Animal Farm Research Paper
We can not allow that more farms revolt and lose our control. We need to find a way to ensure
that the animals are joyous under our rule. As fellow farmers we should be able to support each
other, and find a way to support our animals even when a crisis is occurring. With your help we can
find a way to keep the animals jubilant. As fellow farmers you guys should help me gain control
of my animals. Helping me gain control of my farm will ensure that your animals stay under your
control. With your help there will be no more ideas of a revolt against you guys. After everything
that happened I learned my lesson and will no longer anger anymore of the animals. Helping me
gain control of my farm will ensure that your animals stay under your control. How will this help
ensure that your animals stay in your control? Easy, this will show the animals the issue of what is
happening in the other farm. Therefore showing the them that you care so much that you are

How will this eliminate any idea of revolt? The animals will see that you are on the side of the

learn that you are the way you are from years of experience. How will they learn about your years

1.What is the Gist of Old Majors Speech? At the beginning of the novel, the highly respected Middle
White Boar – old Major – presents the animals with a speech, which is intended to plant within the
animals his vision of a liberal future for all animals. The essence of Old Majors speech is that
'...The life of an animal is misery and slavery...' He is telling them of the reality of their existence –
that they are merely slaves for mankind. Old Major explains to the animals that man is the reason
why they are forced to persist in such appalling conditions of starvation, over–work and murder. Old

Moses, the tame Raven, is described as a '...tale–bearer... he was also a clever talker.' It is evident
that Moses is a liar, when he tells the animals of a '...mysterious country called Sugarcandy
Mountain, to which all the animals went when they died...' Moses is also portrayed as being a
very persuasive speaker, in that '...some of them [the animals] believed in Sugarcandy
Mountain...' thus, Moses, through his gift of the gab, is able to convince the animals of such
fiction. Another of Moses' purposes is to serve the most powerful figurehead, and this is made
clear, when it is stated 'Moses, who was Mr. Jones' special pet, was a spy...' so evidently, Moses
served Mr. Jones through spying upon the other animals for him. Squealer, in the same way, is a
negotiator. He spreads the propaganda of the pigs to the other animals, through his persuasion and
speaking abilities. This is evident, when he is introduced as a '...brilliant talker... very persuasive...'
it is also said of Squealer that '...he could turn black into white...' Squealer sells the ideas and
information of the pigs, to the farm animals, through manipulation of the facts, and his persuasive
talking. Squealer is also set as having no opinion, and this is revealed within the first few chapters,
as he never voices his outlook on the farm should be managed after the rebellion has taken place.

To the school curriculum committee,
The following text displays why Animal Farm should stay in the year 8 curriculum.
Animal Farm teaches the audience about a few different lessons, but the one that is the most
profound and bold lesson is that power can and most probably will be abused. The book displays
just how corrupt and evil the power of control can make someone. Animal Farm makes a prominent
point towards the fact that a society with no questions or opposition cannot, and will not, strive to
become a successful civilization. The first few steps of corruption under power is what lead to

Though the animals are suspicious about the pigs, they are being held back by the regulations that
are painted on the wall. As it turns out, the animals who oppose or question Napoleon have their
throats ripped out in front of everyone else. Though Napoleon orders them to their death, he is
considered as the guardian of the farm against Snowball. This is because he tortures the animals until
they confess to crimes they didn't commit.
The pigs of the farm start to take charge of the farm. As they observe every animal, they control
the words coming out of the animals and this is what leads to Napoleon and his buddies being
empowered. So powerful indeed that anybody who even thinks of defying him will be mauled by

Animal Farm By George Orwell
Animal Farm by George Orwell, an allegorical reflection of the Russian Revolution, was quite the
opposite of my average read. Opening up a novel about a dystopian society ruled by animals gave
me a whole new perspective about equal rights. It makes one think, "How come us humans are
given the upper hand and animals are forced to go by our rules?" Or irrational thoughts, such as
"Will animals one day conquer Earth?" We don't know the answers to these questions as of now, but
after reading Animal Farm my mind was full of possibilities. I've learned that animals can have
emotions, thoughts, and actions very similar to humans in their own unique way, which in this case,
is a problem to the residents of Animal Farm. The first quote, "Those...show more content...
Hegel specifically applies to Boxer, a sturdy horse who was known for his hard work and
sacrifices made for the farm. At the beginning of the book, prize boar named Old Major predicted
Boxer's future. In chapter one, Major stated, "You, Boxer, the very day that those great muscles
of yours lose their power, Jones will sell you to the knacker..." Meaning he would be slaughtered
when he was of no use to his owner. Boxer didn't seem to take this as a warning, which was a huge
mistake. Though years later this idea of Boxer being killed and used as meat had faded away, and
it was assumed that it wouldn't happen due to the fact that Jones was chased out of the farm in
chapter two. He continued to work more than needed on the farm, the same way he did before,
because he thought he'd be able to retire which would make all of his current work worth it in the
future. Since Boxer was now older, he began feeling pain, making the work harder. So again, he
was warned to work less by a horse named Clover who said, "A horse's lungs do not last forever."
Soon after this, Napoleon, the new leader, made the decision of sending Boxer away to his death.
He made it seem as though Boxer was going to a hospital to receive the care he needed to survive.
Instead, the exact opposite happened in chapter nine. It was

Animal Farm Research Paper
Quite the debate can be held over the topic of whether or not the popular book, Animal Farm by
George Orwell, is a fairy tale. Fairy tales are most commonly children stories about imaginary
happenings, but does that mean Animal Farm is not one? There are many criteria for what makes a
piece of literature a fairy tale. It just so happens that Animal Farm fits a great deal of them. Not
every fairy tale includes every criteria. Everyone's opinion on this topic is slightly different, but let
me argue my side.
Three of the requirements for literature to be considered a fairy tale are having a message or a
moral, it is an oral tradition, and simply having a happy ending. There are countless messages that

Rhetorical Analysis Animal Farm
Inside the Farm George Orwell's Animal Farm is reflective of Russia during Joseph Stalin's
tyrannical ruling. The story's antagonist Napoleon leads the Rebellion with Snowball. Once
Napoleon overthrows Snowball, he deceives and manipulates the other animals with promise of a
life free of restraint and human influence. After gaining their trust, Napoleon capitalizes on the
animals' vulnerabilities and uses his power to better the circumstances of the pigs rather than all
animals. Although he initially presents himself as a democratic head, his leadership tactics are that
of a dictator. Through examining the syntax and diction characteristic of Orwell's writing, one can
gain a better understanding of the novel's sociopolitical theme. When the animals decide to form
their own society, they choose an anthem that Old Major shares with them called Beasts of England.
The anthem marks the beginning of what is supposed to be a democracy. At first, when "the cows
lowed it, the dogs whined it, the sheep bleated it, the horses whinnied it, the ducks quaked it," the
anthem established a sense of unity and strength on the farm (13). Unity and strength are made
prominent in this sentence because Orwell did not include any conjunctions, depicting all of the
different animals as part of an aligned community. The sentence's parallelism also stresses the
equality the animals experience while singing the song. The learning of the anthem marks the
beginning of a new life, rid of human

The lives of the animals on the farm are significant to the story–why? Consider Snowball and his roll

The lives of the animals are significant to the story because they are the basis to which Orwell wrote
the story to attack the idea of totalitarian communism. The many animals are based of different
classes in Russian society and some off of leaders in Russia, like Snowball. Snowball, who is
based on Leon Trotsky, is a dedicated idealist who puts all of his heart and body into spreading

Therefore: she had hard time adjusting to life on Animal Farm. She continues to wear bows, which
is violating the one of the Seven Commandments. She eventually left the Animal Farm in exchange

Examine Orwell's tone when describing the way the animals think of themselves under Napoleon's
rule: How does Orwell's tone add to the novel's humor?
Under Napoleons rule the animals feel that they more important and that Napoleon actually care
about them whereas he only cares about his own interests, but no one sees it. Animals think that
whatever work they are doing is for their own benefit; Napoleon gives animals the chance to speak
their minds on the seven commandments giving them satisfaction of being acknowledged. Orwell's
entire novel is based on a very serious crucial political idea, but the way Orwell uses animals to
portray the entire Russian Revolution is commendable: animals running a farm on their own,
conversing is nowhere near reality and that is what brings humor to the novel.
Explain how the human characters contribute to the novel's themes and issues.

this novel is about a group of miserable and mistreated farm animals that overthrow their neglectful

Perhaps orwell wrote this political essay as a form of explaining why the events in Animal Farm
and the Russian Revolution were able to happen. He explains how power can be so easily taken
by manipulating others with just words. Orwell's purpose for " POlitics and Language" was to
criticize politicians for using these methods as a form of manipulation; he also uses this essay as
a form of advice to politicians. We know what his artistic purpose was, for animal farm, and what
his political purpose was too. He was in fact successfull in fusing these 2 in his novel. In Orwells
political essay he stated, "But one can often be in doubt about the effect of a word or phrase..."
The author is saying that one can be so unaware of what words can do to people. Or how words
can be a weapon. In Animal farm he showed how just words based on lies gave power to one.
Totalitarism grew from these lies. Using Napolean, from Animal Farm, Orwell was able to represent
the effect totalitarianism has on a

A quote from the book states "...and in August Napoleon announced that there would be work on
Sunday afternoons as well. This work was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented
himself from it would have his rations reduced by half."(Ch. 6, Animal Farm). Which basically
makes the animals force to volunteer so they can eat. The pigs manipulated them to get what they
want. The pigs also made the hens give up their eggs to make money for meals to keep the farm
running. The Hens protested which lead to death threats to the hens if they did not give up their
eggs. In the book it says "Led by three young Black Minorca pullets, the hens made a determined
effort to thwart Napoleon's wishes. Their method was to fly up to the rafters and there lay their
eggs, which smashed to pieces on the floor. Napoleon acted swiftly and ruthlessly. He ordered the
hens' rations to be stopped, and decreed that any animal giving so much as a grain of corn to a hen
should be punished by death." (Ch. 7 Animal Farm). This shows that the pigs would kill just to get

Is it not everyone's dream to live in a world where each person is equal? Karl Marx came up with
a solution to the problem of inequality and called it communism. The idea of communism looks
like a good plan on paper but it could never work in real life because of ones' large desire for power.
George Orwell uses his novel Animal Farm to show how one's greed can lead a great plan to fail,
regardless of the situation. He does this by showing how one loses focus of the original idea
because they crave power, how one then goes against the original idea, and finally how one turns
the original idea into something it was never supposed to be. In the beginning of the book, Old

the only one to re–write history though, although, he was the one that demanded the others to

Napoleon is trying to inform the animals that he is the ultimate leader and Snowball betrayed them.
The animals feel forced to believe him because if they don't they will be faced with consequences,
like death. In society today, many people are faced with situations like this. They must make a
decision, but someone may pressure them into doing something by threatening them. Furthermore,
this creates a situation where the person feels obligated to make a certain decision, developing a
follower who is no longer their own person. Finally, Napoleon convinces the animals that the rules
written on the wall have never changed, even though he continuously changed them. " Curiously
enough, Clover had not remembered that the Fourth Commandment mentioned sheets; but as it was
there on the wall, it must have done so." (Orwell 67) Napoleon wants the animals to trust him, so he
lies to them and tells them that those are the original rules. Napoleon does this so that he can have
the animals full trust, that way the animals will listen and do everything he tells them to. For the
same reason, teenagers in the world today convince their peers to do what they tell them to, resulting
in them getting what they want. As a modern teenager, I have encountered many situations where I

Use at least three examples from the reading as evidence. Some of the animals on the farm, Boxer
and the sheep, are oblivious to the concept of reading and writing. An intelligent, educated
populace is necessary for a good government to work because the fact that they're unable to learn
and expand their brain is so hard for them is bag for the rebellion because they will immediately
do whatever they are told to do. Boxer, a strong, hardworking, unitelligent horse is a great
example of someone who could negatively affect a society. "Boxer could not get past the letter
D" (Orwell 28). This is upsetting and bad for a government because Boxer agrees to all of the
rules that are established and works harder than anyone, just because Napoleon tells him he is the
most important. This could be bad because Boxer can easily get manipulated by someone looking
for power. A diligent horse like Boxer can easily get manipulated and over pushed. Boxer gets up
an hour earlier then all the other animals so he can work more by himself. "'Boxer has fallen! He
is lying on his side and can't get up?'" (Orwell 105). It shows that an uneducated populace won't
result in a good government because without Boxer, the farm can't work as efficient and as hard as
they did before. The seven commandments are very basic and are the ground rules of the farm. "It

Clover many times had questioned these changes to herself, but could not remember if the
changes had always been there. Always though, Squealer and Napoleon would assure everyone
that the commandments had never been touched and that they were always the way they were
now (Orwell 88). They had all of the animals convinced, hopefully soon enough the animals would
catch on. The original thought for the Animal Rebellion was that the animals would never be
hungry and there would never be a need to worry about food. Eventually though, the feed was
falling short. The pigs wanted to keep this a secret from the others, so they would not worry and
regret following through with the rebellion. Therefore, they filled the bottom of the feed bins
with sand and put the feed on top to make it look like the bins were always full (Orwell 76).
Eventually all of these lies would have to catch up with these pigs. This all can relate back to stuff
that happens in the world today. For example, we can not always trust reading publicity magazines,
tabloids or entertainment news on television. Most of the time they just need good stories for
people to read, and will make up anything that gets people's attention. Like Napoleon, if it is to
their advantage they will use it. Politicians will sometimes make up lies if it means making
themselves look good to the public. They will make promises that they will not always stay true to

Julius Caesar And Animal Farm Analysis
No one ever said life was going to be easy. Throughout one's life, one is pressurize into making a
decisions he or she does not want to make. Sometimes the decisions made are base on how the
person feels. One would make their decision by being loyal to the person. Or one may choose a
betrayal decision. These difficult decisions were made within the two novels, Julius Caesar by
William Shakespeare and Animal Farm by George Orwell. A person's decision, whatever it may be,
could affect anyone or everyone that revolves around the decision maker.
Conflicts, greed, arguments, crime, are only some examples how things would start to betray each
other. When things become chaos, things become hard to control. First, On Animal Farm the pigs
slowly were taking over the farm. Little without the animals knowing, they thought everything was
going as plan. "No question now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures
outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it
was impossible to say which was which." Chapter 10, pg. 118. In the end, the pigs betray their ten
commandments, their own comrades, and their very own words. Second, with in the story of Julius
Caesar, if Brutus did not kill Caesar, Antony would not had to have put the people of Rome
against Brutus and the conspirators. The pigs are to some extent like Brutus. On Animal Farm,
the pigs were well respected by the animals on Animal Farm. As for Brutus, he is well respected
by his friend and the people of Rome. Brutus also betrays himself. "But I do find it cowardly and
vile, for fear of what might fall, so to prevent The time of life), arming myself with patience to stay
the providence of some high powers that govern us below", Act 5 sc. 1 lines 113 – 117. Brutus was
saying this after Cato kills himself. Unfortunately, at the end, Brutus kills him self, in a fear that he
lost everything.
Loyalty between two things can help them gain a trust. However if one decides to abuse that trust,
then the loyalty between the two things is broken. Resembling the relationship of Boxer and
Napoleon. Boxer trusted Napoleon. Boxer's motto was, " I will work harder, Napoleon is always
right." Sadly within this

  • 2. 1.What is the Gist of Old Majors Speech? At the beginning of the novel, the highly respected Middle White Boar – old Major – presents the animals with a speech, which is intended to plant within the animals his vision of a liberal future for all animals. The essence of Old Majors speech is that '...The life of an animal is misery and slavery...' He is telling them of the reality of their existence – that they are merely slaves for mankind. Old Major explains to the animals that man is the reason why they are forced to persist in such appalling conditions of starvation, over–work and murder.

Moses, the tame Raven, is described as a '...tale–bearer... he was also a clever talker.' It is evident that Moses is a liar, when he tells the animals of a '...mysterious country called Sugarcandy Mountain, to which all the animals went when they died...' Moses is also portrayed as being a very persuasive speaker, in that '...some of them [the animals] believed in Sugarcandy Mountain...' thus, Moses, through his gift of the gab, is able to convince the animals of such fiction. Another of Moses' purposes is to serve the most powerful figurehead, and this is made clear, when it is stated 'Moses, who was Mr. Jones' special pet, was a spy...' so evidently, Moses served Mr. Jones through spying upon the other animals for him. Squealer, in the same way, is a negotiator. He spreads the propaganda of the pigs to the other animals, through his persuasion and speaking abilities. This is evident, when he is introduced as a '...brilliant talker... very persuasive...' it is also said of Squealer that '...he could turn black into white...' Squealer sells the ideas and information of the pigs, to the farm animals, through manipulation of the facts, and his persuasive talking. Squealer is also set as having no opinion, and this is revealed within the first few chapters, as he never voices his outlook on the farm should be managed after the rebellion has taken place.

Though the animals are suspicious about the pigs, they are being held back by the regulations that are painted on the wall. As it turns out, the animals who oppose or question Napoleon have their throats ripped out in front of everyone else. Though Napoleon orders them to their death, he is considered as the guardian of the farm against Snowball. This is because he tortures the animals until they confess to crimes they didn't commit. The pigs of the farm start to take charge of the farm. As they observe every animal, they control the words coming out of the animals and this is what leads to Napoleon and his buddies being empowered. So powerful indeed that anybody who even thinks of defying him will be mauled by his dogs who are the representation of Stalin's Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 6. Animal Farm By George Orwell Animal Farm by George Orwell, an allegorical reflection of the Russian Revolution, was quite the opposite of my average read. Opening up a novel about a dystopian society ruled by animals gave me a whole new perspective about equal rights. It makes one think, "How come us humans are given the upper hand and animals are forced to go by our rules?" Or irrational thoughts, such as "Will animals one day conquer Earth?" We don't know the answers to these questions as of now, but after reading Animal Farm my mind was full of possibilities. I've learned that animals can have emotions, thoughts, and actions very similar to humans in their own unique way, which in this case, is a problem to the residents of Animal Farm. The first quote, "Those...show more content... Hegel specifically applies to Boxer, a sturdy horse who was known for his hard work and sacrifices made for the farm. At the beginning of the book, prize boar named Old Major predicted Boxer's future. In chapter one, Major stated, "You, Boxer, the very day that those great muscles of yours lose their power, Jones will sell you to the knacker..." Meaning he would be slaughtered when he was of no use to his owner. Boxer didn't seem to take this as a warning, which was a huge mistake. Though years later this idea of Boxer being killed and used as meat had faded away, and it was assumed that it wouldn't happen due to the fact that Jones was chased out of the farm in chapter two. He continued to work more than needed on the farm, the same way he did before, because he thought he'd be able to retire which would make all of his current work worth it in the future. Since Boxer was now older, he began feeling pain, making the work harder. So again, he was warned to work less by a horse named Clover who said, "A horse's lungs do not last forever." Soon after this, Napoleon, the new leader, made the decision of sending Boxer away to his death. He made it seem as though Boxer was going to a hospital to receive the care he needed to survive. Instead, the exact opposite happened in chapter nine. It was Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Animal Farm Research Paper Quite the debate can be held over the topic of whether or not the popular book, Animal Farm by George Orwell, is a fairy tale. Fairy tales are most commonly children stories about imaginary happenings, but does that mean Animal Farm is not one? There are many criteria for what makes a piece of literature a fairy tale. It just so happens that Animal Farm fits a great deal of them. Not every fairy tale includes every criteria. Everyone's opinion on this topic is slightly different, but let me argue my side. Three of the requirements for literature to be considered a fairy tale are having a message or a moral, it is an oral tradition, and simply having a happy ending. There are countless messages that the author presents. George Orwell presented Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Rhetorical Analysis Animal Farm Inside the Farm George Orwell's Animal Farm is reflective of Russia during Joseph Stalin's tyrannical ruling. The story's antagonist Napoleon leads the Rebellion with Snowball. Once Napoleon overthrows Snowball, he deceives and manipulates the other animals with promise of a life free of restraint and human influence. After gaining their trust, Napoleon capitalizes on the animals' vulnerabilities and uses his power to better the circumstances of the pigs rather than all animals. Although he initially presents himself as a democratic head, his leadership tactics are that of a dictator. Through examining the syntax and diction characteristic of Orwell's writing, one can gain a better understanding of the novel's sociopolitical theme. When the animals decide to form their own society, they choose an anthem that Old Major shares with them called Beasts of England. The anthem marks the beginning of what is supposed to be a democracy. At first, when "the cows lowed it, the dogs whined it, the sheep bleated it, the horses whinnied it, the ducks quaked it," the anthem established a sense of unity and strength on the farm (13). Unity and strength are made prominent in this sentence because Orwell did not include any conjunctions, depicting all of the different animals as part of an aligned community. The sentence's parallelism also stresses the equality the animals experience while singing the song. The learning of the anthem marks the beginning of a new life, rid of human Get more content on HelpWriting.net

The lives of the animals are significant to the story because they are the basis to which Orwell wrote the story to attack the idea of totalitarian communism. The many animals are based of different classes in Russian society and some off of leaders in Russia, like Snowball. Snowball, who is based on Leon Trotsky, is a dedicated idealist who puts all of his heart and body into spreading Animalism and in improving the farm's structure. His role throughout the story is to lead Animal Farm. He serves as an example that you can't eliminate corruption by electing...show more content... Therefore: she had hard time adjusting to life on Animal Farm. She continues to wear bows, which is violating the one of the Seven Commandments. She eventually left the Animal Farm in exchange for comfort. Examine Orwell's tone when describing the way the animals think of themselves under Napoleon's rule: How does Orwell's tone add to the novel's humor? Under Napoleons rule the animals feel that they more important and that Napoleon actually care about them whereas he only cares about his own interests, but no one sees it. Animals think that whatever work they are doing is for their own benefit; Napoleon gives animals the chance to speak their minds on the seven commandments giving them satisfaction of being acknowledged. Orwell's entire novel is based on a very serious crucial political idea, but the way Orwell uses animals to portray the entire Russian Revolution is commendable: animals running a farm on their own, conversing is nowhere near reality and that is what brings humor to the novel. Explain how the human characters contribute to the novel's themes and issues. The human characters contribute to the novels themes and issues as the novels starts off with Jones, the leader, having all the control over the farm and its depicted how he mistreats the animals and the injustice which was inflicted upon them.

  • 10. Animal Farm Purpose George Orwell's novel, Animal Farm, was his very first piece of political writing. On the surface, this novel is about a group of miserable and mistreated farm animals that overthrow their neglectful owner; they take control of the farm. However, it too is a political allegory mainly focusing on the Russian Revolution. Orwell wrote Animal Farm in response to what had occurred in the Russian Revolution. Seeing how the people were being manipulated over for their freedom, he decided to write about these events through farm animals. The author's purpose for writing this novel is to warn his audience that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutly. Orwell's intent in fusing political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole, was truly...show more content... Perhaps orwell wrote this political essay as a form of explaining why the events in Animal Farm and the Russian Revolution were able to happen. He explains how power can be so easily taken by manipulating others with just words. Orwell's purpose for " POlitics and Language" was to criticize politicians for using these methods as a form of manipulation; he also uses this essay as a form of advice to politicians. We know what his artistic purpose was, for animal farm, and what his political purpose was too. He was in fact successfull in fusing these 2 in his novel. In Orwells political essay he stated, "But one can often be in doubt about the effect of a word or phrase..." The author is saying that one can be so unaware of what words can do to people. Or how words can be a weapon. In Animal farm he showed how just words based on lies gave power to one. Totalitarism grew from these lies. Using Napolean, from Animal Farm, Orwell was able to represent the effect totalitarianism has on a Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 11. Tyranny In Animal Farm Mr. Jones fell asleep drunk and all of the animals meet in the barn with Old Major. Major discusses how they need to rebel the tyranny of Man. He shares that he had a weird dream the previous night about how life on earth would be without humans. Major teaches the animals a song called "Beasts of England" and they continue to sing it until Jones has woken up. Jones thought he heard a fox in the yard and fires a shot which scares the animals. After Old Major dies, the animals decided to plan a rebellion. Among the pigs, Napoleon and Snowball were the most important in the rebellion. The rebellion happens when Jones does not feed them and falls asleep drunk. When Jones arrives, they start whipping the animals and then find themselves being attacked.

  • 12. Argumentative Essay On Animal Farm In the book Animal Farm the animals take over the farm shutting out Mr. Jones. Then the pigs tell the animals that they are more intelligent and know how to read and write so therefore they should be the leaders of the farm. The animals basically a agree without any objections in play. This doesn't include Snowball and Napoleon. These two are always fighting and debating about what needs to be done. Which all leads to the pigs gaining power. When the pigs gain power they start to organize committees throughout the farm. They also position the animals for labor work and basically act as a congress. This allows them to be passive making others do all of the work. They have a wide variety of knowledge to brainwash the animals into thinking the...show more content... A quote from the book states "...and in August Napoleon announced that there would be work on Sunday afternoons as well. This work was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented himself from it would have his rations reduced by half."(Ch. 6, Animal Farm). Which basically makes the animals force to volunteer so they can eat. The pigs manipulated them to get what they want. The pigs also made the hens give up their eggs to make money for meals to keep the farm running. The Hens protested which lead to death threats to the hens if they did not give up their eggs. In the book it says "Led by three young Black Minorca pullets, the hens made a determined effort to thwart Napoleon's wishes. Their method was to fly up to the rafters and there lay their eggs, which smashed to pieces on the floor. Napoleon acted swiftly and ruthlessly. He ordered the hens' rations to be stopped, and decreed that any animal giving so much as a grain of corn to a hen should be punished by death." (Ch. 7 Animal Farm). This shows that the pigs would kill just to get their way. They didn't care about the life just the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. Animal Farm Is it not everyone's dream to live in a world where each person is equal? Karl Marx came up with a solution to the problem of inequality and called it communism. The idea of communism looks like a good plan on paper but it could never work in real life because of ones' large desire for power. George Orwell uses his novel Animal Farm to show how one's greed can lead a great plan to fail, regardless of the situation. He does this by showing how one loses focus of the original idea because they crave power, how one then goes against the original idea, and finally how one turns the original idea into something it was never supposed to be.

When he did emerge, it was in a ceremonial manner, with an escort of six dogs who closely surrounded him and growled if anyone came too near," (7.5) Napoleon is now the most important animal on the farm, and even re–writes history to make himself seem even better. Napoleon was not the only one to re–write history though, although, he was the one that demanded the others to make false confessions just so they could be killed. "And so the tale of confessions and executions went on, until there was a pile of corpses lying before Napoleon's feet and the air was heavy with the smell of blood, which had been unknown there since the time of Jones," (7.26). Napoleon wanted to prove his power to the other animals and he would stop at nothing to do so. One could say that Napoleon became worse than Mr. Jones, the original farm owner, ever was. A plan that started out to make the farm a communist place turns out to be ruled by a dictator, again.

  • 14. George Orwell's novel, Animal Farm, was his very first piece of political writing. On the surface, this novel is about a group of miserable and mistreated farm animals that overthrow their neglectful owner; they take control of the farm. However, it too is a political allegory mainly focusing on the Russian Revolution. Orwell wrote Animal Farm in response to what had occurred in the Russian Revolution. Seeing how the people were being manipulated over for their freedom, he decided to write about these events through farm animals. The author's purpose of writing this novel is to warn his audience that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Orwell's intent on fusing political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole, was truly successful. A year after Orwell published Animal Farm, he published "Why I Write." He used his autobiographical essay to establish clarification on the political meanings of his various creations. After Animal Farm was published, his audience was left with many questions and no answers to the reasoning behind Orwell's thoughts. In response to all this confusion Orwell wrote "Why I Write." This autobiographical essay is about the evolution of his writing career. The author's purpose for "Why I Write" is to provide a deeper understanding and reasoning for the messages his art contains. Orwell created non–fictional text to expose the truth behind his fictional works. Orwell's artistic purpose for animal farm was to create a story that Get more content on HelpWriting.net

The book Animal Farm by George Orwell is based on the Russian Revolution. In the book, the animals of Manor Farm are ruled by two pigs named Napoleon and Snowball. The animals follow all the orders that are given to them by the pigs because the pigs are "superior" and they know what's right.In the book Animal Farm, many of the animals are influenced by the pigs to do things they don't agree with, but will be faced with consequences if they don't.

Napoleon is trying to inform the animals that he is the ultimate leader and Snowball betrayed them. The animals feel forced to believe him because if they don't they will be faced with consequences, like death. In society today, many people are faced with situations like this. They must make a decision, but someone may pressure them into doing something by threatening them. Furthermore, this creates a situation where the person feels obligated to make a certain decision, developing a follower who is no longer their own person. Finally, Napoleon convinces the animals that the rules written on the wall have never changed, even though he continuously changed them. " Curiously enough, Clover had not remembered that the Fourth Commandment mentioned sheets; but as it was there on the wall, it must have done so." (Orwell 67) Napoleon wants the animals to trust him, so he lies to them and tells them that those are the original rules. Napoleon does this so that he can have the animals full trust, that way the animals will listen and do everything he tells them to. For the same reason, teenagers in the world today convince their peers to do what they tell them to, resulting in them getting what they want. As a modern teenager, I have encountered many situations where I was being peer pressured into doing something.

  • 16. Animal Farm Essay Questions Animal Farm Essay Questions 1. In Animal Farm, Squealer is the propagandist. Using at least three scenes, show how his ability to use language well affects the events in the novel. Without Squealer, Napoleon's power would not have been so strong. Squealer is a very intelligent persuasive pig who can easily make excuses to explain to the other animals for Napoleon's doings. For example, when the pigs were discovered drinking all the milk and eating the apples. Quickly, Squealer came up with a reasonable explanation, "It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples. Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Jones would come back!" (Orwell 31). Squealer convinces the other animals that thy need the pigs...show more content... Use at least three examples from the reading as evidence. Some of the animals on the farm, Boxer and the sheep, are oblivious to the concept of reading and writing. An intelligent, educated populace is necessary for a good government to work because the fact that they're unable to learn and expand their brain is so hard for them is bag for the rebellion because they will immediately do whatever they are told to do. Boxer, a strong, hardworking, unitelligent horse is a great example of someone who could negatively affect a society. "Boxer could not get past the letter D" (Orwell 28). This is upsetting and bad for a government because Boxer agrees to all of the rules that are established and works harder than anyone, just because Napoleon tells him he is the most important. This could be bad because Boxer can easily get manipulated by someone looking for power. A diligent horse like Boxer can easily get manipulated and over pushed. Boxer gets up an hour earlier then all the other animals so he can work more by himself. "'Boxer has fallen! He is lying on his side and can't get up?'" (Orwell 105). It shows that an uneducated populace won't result in a good government because without Boxer, the farm can't work as efficient and as hard as they did before. The seven commandments are very basic and are the ground rules of the farm. "It was also found that the stupider animals , such as Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 17. Animal Farm Essay Animal Farm Essay As a kid, your parents are constantly telling you not to trust what all you read on the internet or to not believe everything your peers say. It turns out, they'd be correct. The world has a lot of false information threaded through it. As did Animal Farm, coincidentally all of that untrue information could be traced back to one person. Napoleon. George Orwell's book, Animal Farm, relates a lot to everyday life as it is today. The animals from the farm and the people from today's world are constantly seeing and hearing information that is untrustworthy. It can be hard knowing what or whom to trust. The animals had a hard time with that as well. There were many times the animals had lies told to them from the mischievous...show more content... Clover many times had questioned these changes to herself, but could not remember if the changes had always been there. Always though, Squealer and Napoleon would assure everyone that the commandments had never been touched and that they were always the way they were now (Orwell 88). They had all of the animals convinced, hopefully soon enough the animals would catch on. The original thought for the Animal Rebellion was that the animals would never be hungry and there would never be a need to worry about food. Eventually though, the feed was falling short. The pigs wanted to keep this a secret from the others, so they would not worry and regret following through with the rebellion. Therefore, they filled the bottom of the feed bins with sand and put the feed on top to make it look like the bins were always full (Orwell 76). Eventually all of these lies would have to catch up with these pigs. This all can relate back to stuff that happens in the world today. For example, we can not always trust reading publicity magazines, tabloids or entertainment news on television. Most of the time they just need good stories for people to read, and will make up anything that gets people's attention. Like Napoleon, if it is to their advantage they will use it. Politicians will sometimes make up lies if it means making themselves look good to the public. They will make promises that they will not always stay true to their word and Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. Julius Caesar And Animal Farm Analysis No one ever said life was going to be easy. Throughout one's life, one is pressurize into making a decisions he or she does not want to make. Sometimes the decisions made are base on how the person feels. One would make their decision by being loyal to the person. Or one may choose a betrayal decision. These difficult decisions were made within the two novels, Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare and Animal Farm by George Orwell. A person's decision, whatever it may be, could affect anyone or everyone that revolves around the decision maker. Conflicts, greed, arguments, crime, are only some examples how things would start to betray each other. When things become chaos, things become hard to control. First, On Animal Farm the pigs slowly were taking over the farm. Little without the animals knowing, they thought everything was going as plan. "No question now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which." Chapter 10, pg. 118. In the end, the pigs betray their ten commandments, their own comrades, and their very own words. Second, with in the story of Julius Caesar, if Brutus did not kill Caesar, Antony would not had to have put the people of Rome against Brutus and the conspirators. The pigs are to some extent like Brutus. On Animal Farm, the pigs were well respected by the animals on Animal Farm. As for Brutus, he is well respected by his friend and the people of Rome. Brutus also betrays himself. "But I do find it cowardly and vile, for fear of what might fall, so to prevent The time of life), arming myself with patience to stay the providence of some high powers that govern us below", Act 5 sc. 1 lines 113 – 117. Brutus was saying this after Cato kills himself. Unfortunately, at the end, Brutus kills him self, in a fear that he lost everything. Loyalty between two things can help them gain a trust. However if one decides to abuse that trust, then the loyalty between the two things is broken. Resembling the relationship of Boxer and Napoleon. Boxer trusted Napoleon. Boxer's motto was, " I will work harder, Napoleon is always right." Sadly within this Get more content on HelpWriting.net
