William Arthur Ward, an American inspirational writer once said, “The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sail” (“BrainyQuote”). A pessimist tends to doubt everything and is viewed as a negative person. On the other hand, an optimist, always hopes for a positive outcome. Lastly, a realist demonstrates a practical outlook throughout his/her life and lives in the moment. Orwell utilizes a variety of characters in the novella to portray idealists and realists in the twentieth century. The main setting of the story takes place on a farm representing the Soviet Union during the Russian Revolution. The characters are used to personify leaders and social classes during communist

Ever since the beginning of the human race, education played a paramount role in people’s lives; however, only few were allowed to have outstanding education while the majority had to be employed in low-paying jobs due to lack of education. In the Animal Farm, George Orwell reflects on the Russian Revolution, as Old Major, a pig in Manor Farm, shares his message of rebelling against the egotistical humans, which three intelligent pigs—Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer—pass on by organizing the Animalism. Although the rebellion breaks out successfully and the farm name changes to “Animal Farm,” things go sordid when Napoleon takes the leadership by sending Snowball into an exile. Numbers of tragic events occur under Napoleon’s atrocious leadership

Animal Farm by George Orwell and The Truman Show directed by Peter Weir are two different texts that explore similar themes. Some of these are: the good life for an individual, the good life for a society, and power. Animal Farm is novel about a group of animals who overthrow their farms human leader, Mr. Jones, for independence. In The Truman Show, Truman Burbank is a boy who grows up in a reality TV show set, unaware of this fact. This essay will explore the similarities and differences between these two texts.

“Democracy is not a government; it is a way of thinking, a responsibility” (Aricruz). Democracy is a system based upon a government of people. It focuses on the freedom of every individual. It is important as it protects each and everyone’s opinion, even the minority groups have the right to be respected and their views are as important as the majority views. In Animal Farm, George Orwell shows the negative outcome of socialism which exposes democracy as the best political system. By examining the political side of this novel many events we see through Old major’s character and the song ‘Beast of England’ demonstrates the advantage of working as a democratic society.

The novel Animal Farm by George Orwell is about a farm led by Mr. Jones the farmer, who is a drunk and cruel tyrant. One day, the animals on his farm have enough of him, so they take over the farm. They set up a government of their own in which it starts out with all animals equal, but as time progresses it turns into a regime as oppressive and dictatorial as that of Mr. Jones. This new dictatorship is led by a pig named Napoleon who uses his speechwriter, Squealer, to create various forms of propaganda to sway the animals towards him. Through the impressive stylistic propaganda skills of Squealer, a fake reality is shaped by words and the animals fall victim to the power of words without understanding the deeper meanings behind them.

When Major first proposed animalism to the animals of Manor farm, it seemed like a dream too good to be real, and unfortunately that’s how it ended. Animalism is a belief that all animals are equal, and can run the farm, better than their human oppressors. At first this was the outcome of the rebellion, but from the very beginning, none of them were equal. The first harvest of milk and apples were confiscated to be eaten only by the pigs, for their intellect was far larger than their comrades.

George Orwell’s novella, Animal Farm, is a representation of the Russian Revolution and the Communist government that followed. The novella begins with the working class animals living under the rule of their bourgeois, the farmers. Anti-human sentiments grow among the proletariat animals, until they revolt against the farmer and his men and create their own governing system for the farm. This system, known as Animalism, is the idea that all animals are friends and that men are evil. Their new society starts out great; they have equality among the animals and plans for strengthening their farm. Two pigs soon become the forefront of Animalism, Napoleon and Snowball. These pigs often fight and do not work together to get things done, much like Joseph Stalin and Leon Trotsky of the Russian Revolution. Much like Trotsky, Snowball is chased out of the society and blamed for all of the problems that occur after his banishment. The animals’ utopia begins to crumble as Napoleon and the remaining pigs begin to take more and more privileges, and demand that the other animals work harder for less food. By the end of the novella, it is evident that the pigs have become worse than the farmers that were in control originally. Animal Farm, explains that in society, there will always be a select few that receive more benefits than the rest of the population, and how the general public allows this to happen.

“I will work harder!” and “Napoleon is always right.” are my two favorite quotes. Working hard can lead to a very successful life for all the animals on the fantabulous Animal Farm. Our farm is great because, everyone, except the cat, does a lot of work, I do more work but that’s to make sure the farm runs smoothly. You can usually find me doing work out in the field or dragging rocks to the windmill sight. The windmill was going perfectly and we were almost were done and then Snowball knocked it down. A few days ago a chicken asked me why I work so hard and still get nothing in return, I replied “I may be a simple work horse but I know that working hard conquers a lot of problems.” There is another thing, I remember Old major’s speech it

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.

Roxanne and I have begun reading George Orwell’s Animal Farm. This novel begins with a gathering of farm animals in a barn. An old and respected pig called Old Major gives a political speech to the other animals and explains his view of an ideal society for them. He expresses his belief that mankind is their enemy, and how he thinks that they should no longer be overpowered by their tyrannical and destructive ways.

He explains to Reuven that he has a stomach condition in which Mr. Savo explains, “Stomach’s got no juices or something”, which has kept him in the hospital his whole life (57).

George Orwell’s timeless novel Animal Farm is political satire about the era of The Soviet Union and Communism as an action rather than an idea that was meant to be expressed on paper.

Almost every character represents a historical figure who preached communism. In earlier stages of Animal Farm, The political setting suggested that things were more democratic
