Analysis Of George Orwell 's ' The Farm '

George was a good friend to Lennie because he cares for him. Lennie’s aunt died a while back and George promised her that he would take care of Lennie no matter what. George was not forced to watch over Lennie, he made a choice and stuck with it. Also, Lennie was holding a dead mouse and he was petting it. George saw and threw it across the pool. (page 6) He did that so Lennie wouldn’t get sick or a disease. Finally, George and Lennie went to work on a farm and there was a woman. She was a man named Curley’s wife. George had heard that she was trouble and told Lennie to stay away from her so that he wouldn’t get hurt.

Most believe when George Orwell wrote Animal Farm he was trying to warn us about several thing, some of those things include communism, revolution, and class divide. Orwell points out the dangers of communism by putting the dangers in a understandable, digestible cute story with animals. He shows the dangers of revolution by remind us how some revolutionions just end up being a switch a power to someone worse. And he reminds us about the dangers of class divide by have a big ruling class destroy all others. George Orwell wrote “Animal Farm” to remind us the dangers of communism, revolution, and class divide.

I have decided to explore the theme of how ‘Fear is a powerful motivator’. Different leaders and influential people have various ways of using fear to motivate people. Two of my texts: ‘Animal Farm’ by George Orwell, and ‘The Rise of Evil” directed by Christian Duguay, both show how totalitarian leaders used violence to motivate the public. The other texts: ‘Bowling for Columbine’ directed by Michael Moore, and ‘Who’s for the Game’ by Jesse Pope, both show how two different influential people motivated the public without using violence, instead creating fear using words.

George’s decision at the end of John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men can be defended in two ways. One sense is that George’s action to shoot Lennie was justified because George wanted the best of his friend. George knew that Lennie wouldn’t ever be happy locked up in jail, which led George to the decision of taking Lennie’s life. He also knows that Lennie is overly dependant on him, and he knows that if they were somehow separated, Lennie wouldn't survive. On the opposite end, George may have done this for his own benefit. George wanted to get rid of Lennie from the very beginning of the novel, because he wanted to live a free life without having to constantly have to Lennie’s problems.

Currently many people have hundreds of friends on Facebook and other social networks. Does that mean that nobody is lonely anymore? Many people are still lonely and even back during the great depression, many people suffered from loneliness. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is largely about the loneliness of two migrant workers who have nobody but each other. A black stable buck being segregated and showing how loneliness affects him, and a woman who wants to have friends, but has nobody, even to talk to.

Silayman Nagi Mrs. Mack American Literature 29 September 2014 Hopes and dreams are the only things that keep us motivated and hard working. In “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck this is very relevant. George and Lennie are two workers during the great depression. They have a dream of owning their own land but Lennie believes in this more than George.

In the prior speech, Napoleon uses several strategies and appeals to attempt to persuade the audience into fighting once more in a battle that is yet to be named “The Battle of the Windmill”. At the beginning of the speech, one should notice that Napoleon is able to manipulate the audience by the placement of his paragraphs using a strategy called juxtaposition. By using juxtaposition, he compares the lives of the animals before the revolution and their current state thus, capturing the audience’s attention by realizing how much better their life became. This strategy appeals to the audience by the logical appeal because it provides evidence of the poor conditions that were faced before the revolution and the current conditions. Napoleon also used a

Lennie and George have a lot to give each other, but the loyalty they have for one another seems the most profound throughout Of Mice And Men. The two have not always been friends. The reader later finds the true reason why and how Lennie and George ended up together, when George explains to Slim,"It ain't so funny, him an' me goin' aroun' together," George said at last. "Him and me was both born in Auburn. I knowed his Aunt Clara. She took him when he was a baby and raised him up. When his Aunt Clara died, Lennie just come along with me out workin'. Got kinda used to each other after a little while"(Steinbeck 39). George and Lennie never had an emotionally attached relationship, as it was one initially based upon circumstance. Eventually their bond does grow stronger. The most important event that changed their relationship was

I believe men would rather have money and survive than have friends, and we are shown this time and time again in life. In George and Lennie's case this is not true, they need each other. I conclude that over time, George thinks he needs Lennie, and just possibly surviving isn't enough in life, and true human companionship is what unfeignedly

At the end of John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men George shoots his best friend, Lennie, in the back of the head. He didn’t have very many other options. He couldn’t turn Lennie into the sheriff because he didn’t think Lennie deserved to spend the rest of his life in prison. Also, he felt like it should be him who killed Lennie, and not the other men who might make his death more painful. What he did, though, could also be seen as evil.

In conclusion, Lennie had a pattern of hurting people without meaning it. Once one incident occurred with Lennie on that farm, everything started falling apart. One by one, everybody was losing their American dream. Most of them were so close to finally completing their dream, too. So no matter how close you may be to achieving your dream, it can be ruined with just one

Karl Marx, writer of Communist Manifesto, is represented as an old, wise pig in George Orwell’s Animal Farm. Because Orwell is a democratic socialist and does not accept the ideologies of Marxism, he reveals the reality of communism and reflects his opinions through sardonic situations that occur among animals. The state of communism that Marx and Friedrich Engels describe is where the state is abolished, people live in a society where members work together in agreement and no one is exploited, and every member shares the rewards of hard work. The envisions of Marx greatly contrasted with the plot of Animal Farm. Old Major, a pig, had a dream that mirrored Marx and his dream of communism. This “dream” is ironic because it suggests that communism is only a dream. The Soviet Union’s policies were seen as steps to reach communism, rather than the end result of communism, in which all animals of the farm endured. The characters in animal farm had to pass through this in between stage before becoming a complete communist society, and in reality they remained in this stage and believed they were close to their goal.

From then until now, writers always like to use literature to illustrate political issue. Because of the unstable political situations and the dictatorships that still appear nowadays, British author George Orwell’ s notable novels such as 1984 and Animal Farm become popular again. George Orwell’ s novels are famous for the criticism and irony, they criticize the despotism and show his anti-utopia idea, and even predicted what happened after he wrote his novels.

George Orwell includes a strong message in his novel Animal Farm that is easily recognizable. Orwell’s Animal Farm focuses on two primary problems that were not only prominent in his WWII society, but also posed as reoccurring issues in all societies past and present. Orwell’s novel delivers a strong political message about class structure and oppression from the patriarchal society through an allegory of a farm that closely resembles the Soviet Union.

The rebellion was to escape from people and their cruel ways, but can they escape the death-grip of their own kind? The animals of animal farms are mistreated and have no rights. Mr and Mrs. Jones were the owners of Manor Farm, the human oppressors, and authoritarians of the animals. The animals rebel against the Jones and take over the farm. They create a utopian society for themselves, but the utopia quickly turns into a dystopia when the pigs take control of the farm. In many ways, Animal Farm is a complete allegorical / fable –like retelling of the founding of the Soviet Union, complete with a rebellion and eventual installation of a dictator. Like the ideological battle that was raged in Russia between the classes, the one that is played out in this novel have many of the same themes, including an initial push to strengthen the working class, a strong beginning movement of nationalism and unity, a series of successful efforts to topple the ruling authority (Mr. Jones), all followed by a complete totalitarian takeover by a dictator who is a hypocrite and goes back on many of the promises he made at the height of the revolutionary action.
