Essay about Animal Farm, by George Orwell

One way Napoleon took control of Animal Farm was by Ideology. By using Ideology to take control, he used the Seven Commandments. The Seven Commandments were seven rules that the animals had to live by. The Seven Commandments were reduced to two legs good, four legs bad. After seeing Squealer lying in the

One night, all the animals of Mr. Jones’ farm, gather together in the barn to listen to Old Major, the pig, tell them about a dream he had, in which no animal had to live under the reign of human owners which would happen after a large rebellion against the people that treated them as slaves. After his death, which occurred only three nights after that meeting, the rest of the animals spent months working on plans to make the rebellion that Old Major had spoken of, into a reality. In the beginning the pigs, particularly Snowball and Napoleon, which had naturally become the leaders, faced difficulties convincing the other animals that this was the right thing to do.

Mr. Jones, the farmer, goes to sleep drunk one night when the most respected animal calls a meeting. Major, as the pig is called, waits until everyone is settled to begin describing the gist of the dream he had had the night before. He tells them that their lives are much harder than they need be. The only reason why they aren’t happy is that they must deal with humans. He says humans are useless and profit off everyone else’s hard work. Unless they rebel, their lives and those of their children will never get better. The group decides that all four-legged or winged animals are friends and will not be harmed when they eventually rebel. Then, Major sings a lively old song that everyone immediately loves, Beasts of England, but they all

One dark, misty night on Manor farm, the pigs were partying. They partied in the Jones house with Mr. Pilkington Napolean didn’t let any other animals into the house besides the pigs were so fat they couldn’t stand on two feet, they had to crawl. On the other hand the other animals were locked up in the barn and very mistreated; they were only fed leftover whiskey, milk, and apples.

At the start of the story, the animals of Manor Farm begin to comprehend that their means of existence is to slave away to the needs of Mr. Jones or man in general. They then make a successful attempt to take over the farm in a rebellion. However, later on in the story they were able to slip back into the grasp of oppression since the pigs become corrupt due to their high position of power in the farm. The pigs are so blinded by greed that they don’t even bother to see how much the animals are suffering. At the end, the pigs are now the new Mr. Jones and so closely resemble man that the rest of the animals cannot even tell the difference between them. Showing the reader that one of the main themes that Animal Farm contains is the abuse of power with language.

There are several themes in Animal Farm, some including: Leadership and corruption, control of naïve working class, lies and deception, and dreams and hopes. The main themes in Animal Farm leadership and corruption. Animal Farm portrays the history of the Russian Revolution by retelling the development of communism. In the novel, by overthrowing Mr. Jones, the animals give the power to the pigs who take complete control of the farm. The struggle for superiority between Leon Trotsky, a Russian revolutionary, and Stalin, a Soviet statesman, is portrayed by the rivalry between the pigs, Napoleon and Snowball. In both cases, the less powerful one, Trotsky and Snowball, is eliminated by the more superior one, Stalin and Napoleon. Stalin's rule

Told in third person by an all-knowing narrator, "Animal Farm" takes place on an English farm. The oldest pig on the farm, Old Major, calls for a clandestine meeting of all animals. He shares with them his dreams about a revolution against Mr. Jones, the farm owner. Animal Farm has transcended to its original text and making it relevant to readers by allowing them to read about an actual revolution rather than a fictional revolution.

Mr Jones is the owner of Manor Farm and a farmer, but afterwards he loses his money in a lawsuit, drinks excessively. His dishonest men forget to feed the animals. So, the animals who are activated hardly hate him and attempt a Rebellion. He is kicked out from the farm by his persistent animals who reign there.

Taking place on an English farm initially known as Manor Farm, the story begins at night, when Mr. Jones makes his way to bed. As the animals gather together, an elderly boar, Old Major, tells his tale of a strange dream he had, in which humankind cease to exist. He brings forth the idea of Rebellion, stating that animals will one day overthrow the human race, and lays out the foundation of what will later be known as ‘Principles of Animalism’. He passes soon after, and though the date of the Rebellion was never given, animals begin to prepare, the pigs taking the lead. The Rebellion occurs in June, when the animals are angered from being unfed, taking action and breaking the feed bin for food. This captures the attention of Mr. Jones and his men, bringing out their whips, only to be “butted and kicked from all sides” by the animals, ultimately driven out of the farm, along with Mrs. Jones. Animals take charge of the farm, stripping themselves of their ribbons, and renaming the farm, Animal Farm. It is then revealed that the pigs had spent the past three months teaching themselves to be literate, as well as reduce the principles of Animalism to Seven Commandments, which was to be inscribed on the wall and followed by all animals. Two of the pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, ‘lead’ the other animals, every animal putting in effort to harvest, with the exception of the pigs, “[who] did not actually work, but directed and supervised the others.” The animals continued to work, but were now happy, for they were working for themselves, and all were equal. However, the pigs are constantly praised at, hinting that they thought themselves better than the rest. Snowball and Napoleon constantly opposed each other’s opinions, Snowball organizing

Mr. Jones of Manor Farm is so apathetic and tipsy that one day he neglects to sustain his animals. The resulting insubordination under the authority of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball prompts the creatures assuming control over the homestead. Vowing to wipe out the horrible imbalances of the farmstead, the renamed Animal Farm is sorted out to profit all

Mr. Jones represents the abusive, unjust communist power. He would represent Nicholas II during the Russian revolution. Nicholas II, who led a “Bloody Government” was taken over by the Bolshevik part. We can see that the animals represent the Bolshevik party and Mr. Jones as the one who gets overthrown. During the Russian revolution, Nicholas II killed anyone who got in his way, which is why his government was described “bloody”. This, of course upset the citizens which is why they revolted as a whole. Mr. Jones slaughtered the animals and restricted them from freedom. With encouragement from Old Major’s speech, the animals revolted against Mr. Jones’s “government”.

In reading Animal Farm the primary focus was on the animal’s uprising due to their displeasure in how they were being treated by the by the owner Mr. Jones and the hands. They worked all day tilling the land and was under fed and whipped and slaughtered. The animals had resolved themselves to believe this was their destiny until Major and old pig, informed them of the possibilities of rebellion by the animals. Major was able to influence the animals of the possibility of rebellion from their present state, through a story and then taught them a song Beast of England. The words of this song inspired the animals. The thoughts of rebellion were born. Unfortunately, Major died before he could see the rebellion come to fruition.

Animal Farm begins with Old Major telling his fellow animals about his dream in which he envisions a farm with no humans. The speech instills a drive within the animal community to rise and overthrow Mr. Jones, the farm owner. After the farmer is successfully removed and Old Major dies, the animals find themselves in a leaderless state. Three pigs, Napoleon, Snowball, and Squealer, take it upon

The story begins with old major, a boar, who tells the animals of manor farm, his dream of freedom and life without humans. He makes a warning to them of a rebellion. Saying they should never accept any human leaders. Or allow humans to tyrannize over

In the beginning of the book, the farm’s owner, Mr.Jones comes home and goes straight to bed. Knowing that they are safe to congregate, the animals meet in the barn, listening to a lecture from a pig named Old Major. He tells his comrades that he had a dream in which they were free from humans, and all animals were equal. He also taught them a song about animals becoming free
