Animal Farm Comparative Essay

The books Anthem by Ayn Rand and Animal Farm by George Orwell are both written about dystopias, or the most imperfect and dismal society. Both authors write about humans –or animals- failing to create a utopia or perfect society. Though both authors use different points of view, language style, and voice the same theme is expressed: a perfect society where everyone is equal cannot exist.

When the pigs gain power they start to organize committees throughout the farm. They also position the animals for labor work and basically act as a congress. This allows them to be passive making others do all of the work. They have a wide variety of knowledge to brainwash the animals into thinking the

Two individuals may seem similar in appearance and outward self but it’s the inner character and diverse qualities of a person that distinguishes between two people. Many have the notion to think that since two people have the same outward identity then both will get along and be the best of friends, however, this is where the dilemma arises. George Orwell, an author of Animal Farm writes a tale about two pigs by the name of Snowball and Napoleon and how their bond destroys through disagreements and jealously towards each other which later on builds an eruption on the farm. Animal Farm is an allegory of the Russian Revolution that occurred between 1905 and lasted up to 1917 due to the controversies that occurred between the Bolsheviks

Napoleon, the leader of all the animals of the Rebellion, can be compared and contrasted with Big Brother, the leader of all the people of 1984. Both Big Brother and Napoleon show the qualities of a cruel ruler. Similar to Big Brother, Napoleon is a secretive plotter who works behind the scenes rather than openly. However, unlike Napoleon, Big Brother periodically appears on the television screen. Napoleon and Big Brother both work continually to weaken their rivals, whether it is by removing Snowball or eliminate Rutherford. Both place importance on complicated ceremonies and parades to prevent their workers from thinking about their schemes. Napoleon’s control over animal farm is not as powerful as Big Brother's

Although there are a few differences between Animal Farm and the Holocaust, my dystopian novel based off of the Russian revolution compared to the entirety of the Holocaust, are very similar in many different ways. Both showed terrible, worst case scenarios, hoping to make a form of a "perfect society" through totalitarian control. A few ways they were similar include, having a dictatorial leadership, murdering large masses of innocent people, and the special treatment to a specific group.

Eric Blair wrote “The Animal Farm” during 1945, which he writes about a dystopian society with animals. He makes connections to real world problems throughout the story. He refers to animals being human by making connections by forming a government, because it's in human nature to form any type of government. In this case, the animals form a democracy from the commandments they put in their constitution; with all the corruption it mimics a communist government. The corruption deals with the leaders taking advantage of the commandments by overriding them while the other animals have to obey them. The main characters were Napoleon, Snowball, Boxer, and Squealer which can be connected to real world leading figures. The author also put in

In this science-fiction novel, the mood in the beginning, which is one of discovery as David is discovering society and his surroundings, shifts into one of panic and suspense as David and the group of telepaths evade society, and finally into one of relief and wonder at the end of the novel when the “Sealand” woman rescues David, his sister and his cousin. The moods in this novel add suspense, mystery, intrigue and adventure to the storyline, which is hence likely to please more readers. The novel could be perceived as a satire, satirizing our society because in our history, some groups of human beings have indeed reacted negatively to difference and diversity and persecuted them, resulting often in genocides as in the Holocaust, which killed approximately 6 million Jews. In the fictive, allegoric novel Animal Farm, which was written by George Orwell and published by Penguin Books in 1945, farm animals rebel against their owner, Mr. Jones, and take control over their farm and attempt to survive independently from humankind. The animals of the farm, which is run by the pigs since they are the brightest animals, set and determine particular conditions and the “Animalism” concept, which establishes equality and better life conditions among animals. Throughout the novel, the parity and fairness among the animals of

However, the pigs had a change in mind. They decided to be leaders of the farm because they believed they were the smartest. Nonetheless, they unknowingly become “human”. This is where the quote comes into play. The pigs start to forget how Jones acted and started to become Jones but in animal form. They even changed all the commandments to satisfy all their needs. They turned “No animal can sleep in a bed,” to “No animal can sleep in a bed with sheets.” And “No animal can drink alcohol,” to “No animal can drink alcohol to excess,” and so on and so forth. This just shows that the pigs did not want to break the seven commandments so instead, they changed it to make it seem like they are doing nothing

My theme for the story Animal Farm by Greg Orwell is how power can lead to corruption and dictatorship/oppression. I chose this theme because it is very prominent throughout the story. In the story a few examples of this were as follows: Napoleon giving power to the pigs and terrorizing the other animals and creating new laws such as “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.” which displays how the pigs are oppressing the animals by carrying whips around to intimidate them, working them on the bare minimal amount of food they need to not expire, and violating all of the 7 Animalia commandments without remorse. This connects to my claim by displaying how they were being dictators due to the other animals having no say in

In George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm, a major turning point in the novel was when Napoleon used his secret police force, his dogs, to exile Snowball. Snowball had previously been trying to improve the animal’s lives for the future by building a windmill. After Snowball was exiled, Napoleon became leader and everything immediately went amiss. Orwell stated that: "Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer- except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs" (p.86). In other words, no one was benefiting from the animal’s labours apart from the pigs and the dogs because the amount of authority the dogs and the pigs, especially Napoleon had, was corrupt. Frighteningly, if Snowball had been

In ANIMAL FARM, Orwell shows how both the leaders and the followers in a society can act in ways that destroy freedom and equality. Choose one leader and one follower from the novel and explain how the behavior of each contributes to the loss of freedom and equality on Animal Farm.

1984 and Animal farm are acutely similar books. They both revolve around a dictatorship government. There are two main dictators in these stories, Big Brother and Napoleon. The pigs are aggressive and big brother is always watching what the people do. In these novels the leaders start out with using the ruling to use it for good but then focus on corruption of power that Napoleon and Big Brother use it for the worse and not the good. 1984 and Animal farm the totalitarian governments used dehumanizing tactics like using television to hypnotize the animals, take away rights and using fear to show the people and animals that the government has the power.

Not every leader is power hungry. Some leaders are good with power but others can never get enough. They are never satisfied with how much power they have. They want more and more, no matter the sacrifice . In William Golding's Lord of the Flies and George Orwell's Animal Farm, secondary characters, who play the roles of spokesmen, enforcers, and followers, bolster the power of the leaders, there by ensuring the leaders' success.

What is the definition of a good novel? Opinions on this question may differ, but there are many things that good novels have in common. Most importantly, the reader must enjoy the novel. When I use the word enjoy, I don’t necessarily mean that it should make the reader ‘happy’ or ‘joyful’. The novel should give the reader a valuable or worthwhile experience. Many good novels often address topics that relate to our own reality. In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, one of the main focuses is on power and corruption.

Animal Farm is a novel by George Orwell. It is an allegory in which animals play the roles of Russian revolutionists, and overthrow the human owners of the farm.

This story describes how a society’s ideologies can be manipulated by those in political power, to cause corruption by those in leadership.
