Animal Farm Animal Control

The novel clearly reiterates the notion that more people conform than rebel when confronted with authoritarian control. The animals in the novel are divided into two categories. Those who have knowledge and therefore power, and those who lack knowledge and therefore are submissive. The main difference is that the submissive animals such as the horses and sheep represent the people that chose to stay uneducated, as it is a much less difficult pathway. They chose this because knowing consequences creates threatening actions against the livelihood of the animals. Despite the animals suffering from violence, poor conditions, and being overworked, they continue to conform as it becomes an easier lifestyle for them. The repetition of the lines “Napoleon is always right” and “I will work harder” showcases how the farm animals follow the routine of others and resign to conformity as their means of life, for it is an easier, simpler outlook to life for them. The idea of being an outlier and having a voice is forsaken by the animals, as the narrative evolves they witness more and more unruly acts of behaviour from the pigs, who are controlling the farm. The emotive language used within the line “Silent and terrified, the animals crept back into the barn” effectively demonstrate how a wave of melancholic and frightened emotions flood through the farm animals, creating a sense of compliance within. The use of threatening tone within the lines “At this there was a terrible baying sound outside, and nine enormous dogs wearing

The book Animal Farm by George Orwell, is an allegory for the Russian Revolution. One allegory can be seen through Czar Nicholas II, who represents Mr.Jones. In Animal Farm the animals defeat and overthrow Mr.Jones, a bad farmer who mistreats his animals. The animals try to recover from the horrible reign of Mr.Jones, and the story is about how they live after overthrowing the farmer. Czar Nicholas II and Mr.Jones both struggled with their subjects and eventually were not fit to be a leader anymore so lost the right.

“Do not let the power of fear control us, comrades. Together without fear, we’ve conquered so much! Let us not stop now!” Squealer said, trying to calm the animals. Throughout the book, Animal Farm by George Orwell, the animals live in constant fear, Jones hurt and manipulated the animals while he was in power. Once he was banished the animals still felt a deep fear, Napoleon, who had banished Snowball, killed animals for plotting against him, and changing the seven commandments time and time again, brought the fear back to the animals.

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.

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.”

Napoleon threatens the animals with death if they are to disobey his rulings. “He ordered the hen’s rations to be stopped and decreed that any animal giving so much as a grain of corn to a hen should be punished by death” (76). By introducing the concept of death and punishment, he frightens the animals into listening to his decree. In addition, Napoleon also interrogates the animals on the farm. “Surely none of you wishes to see Jones back?” (67). This rhetorical question is repeatedly asked as one of Napoleon’s tactics to make the animals remember the previous conditions that took place on Manor Farm. He often uses this intimidating question to make them believe that they could always return to how things are. *Moreover, Napoleon declares stringent orders among the animals. “Napoleon had demanded whether any animal had anything to confess” (84). He uses forceful language to language to demoralize the animals until they confess their wrongdoings. Napoleon intimidates the animals by threatening them with death, repeatedly asking frightening questions, and is very demanding, all in order to manipulate the animals on the

George Orwell’s Animal Farm is reflective of Russia during Joseph Stalin’s tyrannical ruling. The story’s antagonist Napoleon leads the Rebellion with Snowball. Once Napoleon overthrows Snowball, he deceives and manipulates the other animals with promise of a life free of restraint and human influence. After gaining their trust, Napoleon capitalizes on the animals’ vulnerabilities and uses his power to better the circumstances of the pigs rather than all animals. Although he initially presents himself as a democratic head, his leadership tactics are that of a dictator. Through examining the syntax and diction characteristic of Orwell’s writing, one can gain a better understanding of the novel’s sociopolitical theme.

This became evident that there was a mutual respect and honour when the other Animals put their lives on the line at the battle of cowshed to protect the vision of Animal Farm. “In very little the animals had destroyed everything that reminded them of Mr. Jones. Napoleon then led them back to the shed and served them a double ration” This quote from the book is a reminder that Napoleon only helps those from whom he can benefit. Once Napoleon saw the general population was no longer useful to him personally he minimized contact with them, this happened after Napoleon chased Snowball out, he then annexed Sunday meetings. Which means that the moment the animals no longer agreed with him he cut them out of the equation and took on a roll as a dictator. The book best shows this change when Squealer is justifying Napoleon’s cancelation of Sunday meetings. “‘Comrades’ he said ‘I trust that every animal here appreciates the sacrifice that Comrade Napoleon has made in taking this extra labor upon himself. Do not imagine, comrades that leadership is pleasure! On the contrary, it is a deep a heavy

This essay will explore the situations and ideas shown throughout this novel and if they have a deeper meaning behind them. This will show the political allusions in Animal Farm shown through the characters of Mr. Jones, Napoleon, and Squealer. The novel starts with a drunken farmer named Mr. Jones, who is the overseer of the Manor Farm. The animals in the farm feel that Mr. Jones mistreats them by exploiting them for eggs milk and other forms of produce. In this way, Mr. Jones would be compared to Czar Nicholas II who overthrown by Bolshevik and liberal revolutionaries.

George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm reflects society so much it’s scary. Napoleon the pig is leading the farm after the expulsion of Mr. Jones, the farm’s owner. At first Napoleon was a strong leader, but then he let power and success go to his head, and day by day he became more like Jones. Animal Farm reflects how society is today due to the fact it illustrates: selfishness, cluelessness, and lying. First and foremost, Napoleon’s selfishness was the downfall of animal farm.

Without a doubt, the animals believed him, fearing the farmer’s return. But little did they know, they were better off with Jones than their current leader Napoleon. Furthermore, at the end of the book, all the seven commandments were changed to one: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” By doing that, Napoleon was manipulating his words and was leading the animals into thinking that even after all that was done to them, they were still all equal, which was, of course, not the case. Unlike the pigs, the other animals were not intelligent, and Napoleon took

The story of Animal Farm is just not the one of animals living on an ordinary farm. Rather, the tale of Napoleon coming to rule while causing violence and leading the animals. George Orwell, symbolizes Napoleon as Stalin. He was admired by his followers, but Stalin committed cruel actions against his people similar, to Napoleon the pig from Animal Farm. As Animal Farm encounters the leadership of Napoleon he murders animals who disagree with him or innocent animals who he feels that they aren’t useful similar to Stalin who would murder his own people because he felt that they weren’t necessary.

When the operator would get a call about animal abuse what do you think they would do? They would sometimes hand the information over to animal control, or they would just completely ignore it, and just let it go. Knezevich clearly said: “If there were an animal crime we would just send it over to animal control or ignore it” (1). Although animal control is the main base for helping out abused and neglected animals sometimes they would never be able to help the animal out and they would have to suffer. They should never ignore and always pay close attention to all cases they get and not just worry about certain ones.

The treatment Jones offered the animals is less caring in the farm, as Jones often forgot about the animals. Furthermore, Jones Never quite cared for the animals, “Mr. Jones, of the manor farm, had locked the hen-houses for the night but was too drunk to remember to shut the popholes” (3). The quotes shows that Mr. Jones didn’t care about the animals, and found drinking to be more important than caring for the animals, otherwise Mr. Jones little care for the animals wouldn’t have allowed any meetings to be held for the animals to rebel. Both Jones and Napoleon’s treatment against the animals showed little fear, but Napoleon truly came forward to push down the animals into

In the satiric novel entitled Animal Farm by George Orwell, the character Napoleon represents hitler, who somewhat leads the rebellion against against farmer Jones to gain freedom. However, the utopia that the animals fought for was not realized and they are manipulated by the pigs, inturn, they become the thing they hate the most. Napoleon is dishonoring, narcissistic, and deceiving. He is a leader, but he didn’t know how to lead a society equally without having all the animals equal.
