The next day, snooty matador El Primero arrives, needing a bull for his final bullfight before retirement. Moreno puts all the bulls in a ring to fight it out, but Ferdinand refuses to take part, causing a chain of mishaps when he tries to help Guapo recover from a stage fright-induced faint. El Primero gives Moreno two days to get the bulls into shape. Guapo is sent to the slaughterhouse, and Valiente informs a horrified Ferdinand that non-fighters now become meat. Don Juan must have been both touched by the sight and dismayed by his prized animal’s corrida prospects, for he named the bull Civilón —“Large Civilian,” a colloquial slur Spanish soldiers used for ordinary citizens.Ferdinand believed the Serbs to be “pigs,” “thieves,” “murderers” and “scoundrels.” Yet he had opposed annexation for fear that it would make an already turbulent political situation even worse. Formerly controlled by the Ottoman Empire, Bosnia-Herzegovina’s population was roughly 40 percent Serb, 30 percent Muslim and 20 percent Croat, with various other ethnicities making up the remainder.

Ferdinand was published at the beginning of World War Two and was variously viewed as pacifist, fascist or communist in intent and as propaganda for the Spanish Civil War which began in 1936, a year after Ferdinand was conceived by Leaf and Lawson, who both denied it had any political agenda. Ferdinand ... did not fight but sat under a tree and just smelled the flowers. It was meant as a reminder to coastwatchers that it was not their duty to fight and so draw attention to themselves, but to sit circumspectly and unobtrusively, gathering information. Of course, like their titular prototype, they could fight if they were stung. [20]In the DC Comics, the name Ferdinand is used for a Minotaur chef at the Themysciran embassy in New York City. [21] Ferdinand also makes an appearance in the animated film Wonder Woman: Bloodlines. Lt Col Harrach added "I seized the Archduke by the collar, to stop his head dropping forward, and asked him if he was in great pain. He answered me quite distinctly, 'It's nothing!' How "The Story of Ferdinand" Became Fodder for the Culture Wars of its Era". The New Yorker. December 15, 2017. Like The Little Prince— a book published eight years later and inspired by its author’s wartime experience in the desert— The Story of Ferdinand has its roots in the lived experience of its creators. Both Leaf and Lawson had seen the world come undone in its first global war. When drafted, Lawson had joined the U.S. Army’s first camouflage unit. As the young artist Franz Marc was painting his extraordinary hill-wide canvases across the French countryside in another army’s camouflage unit, Lawson was putting on plays and music shows for French children.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Despite the tendency for people to read a political message in the story, Munro Leaf always maintained that its only agenda was to entertain. “It was propaganda all right,” he's quoted as saying, “but propaganda for laughter only.” Atwater, Richard & Florence, Lawson, Robert (Illustrator). "Mr. Popper's Penguins." Boston: Little, Brown and Co., 1938. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand gave the hardliners in Austria-Hungary the opportunity to take action against Serbia and put an end to their fight for independence. In July 1914, the situation escalated. After demanding impossible reparations and failing to receive them, Austria-Hungary declared war against Serbia. As was expected, the complex web of alliances was activated as Russia declared war on Austria-Hungary, Germany declared war on Russia, and France and Britain declared war on Germany and Austria-Hungary. World War I had begun. Tim Nordquist as Maquina, a lab-cloned Belted Galloway who never speaks, but only grunts and growls. He is the third bull to befriend Ferdinand.
