Day 5
Mollie chooses to live a life of comfortable slavery rather than make the sacrifices necessary in a communal society. Is this a wise choice? What is the significance of her leaving, both in the world of the novel, and considering that the novel is a political allegory based on actual events? Do you agree or disagree with her choices? Why?

I think Mollie's choice to live a comfortable life of slavery was not wise. The significance of her leaving slavery would be so she could be free and be an example to others. In the novel she is being an example to all of the animals so they choose to do what they want. I think based on the political allegory that her leaving was good because it showed two different things for the animals to do in their choice they make. i disagree with the fact that she chose slavery because even though she is comfortable with it she should step out of her comfort zone to try and find something better. Nothing great happens out of the ordinary unless you are able to step out of your comfort zone every once and awhile.
Therefore i think Mollie was not right while making the choices she had to make.
I think that this is a bad choice by Mollie because the i think the sacrafice is worth the rewards. With doing this it provides you with a home, friends, and food. If she decides not to participate then they wont like her as much and she wont have a place to stay. If she stays then it will provide her with what she neeeds to live. This is signifacant in the real world because it symbolizes the people who were not with the people who wanted to revolt. I disagree with her choices because I think it would be to her benifit to stay with them, the reward are much greater than the work. Mollie did not make the right move in not helping out and leaving.
i do not think this is a wise choice because even if you have to work a little for it, at animal farm she had freedom. she know has to do everything that she is told and i think she was being really selfish by leaving. that is one less worker, although she didn't really work. i think the significance of her leaving is showing that she does not want to sacrifice for her own nation, or farm, and wants the easy way out. i bet there were many people that did this during that time period, or at least wanted to. i personally don't agree with many of her choices. i am not a big fan of hers. she is shallow and just cares about her ribbons and herself. she contributed nothing.

On her part I think that she made the correct decision. I think this because she really didn't want what was going on to happen. She was sad when the Humans left because she liked being cared for and getting the ribbons. It is significant that she left because she was the first one to break one of the Commandments. She also can now be blaimed for all the troubles that are going on like the windmill falling down. Politically it is the same because if you don't like what someone stands for you generally don't vote for them. I disagree with her actions becacause she was disloyal. She was in it from the start and just decided to quit.
I think that she made the right and wise choice for her. Because when she was on the farm she wanted to have things go back to the way that they were before. Plus she never really did anything on the farm as work wise. Now the work load has doubled! If she did not work before, what makes them think that she would do it now? The significance of her leaving is that when your not comfortable with the leader ship or situation walk away. Mollie was not comfortable with the way things were turning out, so she took control. I agree with her choices. People diagree and say she was selfish. I say if that is what she wants to do and she enjoys living her life then her choice was good. :)
I think Mollie's choice to live a life of comfortable slavery was a wise decision for her. She like working for people because she gets thing like ribbons that she wouldn't get normally. The significance of her leaving in the novel is that she doesn't like the way things are going with the farm so she leaves. In the real world if someone leaves a place they don't like what people there are doing. During the Russian revolution if someone left that showed that other people can leave too. I agree with what Mollie did. She didn't like her life when the pigs ran the farm so she left. She went to a place that she enjoys more. So,for her, it was a good choice.
I agree with Mollie's choice to live in comfortable slavery. By doing so, she was able to make a life of her own and work for herself.If she had stayed on the farm then she would have worked to give the other, dictating, animals everything. And it all would have been given to them for the wrong reasons. Mollie leaving signifies the group of people in the Russian Revolution who chose to leave and get out before they had that right taken away. She definitely made a good decision to escape before things got too bad.
I think Mollie's choice to live a comfortable life of slavery was wise. Mollie really liked the luxury that the humans gave her. These luxuries include ribbons and sugar cubes. The significance of her going back to slavery is huge among the other animals. She shows that if you dont like the choices of the animal leaders, you can always go back to the way you were leaving. This happens in real life as well. After the 14th amendment was put into play all blacks were free from slavery. But because nobody would hire blacks, they were forced back into slavery. Therefore, i agree with what Mollie did because it was what she chose.
I think Mollies choice live a life of comfortable slavery was excatly what she needed. In her mind being a slave is worth the extra benefits she recieves that the free animals do not like food brought to her and occasional ribbons. I think the significance of her leaving showed the issues people faced when some chose to rebell while others stepped back and accepted what they had. I personally do not agree with Mollies decision. She settled for way less than she deserves and put little effort into the ideas the Animal Farm had towards independence. Mollie failed to look at the bigger picture and realize what a little work and motivation could do for her. Whether or not i agree with her decision, I still think that for her it was probably the best fit.
I dont think this is a wise choice ebcause although it may benefit Mollies wants, it doesnt benfit the the over all situation. The significance is that she would rather look at herself in bow and ribbons rather than fight for a cause that would benefit ehr in the long run, and wouldnt do any work. If you want to rebel from leaders in order to make your soicity better, you have to work at it. I think this relates to the reality of the story because im sure there were people who walked out and also said it was too much work. I dissagree with her choices because I would have worked with the people that i had been with my whole life instead of only thinking of myself.
when mollie chooses this life style she does this out of pure selfishness because she is considered a princess. her leaving was better for the community because now the barn does not have dead weight to eat there food without any output. the significance of her leaving can actually connect with the old soviet union. this connects by mollie being basically the rich or roalty part of the union. the animals in the barn are like the lower people that are sick of everything and cant wait to over run the government. so basically when the government was overthrown she didnt like the idea of being equal so she left just like the other royal people. i disagree with her coices because she is just a stuck up little horse and needs to get over her self.
I think Mollie's choice to live a life of comfotable slavery was not wise. I disagree with her choices because she is leaving a place where she is not controlled by 'the man' becasue she wants ribbons and sugar cubes. she cant make sacrifices for whats better for her.All she cares about is the ribbons in her hair, getting combed, eating sugar,and being taken care of. i think she should live with out the luxeries and make the sacrifices.
I beilieve mollie is a selfish lazy stuck up individual and wants everything handed to her and donsn't want to work for anything. I do not think this is a very wise choice. To me it dosn't matter if she left or not she didn't do anything but make trouble. I could care less what mollie did. I think he decision for levive was a good one for the farm. They probibly were relived she left. Nowe they dont have to look after her now or wonder what shes doing.
I think that Mollie's Choice to live a life of slavery was not a wise decision. The significance of her leaving, would be that she wanted a life of having everything done for her and having every decision made for her. In the real world this would resemble a country leaving Stalin and going back to the Czars. Some would think that it was better back when the Czars were in control.
I agree with her choices because it is her own life and she should be able to control what she wants to do with it. If that means going back to slavery so be it.
Although it was made selfishly the choice molly made turned out to be a good one. The pigs turned out to be even worst then the humans, giving the rest of the animals less food, making them work harder, and telling them its the best for them. However I think that there was little significance to her leaving the farm. You can say it was because she didn’t like being controlled by the pigs, but it was really just because she wanted some ribbons. So although I agree that she made the right choice I think that it was for the wrong reasons. Yes, to get away from tyrannical rule is a good reason, but no, because your lazy and have a thing for ribbons is not.
