Keeping The Basics

In Animal Farm, the animals are making the rules for their future 'society' without human control. The leaders (the pigs) have agreed that all human products and ways of life are banned. One of the animals, Mollie, the horse, says she wants to keep her sugar cubes and the ribbons for her mane and is told she cannot do so because that represents humans and their suppression of the animals.
If you were going to lose the way of life that you had always known what two material things would you want to take with you to the new 'society'? Or would you not want to take anything with you at all?

  1. As much as I would want to take my cell phone and laptop, if all other previous ways of life were going to be wiped out, what would be the good in having those things? As long as my friends and family were going to be coming to the new society with me, I would adapt to the new way of life just fine.
    It would be an adventure. =)

  2. I would take my Bible and my scrapbook. I would like to have those pictures with me so that I would have those memories substained. and my bible is what keeps me steady and is the foundation of my beleifs, I couldn't go to another society without it.

  3. I would probably want to take a notebook to journal or write things down and probably my Bible just to keep my spirits up and keep me going. Being able to read and journal about what was happening would probably make life a little bit more bearable.
