One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey

One of the themes of the novel ‘Animal Farm’ is that people’s ignorance can contribute to their political and social oppression. How does the animal’s behaviour in this novel support this theme?

Animal imagery is used to give the reader a better understanding of the message the author is trying to convey and to produce more vivid descriptions. During a round Mailer explain Griffiths attack “Griffith was like a cat ready to rip the life out of a huge boxed rat.” Mailer is describing an image in your mind that Griffith is intense and wants to win his fight against Paret. This also creates an imagine in readers head of Griffith looking so furious and hyped up, like his veins were popping out and he was growling like a bear. “Griffith making a pent-up whimpering sound all the while he attacked.” This is like an animal, such as a lion, which is furious and about to attack their prey. “…and then he leaped on Griffith to pull him away.” “His trainer leaped into the ring, his manager, his cut man, there were four people holding Griffith, but he was off on an orgy…” The word leaped creates an imagine of an animal prancing in joy or hunger, and this is what comes to mind as readers read this part of the

In Chapter one, Old Major gives a speech about how the animals should rebel against Mr Jones, the human and leader of the farm in order to please all of the animals by having satisfactory amounts of the essentials.

Lenin was a revolutionary thinker who came up with the basic concept of the Russian Revolution.

In two of our previous essays the readers are exposed to three minor animal characters that help to build the characterization of the protagonists in the essays. In “The Fourth State of Matter,” the collie dog and squirrels help to convey the kind of person JoAnn Beard is. Similarly, in “Repeat After Me,” Henry the parrot, helps to build on who Lisa Sedaris is as well as to create a reflection of himself. With these animals as support for the protagonists, they help develop certain aspects of the protagonists’ personalities and identities, thereby consequently conveying the authors’ deeper messages of the essays.

Ignorance is the most fatal flaw in human nature. In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, he expresses through his characters that ignorance is the worst of all flaws. Each of the animal characters in the book, symbolize specific characteristics that are found in humans.

The animal imagery used in Maus, by Art Spiegelman, is the first thing you notice about this book. It is, if not, the most important theme and factor centered around Maus graphic novels. By looking at the cover, we can see that the book is about issues during the Holocaust but Spiegelman deals with these issues in a different way. As we look deeper into the story we begin to notice that Spiegelman isn’t just choosing animals he likes and placing them in the plot. There is a wide selection of animals Spiegelman has chosen to represent his set of characters, giving the novel a darker theme. Race and status heavily affect the structure of Maus, playing a major role

Featured along side people and characters in illustration, animals have provided an avenue in which artist are able to express complex ideas. Although a rather comprehensive theme throughout art, animals have been used to convey a variety of subject matter throughout history, ranging from being an educational prop to devices in social commentary and personification.

This book has lots of great pictures and the pictures also help make sense of why the animals are not coming or not being invited. The book also uses bold lines to show importance of the characters. The book also does a great job with teaching the importance of loving everyone, no matter how they look, smell, or the age of the

Although the story gains a greater sense of symbolism through the use of animals as characters, it also looses a concrete identity for the characters. By deciding to use generic images to differentiate the characters from one another within the illustrations, Spiegelman has generalized

The Klondike was more than just a search for gold, it was a quest for a new life. “A stout man with a red sweater came out and that was the man, Buck decided, that would be his next tormentor. Then the man advanced and deliberately dealt him a frightful blow on the nose. All the pain he had endured was as nothing compared to the agony of this.” In the book, “Call of the Wild,” Jack London reveals how humans view work animals differently through the perspectives of characters named Hal and Francois.
