The theme of abuse of the hierarchy system is used in Animal Farm with great effect in uncovering facets of the human condition.

Animals by Simon Rich is an outstanding short story which takes a unique perspective on the everyday life in a classroom. The story is written from the point of view of a hamster who spends his tortured life entrapped in a cage. From the first point in this story, it is clear that the purpose of the writing is not to understand the hamster, but rather to analyze the different actions of the people, and to discover that how they act towards the hamsters reflects on their character. It is curious to view the everyday interactions of people through a different set of eyes, that is done by humanizing the narrator’s perspective. Based on the actions of the many people and the treatment of the class pet, the author suggests that human nature is very much a product of the financial circumstances a person is subjected to.

In our contemporary civilization, literature plays an important and impacting role in our daily lives. Adapting to the different likes and tastes of modern day society, books and novels have different types and genres, all having in common the objective to please the reader and to convey morals and themes to the audience. In the 20th century were written 2 novels, The Chrysalids and Animal Farm, which will be compared and contrasted in the following essay, demonstrating the fact that they both target the general audience and not one particular group of readers. The comparison between both novels will be done via the contrast of specific literary elements such as the plot and the moods of the novels,

There were some blank white spaces in the book which the author created. I think the author created this blank space to allow readers to create their own sense of imagination and to ponder about the next adventure of the characters. The text, illustrations and creativity utilized by the author clearly correlates with the plot of the story. The font and size of texts were used differently in the book. At the beginning of the book, the text appears to be dull and linear. The dialogue changes to a more modern form of communication as the story progresses into a more adventurous one. Illustrations and texts in this book were equally important in telling the story. The story is narrated from the view point of the pigs which they traveled to tell different stories. The author utilized various forms of arts to tell the story from the pigs own view. The characters initially appeared to be cartoonish but as the story progresses became more realistic in a three dimensional format. This is when the reader is able to distinguish the old folktale from this new story which takes on a new transformation. I enjoyed this book because of its creativity and transformation. This book brings delight to readers and creates a sense of imagination for readers. It encourages readers to be curious, explore and be adventurous. The story teaches a valuable lesson of empowering yourself to take charge of your own destiny team

The antagonist of the book ‘Animal Farm’, Napoleon was highly emphasized for his cruel tactics that he upheld against his fellow animals. He tortured and tormented them giving himself the title of a cruel leader. This sense of tyranny is why he resembles Mr.Jones the previous owner of Manor Farm. Similar to Mr.Jones, Napoleon has created a caste system in which he is the “farmer” and the rest of the animals are his “slaves”, he has shown that he only uses the animals for his own monetary gain, and that he uses fear and propaganda to control the rest of the animals. In this essay I will compare and contrast the two individuals.

The Lion and the Ox is a one of the oldest and most popular pieces of classic Arabic literature. Originally from India, this animal fable is famous for its inclusion of many other animal fables, each of which help provide the characters of the story with advice regarding their situation. Unlike The Arabian Nights, which also uses a frame tale that contains each tale, multiple animals share their wisdom with one another. The wisdom of the story’s two main characters, Kalila and Dimna, help foreshadow and motivate the events of the frame tale and bring it to a reasonable yet tragic conclusion.
