Animal Farm By George Orwell

Imagine you were an animal who was kind and hard working but was neglected by your owners. How would that make you feel? The animals in George Orwell’s Animal Farm, a satirical novel written about communist Russia, felt sad and neglected because their owners did not treat them with respect. The big pig named Old Major puts the idea in the animals head that they are not being treated poorly and they should do something about it. After Old Major dies, the animals overthrow Farmer Jones. Once the animals are on their own, the pigs take over and become the leaders. They create a new form of government which is called “Animalism” where all the animals are equal. At first the animals are happy but as time progresses the pigs start abusing their power and start acting like humans. The pigs and in particular Napoleon do not care about the well being of the other animals. Then they start stealing all the milk, and rewriting the history to suit themselves. In addition, the pigs order alcohol have parties, and they use the farm for their own selfish reasons and don't care about the other animals. Animal farm represents the sad results of a failed utopia, just as it happened over and over in history. Orwell uses symbolism, Irony, modern fable, and character foil to add richness and depth to the fable.

Old Major, a prize-winning boar, gathers the animals of the Manor Farm for a meeting in the big barn. He tells them of a dream he has had in which all animals live together with no human beings to oppress or control them. He tells the animals that they must work toward such a paradise and teaches them a song called “Beasts of England,” in which his dream vision is lyrically described. The animals greet Major’s vision with great enthusiasm. When he dies only three nights after the meeting, three younger pigs, Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer formulate his main principles into a philosophy called Animalism. Late one

The ninety-five page novella, Animal Farm, written by George Orwell. Aimed at teenagers and adults, it cleverly shows the flaws within society and how we will never change. This timeless classic was converted into an hour and ten minute long film (in 1954) which is suitable and supposedly appealing to young children.

On a chilly Autumn evening, my cousins and I were roaming around the Promenade Mall. We had been talking about where we would all like to travel to in the future with excitement but that had been until our attention was caught by a younger girl. We had noticed as we walked closer that two older girls had been making fun of her appearance. This greatly bothered us. We viewed bullying as as something that no one should have to tolerate. Immediately, we walked up to the girls. I stood in front of the younger girl pushing her back with my arm to assure them that they should back off or else they would have a major problem. My cousins and I went straight to telling her off on how what they were saying to the younger girl was wrong and how they should use empathy. The girls reacted just as how I expected, frightened. After around 45 seconds of doing so, we walked away with a smirk on our faces and invited the younger girl to join us as we went on shopping. Always stand up for what you believe in. It is better to stand out by doing the right thing than to do nothing and blend with the crowd. In Animal Farm written by George Orwell, the animals in the manor farm were being mistreated. They decided to take charge and to have a rebellion for they knew that they way Mr. Jones was treating them was wrong. The animals later created their own commandments but later they find out that holding all of the power to yourself leads to negative outcomes.

Being deceived is not something noticed on first glance; small, seemingly harmless steps with perfectly reasonable explanations are taken first. Through the oppression and control of the non-pigs in Animal Farm, George Orwell warns that the negative results that come from ignorance are the likeliness of being deceived, unawareness of social change, and people’s inability to objectively judge their situation.

The novel Animal Farm by George Orwell and the film ‘Chocolat’ by Lasse Halstrom are representations of the composer’s context and reflect the social and political concerns of their era. Although reflections of vastly different contexts both texts encourage the responder to question the role and responsibility of society in relation to the individual. Regardless of nature of the institution there is the expectation that needs of the individual will be met and their autonomy and independence will be respected and maintained. The novel and film examine the impact on the individual when confronted with the rigid ideologies of communism and a theocracy. The setting of Animal Farm and the French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes function as a

In Animal Farm by George Orwell, when Old Major, a decidedly respected old pig, is telling the animals on the farm about what humans will eventually do to them, he claims “‘To that horror we all must come … Jones will sell you to the knacker, who will cut your throat and boil you down for the foxhounds. As for the dogs, when they grow old and toothless, Jones ties a brick round their necks and drowns them in the nearest pond.’” (Orwell). His statement emphasizes on the lack of justice and liberty for the animals in the farm. As the animals trust Old Major, they heed his words and act upon it for the better. For a society to function successfully, the most important values are justice, liberty, and trust because they maintain an orderly and

The story took place on a imaginary farm owned by Mr. Jones somewhere in England where a respected pig named Old Major assembled the farm animals to tell them about a dream he recently had in which all animals lived together in harmony without humans beings to oppress them. He taught them a song called “Beast of England” in which his dream is lyrically described. The animals greet Old Major visions with great enthusiasm. Unfortunately Old Major died three days later, but three young pigs named Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer formulate his vision into a philosophy called animalism.

The February Revolution actually began March 8th, 1917 or February 23 according to the Julian calendar that Russia used during that time period. Joseph Stalin was appointed soon after to serve on the Central Committee of the Bolshevik party in 1912 by Lenin who was placed in exile in Switzerland. Stalin became the dictator of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (1929-53) (Vail 120). Everyone would soon realize that Stalin ruled by terror with many of his own citizen’s deaths during his brutal supremacy. After Lenin’s death Stalin would have potential enemies executed or sent to labor camps.

Orwell depicted the non-utopia of the future and the perils it involves in one of the post powerful warnings ever issued against the dangers of a totalitarian society.

It starts because one of the animals, a pig called Old Major, dreamt of equality between the animals, and a changed society between themselves and Mr Jones, the farmer in charge of the farm and its animals. “This single farm of ours could support a dozen horses, twenty cows and hundreds of sheep- and all of them living in comfort and dignity that are now almost behind our imagining.” This shows that the animals did not have a good life before the revolution, and that they were aiming for a fair society where they all lived in equality and comfort. This is similar to the Russian Revolution, where the Russian people had a dream of not living in a country where they were suffering and divided into rich and poor. Because all of the animals agreed and fight as one unit, “Comrades”, it is clear that they were all mistreated and were upset with their current position. George Orwell showed in Animal Farm that all revolutions start with good intentions, but do not always end up as the original

The question, “Who is at fault?” is one asked many times throughout history. It can be put into many scenarios, like this one, where it is questioned whether the pigs or the animals are at fault for the dystopian characteristics on Animal Farm. Animal Farm by George Orwell is a political satire of Communist Russia, the pigs acting as the government and the animals acting as the citizens. The pigs pushed the animals into following them using fear, force, and made-up statistics, and also by telling them that if they didn’t do as they say, Jones or Snowball would return. Also, the sheep were manipulated to constantly bleat “Four legs good, two legs bad!” (Orwell 29) whenever the other animals were in doubt. Finally, the pigs used the faith

Oftentimes, one may look up to the government for protection, information, or guidance. On the contrary, one may also rebel against the government for the overreaching of the private rights of a citizen. George Orwell’s novels Animal Farm and 1984 are great examples of a totalitarian government and how they are able to manipulate the citizens as well as overreach the boundaries of privacy. In 1984, Winston Smith lives in a society run by a dictatorship government named INGSOC. INGSOC is broken into two parts, the inner party and outer party. The two parties are broken into four different ministries: The Ministry of Truth, who is in charge of news, entertainment, and education; the Ministry of Peace, who is concerned with war; the Ministry of

“All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.” In George Orwell’s novel, Animal Farm, farm animals drive out their farmer and live in an environment where all animals are equal. However, the pigs, the smartest animals on the farm, end up taking over the farm and controlling all the animals. They trick the animals into believing they are doing everything for the benefit of the farm, when in reality they are doing it for themselves. The famous quote mentioned in this novel not only explains a scene in the book; it also shows the Orwell’s true purpose for writing the story: his hatred towards communism and Stalin’s rule. An author shows his or her purpose through the text’s hidden meanings, the structure of the text, the sequence of events, and the diction of the text.
