Animal Farm, By George Orwell

An author often writes a novel as a warning to mankind. In Animal Farm, George Orwell creates a world of animals that allegorically represent man. The intelligent pigs take advantage of the uneducated lower animals and take control of the farm. By showing the steady increase of the pigs' intellectual exploitation of the lower animals, Orwell warns the reader of the importance of an education.

George Orwell's novel, Animal Farm, was his very first piece of political writing. On the surface, this novel is about a group of miserable and mistreated farm animals that overthrow their neglectful owner; they take control of the farm. However, it too is a political allegory mainly focusing on the Russian Revolution. Orwell wrote Animal Farm in response to what had occurred in the Russian Revolution. Seeing how the people were being manipulated over for their freedom, he decided to write about these events through farm animals. The author's purpose for writing this novel is to warn his audience that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutly. Orwell's intent in fusing political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole, was truly

Orwell uses the allegory, Animal Farm, to present the story of The Russian Revolution and essentially express his opinions on the matter. By plainly exposing the unjust and corrupt system that is communism, Orwell is ultimately presenting his pessimistic view of human nature.

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

It can be thought that those who always put their people first are the most successful leaders. In the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, the pig Snowball adopts this style of leadership. His actions and intentions are always for the best of the group. Others may not use this leadership style like Napoleon another pig competing for the title of leader of Animal Farm. Napoleon instead uses his power to “lead the group”. He suppresses, persecutes, and uses fear to keep control of the masses and to eventually become the leader. Snowball may have the people’s vote but, he’s against Napoleon’s brute force. It may seem that power and only power is necessary to be a successful leader but, the actions of Napoleon and Snowball in Animal Farm prove this wrong.

For my first book report, I was assigned to read the book “Animal Farm” by George Orwell. I already had a general idea of what happens in the book, but I didn’t really know completely what it was about. I knew that the animals on the farm rebel against the farmer and the book demonstrated totalitarianism, but I didn’t know much more than that. Everyone I know that has read the book hates it, so I thought I wouldn’t like it either. I had never read any of George Orwell’s books before though, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect.

The novel Animal Farm is about a group of animals who rebel against the ranch owner and take over the ranch. However, once the animals were at last all equal, the pigs started to gradually make the farm a dictatorship by deceiving the other animals. The point where the "free" farm became just as atrocious as the original was when the pigs begun to walk on two legs, which was incredibly allegorical of the pigs becoming the evil humans that they swore never to become. Overall, the whole story was a metaphor of the Russian Revolution. Much like it occurred in Animal Farm, the visions of a better future dreamed about by Vladimir Lenin do not transpire. The philosophical goals and outcomes of communist societies are drastically incongruent because humankind is avaricious. Once absolute power is given to a person that does not genuinely believe in the purpose, that person often becomes corrupt. In the case of Animal Farm, the pigs started to relish the luxuries of humans and kept wanting more. To entirely understand why the philosophical goals and outcomes of communist societies are drastically different, one must first understand the reasons for the original development of socialist and communist philosophy in Europe, the events that were impetus behind fundamental change in Russia, and the social, political, economic, and cultural factors which cause the practices of newly formed political systems to deviate from purist philosophy. The reasons for the original development of

“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.

A perfect society. Something we long and hope for, and work towards to achieve for our future. We picture this society in many different ways, including things like equality, no poverty, and everyone being taken care of among many things. However, we have not become this perfect society yet. This makes you start to wonder, what is preventing this perfect society that we all share a vision of? The perfect society would contain things like equality, happiness, and unity. However, these things are counteracted by greediness, other’s misery, and the fight for power.

Tyranny has always been present in human history from Joseph Stalin to Adolf Hitler they have all taken advantage of the public and used them to their own advantage and personal needs. In the story Animal Farm by George Orwell this tyrannical, totalitarian, and corrupt form of government is seen. In the story the tired animals organize a rebellion against their owner and drive him out. They create their own government, with the pigs assuming control. But the corrupt pigs take advantage of this power entrusted to them, and oppress the animal for their own benefit. Even though the pigs abused the power they had, The naive and gullible animals themselves were the ones responsible for the pigs’ quick rise to power and control because the animals were tricked into supporting the pigs evil plans, they were too braindead to organize and execute a rebellion even after they realized the pigs were up to no good, and they were so foolish that they even supported the expulsion of snowball, the only good pig that worked for the good of the other animals.

The main purpose of satire is to attack, and intensely criticise the target subject. This is superbly carried out in the classic piece of satire, Animal Farm. The main targets at the brunt of this political satire are the society that was created in Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, and the leaders involved in it. George Orwell successfully condemns these targets through satirical techniques such as irony, fable, and allegory. The immediate object of attack in Orwell's political satire is the society that was created in Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. The events narrated in Animal Farm obviously and continuously refer to events in another story, the history of the Russian Revolution. In other words, Animal

George Orwell includes a strong message in his novel Animal Farm that is easily recognizable. Orwell’s Animal Farm focuses on two primary problems that were not only prominent in his WWII society, but also posed as reoccurring issues in all societies past and present. Orwell’s novel delivers a strong political message about class structure and oppression from the patriarchal society through an allegory of a farm that closely resembles the Soviet Union.
