Animal Farm vs “All Summer in a Day” Everyone hates waking up in the morning and hearing the sounds of rain crash on the roof of their houses, and feeling your spirit drop thinking about what you can’t do in the rain. In the book Animal Farm the animals are doing great until their leader was shot with a misfired gun and they begin to run low on food. In the story “All Summer in a Day” the children have been waiting their whole lives to see the sun and shut one girl down because she has already seen the sun. In both of the books it seems to always be dark and rainy meaning that their is a social problem or a conflict between humans or animals. In Animal Farm at the farm starts to fall apart and Napoleon becomes leader all the other animals
Animal Farm begins on Manor Farm, where overworked, tired, and hungry animals are unhappy in the conditions that they are in, but when an old boar named Old Major introduces the idea of a rebellion and encourages the animals to take control over the farm, the animals begin an uprising against the humans, taking control over the land and renaming the farm “Animal Farm.” However, greedy and corrupt leaders rise to power and turn a once prosperous farm, into a nightmare. In Animal Farm, George Orwell asserts the idea that absolute power results in corruption. Napoleon and the other pigs, interested in remaining superior, persuades the other animals by using intimidation and emotional appeals in order to keep control of the gullible animals.
Two individuals may seem similar in appearance and outward self but it’s the inner character and diverse qualities of a person that distinguishes between two people. Many have the notion to think that since two people have the same outward identity then both will get along and be the best of friends, however, this is where the dilemma arises. George Orwell, an author of Animal Farm writes a tale about two pigs by the name of Snowball and Napoleon and how their bond destroys through disagreements and jealously towards each other which later on builds an eruption on the farm. Animal Farm is an allegory of the Russian Revolution that occurred between 1905 and lasted up to 1917 due to the controversies that occurred between the Bolsheviks
Napoleon, who is one of the more intelligent pigs on the farm is force to take authority and eliminate opposition. Napoleon takes “nine sturdy puppies” (35) and becomes “responsible for their education” (35) while raising them up. The puppies soon become “fierce-looking wolves” (53) which he uses them to intimidate and petrify all the animals. Napoleon’s guard dogs “dash straight for Snowball, who only sprang from his place just in time to escape their snapping jaws” (53). Snowball “running faster than ever”
Animal Farm is an allegory of the Russian Revolution, it is based on certain aspects of the Revolution. For example, revolting the government, all of the animals on the farm group together to overthrow their cruel owner because they believe they are not being treated as well as they should be. When the animals come into power after overthrowing their master the pigs consider themselves to be the dictators on the farm, snowball one of the pigs starts to plan building a windmill to give power to the farm but Napoleon is not happy that snowball is leading the animals in thought, so he starts blaspheming him, the animals are agreeing for Snowballs idea but now Napoleon is outraged.

In both animal farm and Fahrenheit 451 the similarities and differences were evident due to how each story was specifically plotted a certain way. The simalarites included that both had a sort of underlaying and hidden message that most characters didn't notice but the reader did. For example in animal farm all the animals other than the pigs where the ones who controlled yet, at the end they where able to be compared to the ........and in Fahrenheit 451 guy montag wasn't really able to view the reality and the real world he was living in until Clarisse was able begin opening up his perspective. After the first conversation they had she asked, "Are you happy?pg.11". In animal farm this realization was noticed until the end while in Fahrenheit 451 it could be noticed towards the beginning.
My theme for the story Animal Farm by Greg Orwell is how power can lead to corruption and dictatorship/oppression. I chose this theme because it is very prominent throughout the story. In the story a few examples of this were as follows: Napoleon giving power to the pigs and terrorizing the other animals and creating new laws such as “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.” which displays how the pigs are oppressing the animals by carrying whips around to intimidate them, working them on the bare minimal amount of food they need to not expire, and violating all of the 7 Animalia commandments without remorse. This connects to my claim by displaying how they were being dictators due to the other animals having no say in
Published in England on August 17th 1945 and written by Eric Arthur Blair (also known as George Orwell) between 1943 and 1944, Animal Farm is a novella that takes place and has the same ideologies of the Russian Revolution on an imaginary farm. Major characters such as Napoleon and Boxer the Horse play important roles concerning freedom and equality. Napoleon, considered by most to be the leader of Animal Farm is manipulative and selfish; does not care about others, and does not like to be bothered when it comes to gaining full control. Boxer the Horse, on the other hand, is the strongest yet most gullible of all the animals. He believes everything Napoleon tells him and never questions whether he is losing his freedom or not. This novella argues how a farm, just like a country, can transform for the worst with leaders who do not know how to govern it. Just like Karl Marx once said “The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class.”
Animal Farm is an allegorical novel in which the animals attempt to create a utopian society. This novel is based on the once communist society in Russia, which very quickly turned into a totalitarian corrupted state under Joseph Stalin. The pigs in this story, take leadership after the rebellion takes place against Mr. Jones, the neglectful and abusive owner of Manor Farm. Napoleon, a wise and well-spoken pig who resembles Stalin, climbs his way up to leadership with Squealer, as his Spokesman, and uses language that intimidates, language that distorts the truth, and language that appeals to the emotions in order to manipulate the gullible animals of Animal Farm to prove the corrupting
Mr. Jones of Manor Farm who is apathetic and always drunken, animals are constantly exploited and treated extremely poorly. When old Major shares his speech of rebellion, the animals urge to start a revolution of ‘Animal Farm’ under the guidance of the two pigs Napoleon and Snowball, against the humans and take over the farm. As Napoleon abuses the power he gained, Old Major’s dream gradually shifts away from the consciousness of the animals, until there is no differentiation between the pigs and the humans ending where they started, Manors Farm.
In George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm, a major turning point in the novel was when Napoleon used his secret police force, his dogs, to exile Snowball. Snowball had previously been trying to improve the animal’s lives for the future by building a windmill. After Snowball was exiled, Napoleon became leader and everything immediately went amiss. Orwell stated that: "Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer- except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs" (p.86). In other words, no one was benefiting from the animal’s labours apart from the pigs and the dogs because the amount of authority the dogs and the pigs, especially Napoleon had, was corrupt. Frighteningly, if Snowball had been

Frederick Douglass once said, “Oppression makes a wise man mad.” Napoleon was a clever boar that oppressed the animals of Animal Farm. In Animal Farm, by George Orwell, Mr. Jones ran the Manor Farm. He was negligent of his animals and let them starve, so the animals rebelled against him. The animals were successful in driving Mr. Jones out and they changed Manor Farm into Animal Farm. The pigs assumed leadership of the farm since they were the brightest of all of the animals. Napoleon and Snowball were two rival pigs that always argued with each other. During a debate over the construction of a windmill, Napoleon managed to kick Snowball out of the farm and therefore established his supremacy. Napoleon used many tactics such as fear, propaganda, and manipulation to successfully seize control of the farm.
