In Animal Farm, the character I most closely identify with is Benjamin. First of all, Benjamin is smart and realizes what is happening. If I were in a situation like Benjamin was in, I would have realized what was happening. For example, if I'm in a fight with a friend, or my friends are in a fight, I would have realized not to push them further in anyway and just go along with it till they make up. Also, Benjamin is caring i.e he cared about Boxer when he was hurt and didn't leave him for a second. This I identify with, I care about my friends and family. As, you can see, I identify with Benjamin because he is smart and caring.

Lilli,
Your post was really enjoyable to read. I liked the way you gave examples of what you would do in the situation. It made it easier to relate to you. I think you use the word "identify" a bit too much. I like the way your concluding statement says who you are most like, and the 2 reasons why you think so!
Good Job!

Lilli, I thought you had a really good post. I too agree that you are most like Benjamin. Although you know what is going on, you usually don't interfere wit what is going on. I think that you expressed you opinion well and you had good evidence that you were most like that animal. I really liked how you applied what Benjamin does in the book to your daily life. You really explained well that you are Benjamin in the book, and if someone had not had an opinion, you did a good job at persuading the reader. Good job Lilli :)!!
Lilli,
I can see why you're most like Benjamin. However, Benjamin throughout the book, is a very cynical character and gets the worst out of people. Which i don't think fits you. The only time he 'shows' it is when Boxer gets taken away. You had good evidence though, and applied it well to you and your situations.
Overall, good post and picture. (:
Lilli, I thought this was overall a very good post and I too agree that you are indeed most like Benjamin. You gave good examples of the situations Benjamin was in and you gave examples of what you would do, that little detail added so much more to your writing piece. I find that you writing good have some better word choice because you repeat a few words such as "identify" and "caring" but it is still a good piece. I also liked how you compared your characteristics with Benjamin thus proving that you are indeed most like Benjamin. Lastly, I liked the way your concluding statement summarized exactly what you were saying in such a small amount of words. Good Job!:)
