Power corrupts sometimes.

Finally, Ben also felt regrets over his past actions. He regrets meeting Nettie Halversham. Then later on in the book he regrets telling her everything that he have told her. “ And Nettie Halversham. We’re all mixed up about her, aren't we? I told you about her, didn’t I?” this piece of evidence shows you that Nettie really wasn’t the person for Ben.

In return, all James did was slander Benjamin’s name throughout the community so he wouldn’t be able to find work anywhere else. This was a big challenge for Benjamin because not only did he have a bad name that lasted quite a long time but he also had to force himself to move to distant places like New York and Pennsylvania. He had to travel under dangerous conditions across seas to find another job. Also another challenge Benjamin faced after leaving his fathers job, was that he couldn’t find a long stable and suitable job for himself. He always faced problems at every new job he joined. On his way to New York, Benjamin meets Bradford, who was not able to offer him any jobs. But he refers Benjamin to his son Andrew who was a printer in Pennsylvania. When Benjamin gets to Pennsylvania, Andrew did not have a job to offer him. Then Andrew refers him to go work for Keimer, who is also another printer. Although Keimer gave Benjamin work, but it doesn’t last long. He later stops living with Keimer and ends up leaving the job. From these events in his life we are able to see the cycle and pattern, and he might face similar challenges in the future. Benjamin gets pushed around from places to places to find a jobs with very few people recognizing his ability and passion to write, and how much of an intellectual, he was. He wasn’t able to save up his money due

Napoleon, who is dictator by now, proceeds to manipulate the farm animals with his deceitful propaganda. However, his scheming acts become noticeably repetitive. Making some of the animals question his authority. The majority of the animals were blindly following Napoleon’s regime, only a few who realized that it was not what he was claiming it to be. Benjamin, an old, wise, and stubborn donkey was not affected by the rebellion. He is also intelligent, being the only animal other than the pigs that can fluently read. Benjamin represent the humans that hold the idea that life is hard, and that efforts for change are useless. Benjamin can too represent Orwell himself. Both Orwell and Benjamin saw the negatives of a government when the rest were

George Orwell, in Animal Farm, addresses blind conformity and misuse of power. There are many comparisons between Animal Farm and Germany under Hitler’s tyranny concerning these two themes. Napoleon and Hitler both used propaganda to ensure there was blind conformity amongst the common people/animals and they both misused their power. The two themes of blind conformity and misuse of power are constantly repeated throughout the novel and will be studied throughout this essay.

Amimal Farm is a political allegory written by George Orwell. In this story, animals rebel against humans and take control of the farm they live on. Animal Farm adopts the idea of animalism, which has seven basic guidelines, and stresses the importance of equality. However, animalism fails and the animal republic breaks down for two main reasons. The two main factors that influence the downfall of Animal Farm are Napoleon's desire for absolute power and his exploitation of the animals. They also sing a song called Beats of England.

There has always been an ongoing controversy over non-conformity versus conformity. Which one is better, which one will give you the best result in the long run? The definition of a conformist is someone who participates in accepted behavior or established practice. A non-conformist is someone who does not conform, but instead prevails own personal view on ideas, practices, or behaviors. Truth is, even though they have different definitions, they’re the exact same thing. A great example of this is in the book Animal Farm, by George Orwell. Animal Farm is an allegory of the Russian revolution. It is about a farm where animals revolt against humans and the pigs are in charge. These pigs end up being corrupt leaders. One very important theme of this book is which is better, conformity or nonconformity? Which is the best way to survive on Animal Farm? Conformity or

This addition of magical realism by the screenwriter and director to explain Benjamin’s story allows the viewer to have a visual metaphor of how it would look if time ran backwards. Like the Monsieur Gateau’s clock, Benjamin is an anomaly that is meant to defy the mechanisms of time. Yet, Benjamin and the clock both fall short on that front. Throughout the movie, the audience is shown how Benjamin is plagued with the same ailments as others even though he is ageing differently. Just like a regular human being, he experiences the lost of family and friends due to death and has to come to terms with the fact that he too will soon die. Ultimately, this shows that regardless of the way that an individual ages, death is inevitable. Even the clock eventually succumbs to “death” when it is submerged in water during the flooding of New Orleans at the end of the movie as Hurricane Katrina finally hits. Once this happens, the viewer must face the fact that

The saying "ignorance is bliss" is not always very accurate. The book Animal Farm by George Orwell is an allegory for a real historical event – the Russian Revolution. It demonstrates how people's ignorance can be the cause of their social and political oppression and how the knowledge of others' ignorance can lead to power, which ultimately corrupts those who possess it. These themes are portrayed through the characters and in real life.

Now in the literary story Benjamin has a grandfather who at the start was antagonized, became to enjoy his grandson’s company. It is a brief account of his grandfather but a meaningful one as this was the first one who gave him a sense of acceptance. The film version gave him acceptance through Queenie and we never get to know a grandfather; though one could say the patrons at the old folk’s home could have been grandparent surrogates for Benjamin. The patrons at the old folks home taught him many things but his experience living there taught him not to fear death and what loss was about which, in a sense, desensitized the character so that when Queenie passes he is not visibly upset.

Humankind has always had a thirst for power; over its peers, environment and spiritual beliefs. To quench this thirst it has gone as far as genocide; but has often employed more subtle techniques, such as mind control. In today’s socio-economical and political worlds, mind control plays a key role in dictating tastes and lifestyles; as well as controlling political thoughts, views, and people’s understanding of the world. It is accomplished using various channels to condition people’s thinking. Publicity and advertisement campaigns saturate people with products, broadcasting over radio, and television which in itself is a prime example. Many religions employ mind control, conditioning their followers to obey without

animal revolution took place. Old major was the pioneer, which led a huge group of animals to overthrow farm owner Mr.Jones. The animal revolution aimed to establish a domestic society but result in a dictatorship society. Unfortunately, the revolution was a completely failure because they remained the idea of being a dictatorship country and the treaty could be easily edited. The only difference was that, in the past, the leader was a human, but now, the leader was a animal. The new leader not only love the problem of the animal farm, but also deepen the problem due to uneducated problem, Napoleon’s greedy, exaggerate propaganda.

Benjamin is the oldest animal farm which is covered multiple times throughout the book. In his long life he knows that he will be taken advantage over if he does more than he’s supposed to. “Nevertheless, without openly admitting it, he was devoted to Boxer; the two of them usually spent their Sundays together in the small paddock beyond the orchard, grazing side by side and never speaking” (5). Benjamin somehow disregards his pessimism and other gloomy qualities to devote some time to his only friendship with Boxer. Benjamin is may be cynical, but the true Benjamin is loyal, steadfast, calm and

“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.
