Book Report on George Orwell's Animal Farm

Animal Farm a story of rebellion and revolution. In the Manor Farm the animals decide that they are going to free themselves from their human owners and control the farm themselves. The pigs proved to be the most clever of the animals of the farm so they assumed the main leadership positions. However, Napoleon and Snowball had completely different ideals on how the farm should be run so they became the main competators for control. In the end, Napoleon's brute force using his attack dogs to chase Snowball

Although the animals at Manor Farm had a revolution they quickly fell right back into tyranny which led to loss of freedom and equality. After Mr. Jones was expelled two pigs Snowball and Napoleon became the leaders of the farm. Soon after the revolution Napolean expelled Snowball! Unfortunately Napoleon did not have the animal’s best interest at heart. “Three hens who had been the ringleaders in the attempted rebellion over the eggs now came forward and stated that snowball had appeared to them in a dream, and incited them to disobey Napoleon's orders. They too were slain on the spot.” When the animals expelled Mr. Jones they

The animals of Manor Farm are irate and frustrated under Mr. Jones, Old Major starts the idea of a revolution by overthrowing the incompetent leader of Manor’s Farm and the

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.

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

He tells the animals that building the windmill was his idea all along and they needed to build it. The animals are now working harder than they ever have before, including Sundays. They are told that Sundays were voluntary, but if they didn’t work their rations would be cut in half. Since so much time is spent building the windmill, the crops are not successful and there is a shortage of food. The pigs move into the farmhouse and sleep in the beds and eat off the china. Napoleon starts to trade hay and sell the hen’s eggs with local farms. The hen’s rebel, but are eventually starved into submission. Whenever, things go wrong on the farm, the pigs blame it all on Snowball who Napoleon claims is a traitor. The animals are hungry and tired; some of them start to question the changes on the farm. Napoleon calls the animals to a meeting and has his dogs brutally kill any animals he feels are traitors. The animals are shocked and start singing the rebellion song “Beast of England” but Squealer quickly silences them, saying the rebellion is now complete with the execution of the traitors. The next day some of the smarter animals thought to check the commandments. The sixth commandment now reads, “No animal shall kill other animals without cause” (p.72). The animals are working even harder on the farm, especially Boxer. Eventually, Boxer

In George Orwell’s, Animal Farm, just like many other novels, has multiple themes that arise. This novel is in relation to Orwell’s experience in Spain with Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union, who gained control of the Spanish government (Orwell 5). It begins with the rebellion that the farm animals plan in order to outthrow Mr. Jones, the farmer in charge of Manor Farm. Old Major was the pig that began the idea to start this movement. Every animal admired Major and his incredible knowledge. Once Major passes away, they take action by running Mr. Jones out of his farm and claim it as theirs. They all rejoice and begin to build a community where all animals were equal and had to put their part. All the animals lived in harmony,

Animal Farm, a satirical novel by George Orwell, tells a fictional story of farm animals that takes control of Manor Farm after revolting against their original owner, Mr. Jones. At first, the animals all believe in a communistic ideology called “Animalism”. From the beginning, all of the animals are viewed as having their own respective strengths and weaknesses. Pigs, especially, were agreed upon being the most intelligent animal on the farm. Three pigs, Napoleon, Snowball, and Squealer, are the most vocal of the pigs.

Animal farm is a novel written by George Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair) about the Russian revolution of 1917 and the following Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. This book depicts animals as humans, following the style of many older fables. Animal Farm could be read by many ages. It relates to historical figures without directly referencing them. As the story begins, it describes a farm where the animals are not treated fairly by humans and they believe that it is time for change.

In the beginning Snowball try’s to teach the animals reading and writing, there is lots of food and the farm runs great. The pigs put themselves in the position of a leader and set aside special food rations for their personal health. Napoleon takes the pups from the dogs and trains them privately for his secret police

In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, the animal’s take over the farm and develop their own independent society. The animals develop their own society because they are being mistreated by the farmer. They manage the farm by themselves and establish tranquility, until some animals desire greed and power more than the others. The representation of animals taking over the farm relates to communism during Orwell’s life.

? All animals are equal. The animals then proceed to the hay fields, where they make it their goal to get the harvest done faster than the humans ever could. Each animal does his or her share of the harvest, relative to his or her strength and size. Boxer, one of two carthorses on the farm and certainly the strongest animal, does most of the work, and the animals are able to finish the harvest in two days less time than the humans normally took. Within the first year of the animals’ revolution on the farm (which they had proceeded to name “Animal Farm';), news had spread to the neighboring areas, and Snowball and Napoleon send out groups of pigeons to spread the principles of Animalism. Not long after, however, one of these flights of birds spy a group of humans, led by Jones, coming down the path leading to Animal Farm. The pigs, which had been prepared for such a situation, get everyone to their posts, and Snowball sends out a group of pigeons to harass the humans as the other animals get ready for a larger attack. Then, the geese and sheep, led by Snowball, peck and ram the legs of the humans. Snowball orders this group to retreat, however, and the humans, thinking that the animals are retreating, begin to shout with joy. As they move further into the farm, the rest of the animals, including the three horses, come out of their hiding places, and successfully fight the humans off. Over the next few months, the animals hold

In Animal Farm, the author portrays the evil and backstabbing leaders and the oppressed victims themselves. There are many tales of traitorous deceit in the novel. The windmill was a treacherous plan from the start. All crafted by the manipulative brains of the pigs. And it wasn’t too hard to trick the gullible and loyal workforce either. When the ruler Napoleon starts trading with the neighboring farms the situation went all downhill. Blood is drawn and beloved friends die. By the end of the novel, every rule that the animals put in the Seven Commandments, were broken by the malicious pigs. In Animal Farm by George Orwell, it shows how the abuse of power can bring the worst out in all of us, no matter how cunning, smart, or strong, which is why conflicts arose with the windmill, Napoleon’s trade with neighboring farms, and the Seven Commandments.

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

The rebellion was to escape from people and their cruel ways, but can they escape the death-grip of their own kind? The animals of animal farms are mistreated and have no rights. Mr and Mrs. Jones were the owners of Manor Farm, the human oppressors, and authoritarians of the animals. The animals rebel against the Jones and take over the farm. They create a utopian society for themselves, but the utopia quickly turns into a dystopia when the pigs take control of the farm. In many ways, Animal Farm is a complete allegorical / fable –like retelling of the founding of the Soviet Union, complete with a rebellion and eventual installation of a dictator. Like the ideological battle that was raged in Russia between the classes, the one that is played out in this novel have many of the same themes, including an initial push to strengthen the working class, a strong beginning movement of nationalism and unity, a series of successful efforts to topple the ruling authority (Mr. Jones), all followed by a complete totalitarian takeover by a dictator who is a hypocrite and goes back on many of the promises he made at the height of the revolutionary action.
