Animal Farm Analysis

Literature of any time can open our minds and show us how things or events always repeat and that nothing really changes in our society. In the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, we can see how many characters actually exist in the world. For instance GOP frontrunner Donald Trump he is very similar to the character Napoleon, they are both interested in power and wealth. On January 28th, the republicans hosted a debate streamed by Fox News, which Donald Trump skipped making a campaign of his own raising money towards veterans day and he raised about 6 million dollars. Since that day only 2.9 million dollars have been dispersed, so that leaves us with the question "Where did the money go?" or "What happened to the other half?" This exactly happened

Comrades of Animal Farm! We are going to elect a leader to guide our beautiful country. The candidates on the official ballot are Snowball and Napoleon, both pigs and members of our utopian community. On the other hand, we also have Boxer, a horse but a friend nevertheless. To learn more about our candidates and our possible future leader, lets analyses the strengths and weakness of Snowball, Napoleon, and Boxer.

He goes on to imply that all animals should appreciate the sacrifice Napoleon has made in becoming their leader. He explains leadership is not a pleasure, rather it is a "Deep and heavy responsibility." The syntax Squealer uses is familiar to the animals that are used to wading in deep mud doing heavy duty work. Squealer knows the other animals are not very intelligent so these words would impress the others as they know they could not carry out such a task. Squealer can be seen here exploiting one of the animals' biggest flaws: their lack of intelligence and their inability to see through his shroud manipulation. He is ensuring that none of the other animals would want to be a leader. Squealer explains that Napoleon would be happy letting the other animals make their own decisions if he thought they would make the right ones following Snowball for example, would not be the right decision as far as the other pigs are concerned. The animals are lulled into a false sense of security that the pigs will look after them. This would further increase their trust in what Squealer is saying to them. However, one of the animals say Snowball was a brave pig. Squealer goes on to explain "Loyalty and obedience are more important." This would condition the

No matter how beneficial or hurtful a leader is, propaganda is crucial for them to gain and maintain their power. These leaders use pathos, name-calling, and bandwagon propaganda just as Napoleon does in George Orwell’s Animal Farm.

Some of the readers might think that it’s easy and some might think it’s hard. We all know that Napoleon finds tricking animals easy. When he wants something all he has to do is change up the rule a little. “No animal shall sleep in a bed” (Orwell, 15) This is how it should be. It is one of the original commandments. “No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets.” (Orwell, 42) Napoleon did not inform anyone but the other pigs that they were now allowed to sleep in beds. He wanted it so he got it but he had to trick the other animals to get it. When all of the other animals saw a change in the seven commandments they were very confused to why it looked different but since they can’t read they didn’t totally understand what changed. The animals all know that Frederick the neighbour farm owner is a jerk. Since no one of the other animals are literate, Napoleon made the decision to sell the timber to Mr. Fredrick. Frederick decided to trick the animals at animal farm with fake paper notes. “Fredrick had wanted to pay for the timber with a cheque, which, it seemed, was a piece of paper with a promise to pay written upon it. But Napoleon was too clever for him.” (Orwell, 61 - 62) In this quotation you see that Frederick used his knowledge of numbers. Napoleon didn’t know that he was given fake bills. He should have listened to all of the other animals when they said that he was not the best choice. When the pigs all lied to the rest of the animals it was so bad and cruel. Boxer was getting older and he collapsed. The pigs told everyone that he was being sent to a doctor but in fact he was getting sent to an animal slaughter place. “‘Quick, quick’ he shouted ‘Come at once!’ ‘They’re taking Boxer away.’” (Orwell, 75) At first, all of the animals thought that Boxer was going somewhere safe. He actually got sent to a horse slaughtering place. Hopefully there will be better leaders in the future especially when it comes to the lives

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.

In his article ‘Puppies, Pigs, and People Eating and Marginal Cases’, Norcross makes the argument that buying factory raised meat and eating it can be morally compared to obtaining puppies and torturing them to extract cocoamone hormone for gustatory pleasure. He also states that meat-eaters that come to this realization should turn vegetarian. According to people who disagree with Norcross, they argue the fact that factory farmed animals are not puppies, most consumers do not torture or kill the factory farmed meat, and becoming vegetarian will not really make an impact and prevent animal suffering. If majority of the US population switched their diet to become vegetarian, there would be less animal suffering and would lead to a big impact

After the rebellion, and the animals won over the farm, the pigs naturally took the lead. They came up with the seven commandments of animalism, which all animals are to follow. This consisted of rules such as no animal should walk on two legs, and no animal should kill another animal. All of the animals were excited about the rules, and began to remember them as soon as possible. Orwell states, “All the animals nodded in complete agreement, and the cleverer ones at once began to learn the Commandments by heart” (Orwell 25). Then throughout the story the pigs manipulated the commandments for the benefit of themselves and convinced the animals that the commandments are the same as they always were. Squealer was a brilliant speaker with a lot of charm who was always able to convince the animals, who weren’t very intelligent, to believe whatever he said. For example, one rule in the seven commandments is no animal should commence trade or receive money from human beings.

Factory farms are an inhumane processes in which animals are mass produced for the sale and consumption of the increasing human population. These animals are put on a diet of GMO grains, artificial hormones, and antibiotics. Animals are crammed, neglected, and abused as safety and comfort are not the top priority of this industry. Factory farmed cows are treated as nothing more than products used to generate income.

Animal Farm is a masterfully written cynical exploration into the abuse of power through language.c George Orwell's book provides a theory of power structures, equality and the very nature of human character. As a short, ten-chaptered essay, this book has made its mark on the communist and authoritarian societies with the cutting morals and the phrase “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”

No one dares question him due to the fact that they know they are uneducated. Napoleon continuously uses their lack of intelligence as an excuse as to why they are unable to remember the “original”, even though they have been altered, commandments. Throughout the novel, Squealer is used as Napoleon’s mouthpiece. Squealer makes Napoleon seem as though he is a heroic god. Squealer also tells the animals a handful of false statements so that they are satisfied with the answer. Such as when the milk went missing, and the animals eventually realised it was the pigs. “Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig” (35-36). By providing answers such as these, ones that require an intelligent mind to argue against it, they silenced the animals. Napoleon also utilizes a fear tactic. He cuts rations in half unless they work on Sundays. He also kills nine hens for not giving up their eggs. Those who object to anything he says are given the same punishment,

This is a topic I am extremely familiar with, I have done many research based projects on this topic. To start off I will explain what the topic is even about. First I will inform you about the “Humane treatment of animals” side. There is big controversy over how animals are treated in the factories that produce our food sold in grocery stores all over the world. These animals are given many added hormones, they are either underfed or overfed. The conditions in which they stay in are very poor. Most factories don’t have light for the animals, or ventilation. So as you can imagine the question arises, how could that be healthy to eat?

Napoleon exploit's the animals inferiority complex. When he changes the seven commandments to justify his actions, the animals are doubtful as their memories tell them that the seven commandments were different. However Squealer tells them that they are wrong and it is just a figment of their imagination. The animals think that if napoleon says so then he must be right and so let him get away with it.

“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and and from pig to man again, but already it was impossible to say which was which.” Orwell wrote Animal Farm as an allegory based on problems resulting from the Russian Revolution. In Animal Farm, George Orwell uses tone, characterization, and stylistic elements to show that people in power use manipulation to stay in power.

Humankind has always had a thirst for power; over its peers, environment and spiritual beliefs. To quench this thirst it has gone as far as genocide; but has often employed more subtle techniques, such as mind control. In today’s socio-economical and political worlds, mind control plays a key role in dictating tastes and lifestyles; as well as controlling political thoughts, views, and people’s understanding of the world. It is accomplished using various channels to condition people’s thinking. Publicity and advertisement campaigns saturate people with products, broadcasting over radio, and television which in itself is a prime example. Many religions employ mind control, conditioning their followers to obey without
