“A man was driving down a country road one day, and he saw, to his surprise, a chicken beside his car. Now this man was going 60 miles-per-hour and the chicken was keeping pace with him. And all the sudden the chicken ran ahead of him, but it seemed like the children had three legs. As the man gaped in wonder, he saw the animal turn down a dirt road and so the man followed it until he came to a farmhouse where he met a farmer.
He said to this so-said farmer, “Did you so happen to see a chicken come by here?”
And the farmer said, “Yes.”
“Is it yours?” the man said.
“Yes,” the farmer answered.
“Did the chicken have three legs?” the man asked.
“Yes, I breed them that way,” the farmer answered.
“Why?” the man asked and with a little puff of his chest the farmer answered. “Well, you see, I like the drumstick, Ma likes the drumstick, and now Junior comes along, and he likes the drumstick. So I breed three-legged chickens.”
“Well, how do they taste?”
Now when he asked this, the farmer looked chest fallen and said longingly. “I don’t know. I haven’t caught one yet.””
This was only one of the hilarious stories and jokes that Ronald Reagan told during his presidency alone. Ronald Reagan was the 40th president of the United States, who served from 1981 to 1989, and was one of the most widely known presidents. But his fame and popularity did not just come from his jokes, but his early life, his presidency, and his last years.

George Orwell’s Animal Farm is, first and foremost, a political satire warning against the pursuit of utopian desires through unjust and oppressive means. Operating under the pretense of an animal fable, Orwell disparages the use of political power to poach personal freedom. He effectively alerts his readers to the dangerous price that can accompany the so-called “pursuit of progress”. And he illuminates how governments acting under the guise of increasing independence often do just the opposite: increase oppression and sacrifice sovereignty. While the cautionary theme Orwell provides proves widely applicable, in reality his novel focuses on one tale of totalitarian abuse: Soviet Russia. The parallels between the society Orwell presents in his Animal Farm and the Soviet Union – from the Russian revolution to Stalin’s supremacy – are seemingly endless. Manor Farm represents Tsarist Russia, Animalism compares to Stalinism, and Animal Farm, with the pig Napoleon at its helm, clearly symbolizes Communist Russia and Joseph Stalin. But Orwell does more than simply align fiction with fact. He fundamentally attacks Soviet Russia at its core. And in so doing he reveals how the Communist Party simply replaced a bad system with a worse one, overthrowing an imperial autocracy for a totalitarian dictatorship. This essay will demonstrate that Orwell’s Animal Farm is

In The Natural History of the Chicken by Mark Lewis, he shows that chickens are in many ways anthropomorphic. Lewis uses interviews, re-enactments, and sound to help convey his message. Lewis uses re-enactments of the chicken owner's stories and Lewis throws in sound and some interviews to help sway his audience to the idea that chickens do have personalities and different traits just like humans. We see this when talking about the chicken Cotton and the story about the chicken Lisla. The rhetorical choices Lewis uses when putting these stories into his film greatly help contribute to the enjoyment of the film and help prove his claim.
Tom Guthrie who is a friend of the McPheron’s brought his sons, Ike and Bobby, to the farm one day to help out. Ike and Bobby would not give the McPheron’s an hourly wage to be paid; they weren’t sure what to say so they just shrugged their shoulders.

Like the chickens, the son was “...born out of an egg, live[ed]s for a few weeks as [a] tiny, fluffy thing[s], as those you see on Easter cards...” Yet, that gentle innocence was quickly shattered by desperate, stupid, and senseless living, “...then becomes hideously naked, eats quantities of corn and meal bought by the sweat of your father’s brow, gets diseases called Pip Cholera, and other names, stands looking with stupid eyes at the sun, gets sick and dies.” The son feels as if the chicken farm held him back and that he probably would have had better success with his intellect in other
