Gabriel Channel also known as Coco came from a humble beginning and an unhappy childhood.But little did she know that she would become the 20th century most prominent designers.Channels designs were based on the simplicity and elegance.She introduced relaxed dressing and influenced modern day fashion.
The historical problem was womens were still not equal to men and one way they were not equal was their clothing.Women were starting to do jobs that men were usually expected to do.Women were expected to wear dresses corset and not casual clothing.
she revolutionized women fashions.Casual soft shaped clothes and relaxtion.Chanel took women fashions away from stiff corsets and introduced practical clothing borrowed from men clothing.Practical clothing that women wear today.
What was the problem ?the problem was that high fashion had been taken over by men.There were too many men in the fashion industries and they did not know how to make clothing for women.Coco chanel had gift for knowing what women wanted.
She motivated others by influencing women to wear more comfortable clothing like the "little blak dress"That was casual an elegant.
Through the 1990 and 2000 Karl Largfield kept Chanles name alive and well after her death.
The effect her clothing had on the 1920 since now,channel took womens fahsions away from stiff corsets and introduced casual practical clothing borrowed from mens fabrics.
The long term change that happened is the new fashion expressed the new status of women. Women started to enter a variety of careers and new ways of living.During world war 2women took over mens jobs and the traditional corset disapeared.The development was influenced by the new attitude of women.
Why should we care about Coco Chanels legacy?Because she influenced independent women.Not only did she influence attitude but also how to wear it.The development was influenced by the attitude of women.
Coco Chanel legacy still lives on every day.You can see it and feel it the concept of the way women dress the natural womens figure,elegant and sophisticated.
The new fashion expressed the new status of women.Her fashion and idea contributed to the evolution of modern day woman and their careers.

                         rough draft
Although animal farm appears to be a simple fairy tale in reality its a satire of a difficult period in russian history.
Animal farm appears to be a simple story about animals rebelling ,its actually an allegory written by george orwell to connect to the issues in russia .It was written in 1945 to critizise communism and dictatorship.
In animal farm the way character respond to stories has a strong connection to their ability to survive .
Squealer takes stories that happened and twist them in his own way.
One example squealer twisting stories is the story of Boxers death. Squealer says the "van had been previously the property of a knacker and had been bought by a surgeon and it had not been painted over"He also claims he was with boxer at his death bed.
Another story that squeaker twisted was how Napolean was responsible for the wind milll. Snowball fills the animals with lies that the "plan snowball had drawn on the floor of the shed was stolen from Napolean's paper". Finally Finally squealer persuades the animals that the pigs needed apples and milk. Squealer says they needed the apples and milk to "preserve their health". Also "milk and apples have been proven to contain substances that helps the well being of a big". There for squealer twist stories to benefit his self and to survive.
    Boxer lets the stories make him by listening and obeying Napolean order.Boxer always says "Napoleans is always right"Boxer works harder even when he had just recovered from an injury.
For example after his hoof was still healing he refused to take even a day off work.He also made it point of honor that no one knew he was in pain. Boxer was lead to believe that snowball was responsible . Boxer replied by saying "but he was wounded"Squealer persuaded Boxer and then he responded "If comrade Napolean says it must be right"Boxer also believes that he would go and be able to retire but he was given to the knackers. For example Boxer says"He looked forward to the peaceful days that he  would spend in the corner of his pasture.He also intended to learn the rest of he alphabet for the remainder of his life.Boxer lets the stories and lies make him which lead to a tragic fate.
     Benjamin did not make stories nor did he believe in them.benjamin did believe that boxer was taken to a surgent. For example Benjamin says "fools fools do you not see what is written on the side of the van"Trying to alert the other animals of the lies being told. Also when it was time to vote for Napolean or Snowball Benjamin did not side with neither.For example "he refused to believe that food would become more plentiful or that the windmill would work" Finally when squealer changed the comandment Benjamin did not believe the lies."Benjamin nodded his muzzle with a knowing and seemed to understand but said nothing. Although Benjamin did not master the stories neither did he believe the stories.
   The ablility to understand stories has a major impact on survival in Animal Farm.
       Boxer squealer and Benjamin had different understanding of stories. Boxer believed every word,Benjamin did not believe and Squealer was able to manipulate the stories. All these differences effected each characters fate.
    since stories are so powerful society must be aware of how they interpret them.

animal farm
In animal farm the animals accept Napoleans lies due to the issues.They are frightened,unintelligent and squealer persuades themwith fast talk and purasion.
Napolean scares the animals by controlling their rationa and using the dogs to keep them from speaking out.For example Napolean said whoever did not participate in the volunteer work would get their rations cut in in half.Another example of napolean frighting the animals is by having the dogs "growl"at any one who debated his ideas.
Secondly the animals also believe napolean lies because they are unitelligent .For example when the animals were given orders they "they didnt have any thoughts to go angainst what napolean was saying.Another example is whenthe pigs changed the comandments they were not aware of the changes because they couldnt read.
Thirdly squealer is able to persuade the animals to think and do whatever he wants.For example squealer persuaded the animals to think that Napolean came up with the idea to bulid the windmill.Also another example of squealer persuading the animalsis when he beging to blame snowball foe every incident.
In conclusion Napolean uses many methods to opress the animals.

Having a good reputation for being independent and stylish.Coco chanel to me made the biggest impact in fashion history and womens history.

Third anotation
The article"the beauty magnet"focuses on how coco chanel's damages her reputation by having a relationship with a german nazi officer during world war 2.She closed  her business and was out of the spotlight until 1954.At the age of 71 she made a comeback and was welcomed with opened armed. Even tho europe felt her designs werent very revolutionary americans embraced it more than ever.Once again she was at the top of the "fashion ladder".
This article helps my research because it shows me how much of an influence chanel had on the commom people ad in the fashion industry.To be able to make an action that she knew would damged her reputation and still have enough confidence to keep on fighting.Her clothing wasnt just viewed  as fashion in those day.It was viewed as the enpowering of women.
the article is sencondary and it does not give me an author but it is from the founder off chanel inc.And there are other articles listed that are relevant to my research.

The author connel values equality for three reasons.First connel makes zaroff the bad guy in the story.By making Zaroff the bad guy that shows the author is against Zaroff's ideas,and against liberty.For example:the author gives Zaroff the characteristic of"pointed teeth"making him more of a scary character.
Another reason why i believe the author is for equality because he shows the effect of what happens without equality.Without equality and rules people take matters in their own hands.For example Zaroff felt he was better then the sailors because he was stronger and wealthier.Zaroff didnt feel he was equal to the sailors thats why he felt no shame in hunting them,He saw them as the "scum of the earth".Finally the main character was against zaroffs ideas.For example he thought what zaroff was doing was wrong,in the passage he says "what you speak of is murder"Inconclusion" Those are the majorideas that show that connel is for equality.
