The Seven Commandments

Finally, the pigs use two different euphemisms to promote themselves. The first euphemism is readjustments of food said by Squealer, this was used so it did not seem the pigs were taking food from just fixing the amount. The food was reduce for everyone but the pigs and dogs while the other animals starved a bit that winter. Squealer also lied to the animals in the following quote: “In any

In this paper I am going to state seven commandments that I think is most important in our society. The seven commandments in Animal Farm were based on animal rights and what not to do so that they avoid acting like humans. These commandments however changed later in the story so it was very hypocritical. My commandments will be basic rules and will not change under any circumstances.

Singh, Bhagat. “A rebellion is not a revolution. It may ultimately lead to [the] end.” At the beginning of the novel, the animals rebel against the humans and overtake farm. They then create the seven commandments which the animals are supposed to live by. These were created to keep peace on the farm, but the pigs slowly changed them in their favor over the course of the story. These changes represent and symbolize how governments slowly change ideas to help the upper class of any nation. The changes in the first, sixth, and seventh commandments show how the pigs represent a corrupted and totalitarian government.

For the pigs to maintain their popularity with the other animals, Squealer secretly paints additions to some commandments to benefit the pigs while keeping them free of accusations of breaking the laws (such as "No animal shall drink alcohol" having "to excess" added to it and "No animal shall sleep in a bed" with "with sheets" added to it). Eventually the laws are replaced with "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others", and "Four legs good, two legs

The message that both the book and the Film adaptation of Animal Farm has to tell its audiences is not to be a blind follower to question what is being done, if it is the correct decision and to not hide in fear. In the book the Animals do not question at all the pigs authority by any means they let napoleon lead the farm without a vote. “... terrified, huddling together, the animals watched the long line of pigs march slowly around the yard” (Orwell 62-63) The pigs used fear to put themselves in the leadership position and to keep it.

The animals worked really hard to provide a plentiful amount of food but the pigs took all they wanted. “Milk and apples quote” pigs lyed. The pigs distracted the animals with newfound freedom and work while they took the apples for their own game. The pigs gradually began to want more and more so they would start to amend the rules to their own gain while the other animals began to suffer. Such as when “a rule gave pigs more and hurt animals”.

In Animal Farm, The author writes this in the resolution to show that the pigs became what they were originally fighting against. "Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which." (George Orwell 55).

Throughout the book, the pigs’ decisions consistently contradict readers’ predictions and expectations, showing situational irony. Immediately after the revolution

In Animal Farm lots of things go down, but the very ending of the book we find out how untrustworthy pigs and humans can be. On page 141, in Animal Farm by George Orwell, he writes "The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which". The quote means that the animals couldn't tell the difference between the humans and the animals. They were like the same thing.

In the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell, the animals of Manor Farm overthrow their human owner because of the unfair conditions he forced upon them . The animals later proceed to create the Seven Commandments in hopes of creating a utopia where animals are equal and all animals live in joy a prosperity. Certain animals take advantage and bend the rules to their favor. In an attempt to create a utopia, there will always be at least one individual that possesses selfish and evil traits.

THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS OF ANIMAL FARM. The seven commandments are the basic principles of Animalism worked out by the pigs and described as the originally “unchangeable laws” by which the animals were to obey and follow the rules and were to never to be broken. The seven commandments were written on the wall of where the barn was, by which where the animals day by day read were: Page: 43: 1.

    Napoleon, Snowball, and Squealer create the seven commandments as a way to control the animals. The pigs had taught themselves how to read and write using Mr. Jones’s old school books. This gave them an advantage over the animals and allowed them to make any rules they want. The goal of the pigs was that the laws “would form an unalterable law by which all the animals on Animal Farm must live for ever after”(Orwell 24). Even though the animals are supposed to have freedom over their rights this shows that the pigs are slowly taking that away. This is only the first example of how the pigs are taking advantage of the animals. Unfortunately, this happens with people very often. When someone is uneducated in an area, they will usually follow someone who they think knows what they are talking about. The person will blindly accept what the other is saying without any background information. In

It was on a seemingly pleasant evening after the animals had finished their day’s labor when they horrifyingly witness the pigs walk on their hind legs and carry whips in their trotters like “tyrannical human beings.” Briefly later, they approach the barn wall where the Commandments were inscribed and shockingly discover the rules to be drastically altered as well. “ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL,” the white letters affirm, “BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS” (134). This final reconfiguration and abandonment of all the other commandments en masse solidifies the class divisions and injustice on the farm through showing how the pigs’ use, or abuse thereof, of language is pivotal in their abuse of power and control. By gradually distorting the meanings behind the originally embraced Commandments, and therefore the initial visionary ideals of socialism, the pigs create a situation where the animals are unable to oppose the inequality and oppression carried out on them.

In rebellion no one should go unwatched. No action should be unseen and no one should be left unmonitored. At the end of Animal Farm, the pigs have started walking on two legs, they have invited the humans from neighboring farms over, and they have been wearing clothes, drinking alcohol and other human activities. With that quote, “Animals are more equal but some animals are more equal than others,” the reader of the story must wonder if the pigs planned to take over from the start.

This quote states that the animals outside of the barn were looking at all of the people in the room. Since the pigs have now become so power hungry they are making the same actions as Mr. Jones. The animals couldn’t tell the difference between the pigs and the humans since they are so alike. They all have the same ideas to torture the animals. This quote uses personifications because the narrator was giving the animals human traits because they were standing upright and playing cards and there were also many other uses of personification in the
