Declaration of Independence from My Parents

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.

Animal Farm begins on Manor Farm, where overworked, tired, and hungry animals are unhappy in the conditions that they are in, but when an old boar named Old Major introduces the idea of a rebellion and encourages the animals to take control over the farm, the animals begin an uprising against the humans, taking control over the land and renaming the farm “Animal Farm.” However, greedy and corrupt leaders rise to power and turn a once prosperous farm, into a nightmare. In Animal Farm, George Orwell asserts the idea that absolute power results in corruption. Napoleon and the other pigs, interested in remaining superior, persuades the other animals by using intimidation and emotional appeals in order to keep control of the gullible animals.

Nevertheless, when in the course of life events, it becomes necessary for parents to stop supervise their kids' lives. Parents need to learn to let go and let their kids live their lives. I must explain why am I doing this. This led me to make my own Declaration of Independence from my parents. This is done for all the parents to see that we are all the same.

Animal Farm is an allegory for the Russian Revolution. The concept of ‘Animalism’ that had come to “Old Major” (pg. 1) in a dream is representative of Marx and Communism. Napoleon is much like Joseph Stalin. Each animal or type of animal represents a person from the events of the revolution. “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others” (pg. 97), Communism is all about how everyone is equal, much like Animalism, however in both cases certain people have come out on top and made life a living hell for everyone of lower classes. Both concepts started out as utopic ideas but turned into dystopic realities for both the animals and humans. There is quite a distinct connection between the events of Stalinist Russia and during the book of Animal

Animal Farm symbolizes Russia and the Soviet Union under communist party rule. But more generally, Animal Farm stands for any human society, be it capitalist, socialist, fascist, or communist. It possesses the internal structure of a nation, with a government (the pigs), a police force or army (the dogs), and a working class (other animals). Its location amidst a number of hostile neighbouring farms supports its symbolism as Russia.

This book begins with Old Major gathering all the animals into the barn and telling them about a dream he had last night. He saw a place where the animals were free from the rule of the humans. After describing his dream he gave a speech about the evils of man and taught the animals the song called “Beasts of England.” The animals sang the song five times in a row and had a lasting impact on them, this shows how respected and influential Old Major was. The rebellion that took place after his death was inspired by him. He set the foundation for Animalism and if he was still alive after the rebellion things would have gone much

After the animal uprising on the farm, a rule system is put in place, and all animals prosper under the equality of their newfound society. Three pigs, Squealer, Snowball, and Napoleon all establish themselves as important figures of power on the farm. “EVIDENCE.” They are powerful right from the start, for they were the ones who proposed the uprising in the first place. Each and every animal has their own job and place under “Animalism”, which were the general rules of the farm animals new lives. “EVIDENCE.” No animals are corrupted or suppressed by other animals, and life for them is going just swimmingly. Every animal is living its ideal life, all equal parts of the society that they helped make.

“History consists of a series of swindles, in which he masses are first lured into revolt by the promise of utopia, and then, when they have done their job, enslaved over again by new masters” (Brander). Animal Farm, a farm with animals that are treated cruelly and dream for a better life in which animals are all equal and independent of depraved humans, is an allegory of the development of communism, even totalitarianism. After successfully driving away Mr. Jones, the cruel, tyrannous, drunken owner of the farm, the animals, with the pigs acting as leaders for their superior intelligence, believe they are going to be rewarded with the certainty of living in an

Animal Farm is an allegory to communist Russia throughout the early to mid 1900s. Led by Old Major, a wise pig that represents Karl Marx, the founder of the socialism, the animals on Manor Farm try to establish a self-sufficient farm run by animals with no outside human contact. This “self-sufficient farm” called Animal Farm was focused on creating a system where everyone is equal and happy, and no animal could be above any other animal. However, what happened in Russia as well as other communist countries, was that the interim government that existed to facilitate the change to socialism became venal and didn't care or pay attention to the social equality of all the people. The interim government, represented by pigs in Animal Farm did not give up their power, leading to the oppressive governmental system called communism. Additionally, in Animal Farm, the communist “pigs”, Snowball and Napoleon, did not pay attention to the growing social gap as they grew more powerful on the farm and ended up going against their original philosophies to keep all animals

George Orwell says of Animal Farm, a novel subtitled A Fairy Story, that it was the first book in which he tried, with “full consciousness” of what he was doing, “to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole.” Set at Manor Farm, run by Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Animal Farm begins with a sketch of farm life from the perspective of the animals. Jones, who drinks excessively, and his nondescript wife do little to care for the animals while living off the animals’ labor. It is old Major, the prize Middle White boar, who speaks in his old age of better times when the animals will set their own laws and enjoy the products of their labor. He tells the farm animals, “All the habits of Man are evil,” and he warns them to avoid human vices, such as living in houses, sleeping in beds, wearing clothes, drinking alcohol, smoking tobacco, touching money, and engaging in trade. It is old Major who leads the farm animals in their first song of solidarity, which they sing so loudly that they wake the Joneses. Jones, hearing the ruckus and assuming that a fox is responsible for it, fires shots into the darkness and disperses the animals. Three nights later, old Major dies peacefully in his sleep. With him dies the selfless belief system needed to enact his vision.

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. Once the farm has been taken over by the animals, they are all equal at first, but class and status soon separates the different animal species. This story describes how a society’s ideologies can be manipulated by those in political power, to cause corruption by those in leadership.

Animal Farm, by George Orwell, demonstrates how animals who were mistreated by humans and could no longer endure the pain. One night the animals take over a farm because they are frustrated about being mistreated and forgotten. The animals run the humans off the farm and change the name from Manor Farm to Animal Farm . The oldest pig, Old Major, is the one that starts the rebellion. He gives the other animals an idea of what a farm should look like, how animals should be treated, and how humans are the enemies. Once Old Major dies, Napoleon and Snowball, both pigs, have different ideas of what they want Animal Farm to be like. Napoleon is evil and wants to be the only one in charge of the animals, so he exiles Snowball. Napoleon changes everything to contradict what the rebellion was originally about. When Napoleon comes to power, he leads Animal Farm to corruption and damage. Those who are power hungry will most likely misuse their power and make it into something evil. Orwell emphasizes this in his novel Animal Farm through the actions of the pigs.
