing...

...One website said that the origin of Mollie was Irish (“Names”). Another website said that it had a Latin origin (“Think Baby Names”). The name Mollie derives from the biblical name Mary (Dunkling). There are different meanings behind the name Mollie, but one website stated that Mollie means “star of the sea” (“Think Baby Names”). Mollie has decreased in popularity since the 1990s (“Oh Baby! Names”). The name Mollie is most popular in the state Kentucky (“Mooseroots”). I believe spelling Mollie with an ‘ie’ gives it a more unique feel. I came across a few famous people who spell Mollie the same as me like the chef and culinarian author, Mollie Katzen; and the Russian-American anarchist and activist, Mollie Steimer (“Oh Baby! Names”). After gathering this information, I started to research about my middle...

...like a thirteen-year old cheerleader when her team is scoring points. “Get up! It’s almost time to leave!” I say. The day has finally come for us to go to Oak Island, NC and aid in the hatching of baby sea turtles. “Alright, give me ten minutes” Mollie replies. I run quickly down the stairs, bursting open the refrigerator. “Hmm…what should we eat?” Anxiously scanning the refrigerator and freezer, my eyes stop at Pillsbury toaster strudels. Not just any toaster strudels, but with strawberry and blueberry flavoring. “Sounds good to me!”, so I pop a few in the toaster to let them cook. After a minute and a half, I hear “Ping!” and the food is ready. I yell at Mollie to come downstairs and eat before we head out. Mollie, like a snail, slowly maneuvers her way down the stairs. “Good morning sunshine!” I yell, she smirks at me and sits down. We both decide to get one of each flavor of toaster strudels. They are so yummy! Delicious and sweet, berry-flavor explosions. “So what’s the schedule for today?” asks Mollie. Ecstatic and filling with joy, I reply “When we first arrive, we will check into the motel, then we will meet at the Town Hall with the other group members at 1:00 pm, and finally to the beach for the hatching!” Mollie, finally waking up, says “This is such an exciting experience, and on your birthday! This is the best present you could have got yourself!” I smile really big, and respond “I...

...had visions of a great American society and one way he that tried to achieve this dream was a “war on poverty”. In order to achieve this “Great Society”, Lyndon Johnson recruited an economist named Mollie Oshansky. She had already calculated the poverty line, the base minimum income to “not be poor” (Kimmel and Aronson 198). Mollie Oshansky worked for the Social Security Administration and had already been working on projects that measured poverty according to the article “Mollie Orshansky: Author of the Poverty Thresholds” written by Gordon M. Fisher (15). Mollie Orshansky determined that poverty meant “insufficient income to provide the food, shelter, and clothing needed to preserve health” (Kimmel and Aronson 198). Orshansky determined that the minimal necessity of shelter and cloths was hard to measure, but that food was not. Therefore, she used a cost of providing food for a family as the sole factor to determine the numeric value necessary to preserve health. The Department of Agriculture had provided several different meal plan guidelines that met the least nutritional requirements. According to “Poverty Line Problems: The History of an Outdated Measurement” written by Matthew Green the department of agriculture these guidelines were called “The Economy Plan”. In order for Mollie to create the measurement, she used the meal plan that was the cheapest food cost as one third of the minimum income needed to provide for a family. This value then created the measurement she used...

...Mollie, the white mare, represents the Russian bourgeoisie. For both Mollie and the Bourgeoisie, life was easier, and better, before the revolution. “The stupidest questions of all were asked by Mollie, the white mare. The very first question she asked Snowball was: “Will there still be sugar after the Rebellion?” (Pg. ) This example paints a clear picture of Mollie’s quality of life before the revolution, she couldn’t understand why the animals would revolt, because, in her eyes, there was nothing to revolt over. The Bourgeoisie were also confused by the revolution, especially when they realized it meant sharing all their wealth and being brought down to the same level as the rest of the country. “She was late for work every morning and excused herself by saying that she had overslept, and she complained of mysterious pains, although her appetite was excellent.” (Pg. ) As seen in Animal Farm, Mollie had to work after the revolution, something she didn’t enjoy or have to do prior to it. The same thing happened to the Bourgeoisie after the revolution. They had to work more than they ever had before, and they still had to give up their money. This clearly shows that life was easier for both groups before the revolution. Another similarity between Mollie and the Bourgeoisie was how both “ran away” from their nations. “One of Mr. Pilkington’s men was standing on the other...

...used to people walking over her. But this was not a time for someone not to notice her. She grew angry, shifting in her seat banging on the table in front of her. She would not be ignored. The sky grew black and miserable since she had been sitting in that wooden seat. Her name was Mollie. She lived on the corner of town. The mysterious girl had bright almost clear blue eyes and hair that would sweep off her shoulders like the swirls at the beach. This was the third time she would claim that she saw it. She sat in the police department for she had just witnessed a crime. Mollie was a girl of just 19. She felt it in her head again. Mollie knew what was coming next. It was a flash of light. A man. A woman. She didn’t understand. But she had seen it all before. There was always something about Mollie. She saw things, heard things and felt things that people would never understand. That’s why he found her interesting. Oscar had always found her interesting. Oscar was a man of just 22. He had been stationed in the city of Franklin to work as a detective at his young age. This was his first week and he had heard the stories she told. No one could deny them false but no one could find the truth either. Mollie always told the police she had seen it happen in a dream but they never believed her. Oscar found her attractive. She was curious and different and that’s what grabbed him in the start. He wanted the key to her mind. “She’s back, is she? Yelled the sheriff. “It’s okay, I’ll deal...

...Comparative Essay - Ansooooonnn The two satirical texts ‘Animal Farm’ written by George Orwell and ‘The Trials of Brother Jero’ by Wole Soyinka both possess similarities and contrasts relating to certain concepts. A certain concept that can be investigated is how the texts mock society through the employment of literary techniques. The literary techniques portrayed throughout irony link to the mockery within the two texts. Satire is the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing or deriding human folly. ‘Animal Farm’ and ‘The Trials of Brother Jero’ both satirize a concept of society. ‘Animal Farm’ satirizes the corruption of Communist power during the Russian Revolution whilst the ‘The Trials of Brother Jero’ satirizes the Religion in the modern Nigerian Society. Irony is a component of satire and the literary techniques found in both texts can affect the meaning of the texts. There are different types of irony found in both texts. The irony in ‘Animal Farm’ is found in chapter 3, page 23. The pigs take the milk and apples away from the other animals for their own needs and manipulate them to believe that it is for their ‘own good.’ A literary technique included in this irony is diction. In Squealer’s speech to the animals discussing that the milk and apples contain ‘the necessary substances to the well-being of a pig’, he claims that ‘it has been proven by science.’ The use of diction by claiming that it has been ‘proven by science’ can manipulate...

...Animal Farm: An Abridged Text 5256 Introduction to Animal Farm ‘Animal Farm’ is a novel. It is a famous story. ‘Animal Farm’ was written by George Orwell in 1945. Mr Orwell went to a farm. He saw a boy walking with a horse. Orwell thought if animals could talk what would they think about human beings? He also thought that humans have all the power and treat animals badly. If animals had power and could talk what would they do? ‘Animal Farm’ is an interesting story. In the novel the animals can talk. ‘Animal Farm’ is a metaphor1 for Russia from 1917 to 1991. During this time, Russia was called the Soviet Union or the USSR. From 1917 to 1991 Communism existed in Russia (the Soviet Union). This means everyone is equal. There are no rich people and there are no poor people. However, there were many problems in the Soviet Union from 1917 to 1991. ‘Animal Farm’ is about these problems. 1 A metaphor is when we use one thing to describe something else. 2 Chapter 1 It is evening. Mr Jones is a farmer. He lives at Manor Farm. Mr Jones is not a nice man. Mr Jones is very cruel to his animals. When he falls asleep all the animals at Manor Farm have a meeting. Major is an old pig. All the animals like him. He is intelligent. Major wants to tell all the animals about a dream he had. All the animals are quiet. They want to listen to Major. He tells the animals that he is old. Major thinks he is going to die soon. Before he dies, Major wants...

...In George Orwell’s Novel, Animal Farm, there is a character named Snowball that is assertive, eloquent, and passionate. In the passage it displays that Snowball is assertive when he replies to Mollie by saying, “Those ribbons that you are so devoted to are the badge of slavery. Can you not understand that liberty is worth more than ribbons” (Orwell 13). This quotation represents Snowball’s assertive side when he responds very sternly to Mollie. The reader can then detect that Snowball clearly does not want the animals to have any remembrance of humans upon them. In the animal’s eyes, humans are the antagonist and the animals should never trust or help them. When Mollie mentions the ribbon, it triggers Snowball because the ribbon is a symbol...

...Major- A prize Middle White boar, very wise and his appearance is sharp. Major is highly respected among his fellow farm animals. He is twelve years old , which makes him a senior among the other animals and he also claims to have had over four hundred children. He is the one who calls the meetings and discuss his dreams he has in the first chapter. Major claims to “understand the nature of life on this earth as well as any animal now living” (28). Months after his death, the pigs dug up his skull and placed it at the base of the flagpole beside the gun. Mollie- The white mare that draws Mr. Jones’s trap. Her personality is superficial and adolescent. For example, when she arrives at the big meeting in Chapter 1, Orwell writes, “Mollie … Came mincing daintily in, chewing a lump of sugar. She took a place near the front and began flirting her white mane, hoping to draw attention to the red ribbons it was plaited with” (27). Mollie is the only animal not to fight in the Battle of the Cowshed, instead hiding in her stall. She eventually flees the farm and is last seen, bedecked in ribbons, eating sugar and letting her new owner stroke her nose.. Napoleon- One of the leaders among the pigs, Napoleon is a “large, rather fierce-looking Berkshire boar” that is up for sale. He is the only Berkshire boar on the farm. He is “not much of a talker” and has “a reputation for getting his own way” (35). Napoleon expels Snowball from the farm and takes over. He modifies his opinions and policies...

...– 3 PAP English II 5/4/15 Animal Farm PRI Author: George Orwell Genre: Novel Type of Plot: allegory, problem novel Setting: Animal Farm or Manor Farm (symbolic of Russia) in the 1920s to early 1950s Characters: Mr. Jones, Old Major, Snowball, Napoleon, Squealer, Boxer, Clover, Benjamin, Mollie, Moses, Frederick, Pilkington, Mr. Whymper, Minimus, Pinkeye Summary: Old Major the pig calls the animals over to tell them that they should have an uprising against Mr. Jones. After this, Old Major dies but the other animals are inspired by him and want to conduct animalism. The pigs are smarter than the other animals and start to run the farm. They have a revolution and successfully remove Mr. Jones, from the farm. The pigs create the rules of no sleeping in beds, no wearing clothes, no alcohol, no killing other animals, all animals are equal, and whoever has four legs or wings is a friend. Napoleon and the pigs, being the rulers, are starting to use the fresh milk and eat the apples because they “need” it. Napoleon also employs Squealer to persuade the other farm animals that the pigs are doing nothing wrong. Jones returns and the animals win at the battle of Cowshed. Mollie leaves the farm due to her interest in sugar and ribbons and never comes back. Snowball draws up plans for a windmill and Napoleon denies them and runs Snowball off the farm forever with his pack of dogs. After Napoleon chases Snowball off, he says the windmill was his idea after all and uses Snowball...

...For example, Napoleon doesn’t educate them for their own good or for the good of all, however, but rather for his own good: they become his own private army or secret police, a violent means by which he imposes his will on others. Snowball does nothing to prevent the consolidation of power in the hands of the pigs, nor does he stop the unequal distribution of goods in the pigs’ favor—he may even, in fact, be complicit in it early on. On the other hand, the horses characteristics were not that great. The first horse was Boxer. A dedicated but dimwitted horse who aids in the building of the windmill but is sold to a glue-boiler after collapsing from exhaustion. The second horse was Mollie. To me she symbol for Russian middle class (bourgeois). Mollie is a proud white mare who loves looking nice. She enjoys wearing ribbons and eating sugar cubes. I think that she was so concentrate in her interests that she did not paid to much attention to the problems around her. Additionally,in my opinion; in the case of Animal Farm, the lighthearted, pastoral, innocent atmosphere of the story stands in stark contrast to the dark, corrupt, malignant tendencies that it attempts to expose. This contrast adds to the story’s force of irony: just as the idyllic setting and presentation of the story belies its wretched subject matter, so too do we see the utopian ideals of socialism give way to a totalitarian regime in which the lower classes...
