The Seven Commandments Of Animal Farm By George Orwell

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.

What would your life be like if you were being watched every second and had no control over any of your actions? George Orwell wrote an allegory for Animal Farm to compare it to the Russian Revolution and then on to the Stalin era in the Soviet Union. In the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell, all the animals were always under someone's control. To start this novel, “Mr. Jones” was the farmer of Manor Farm until the animals planned a revolt against him since things were so bad. They thought if they got Mr. Jones out of being in charge then everything would be 100% better. All animals did not want to be under the control of one person.

The animals organized a rebellion and they take over the farm and organize defense mechanisms in case of the people coming to take the farm back. One day the people rally against the animals and snowball the lead pig gets injured 1or 2 get killed and they take their previous owners gun. After their battle, they make rules called the 7 commandments first was Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy, second whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend, the third no animal

Without law and order, it is nearly proven that civilization will fail. Because of this, Snowball saw it necessary to create a set of rules for the animals on the newly evolving farm, so came about the 7 Commandments. Unfortunately, but undoubtedly in the pigs’ advantage, most of the other animals did not know how to read or write. Because of this the other members of the farm had to bestow their trust and goodwill in the more educated of the animals. Little did they know that their innocence and their devotion to the farm as a whole would in the end lead to their demise. “The birds did not understand Snowball’s long words, but they accepted his explanation, and all the humbler animals set to work to

After having a taste of power, the pigs lose themselves in their lust for ultimate power. Because of the supreme position of the pigs in the farm, a minority controls the majority of the animals, their greed for power leads to the corruption of the power. First of all, Napoleon uses dogs to expel Snowball in order to have exclusive power. Napoleon starts to against every suggestions Snowball proposes at the beginning. He raises the puppy secretly and shows them up while excluding Snowball. These fierce dogs become a sign of Napoleon’s authority and absolute power. It is the first time that execution happens in the farm, it disobeys the essence of Animalism, all animals are friends. However, no one dares to question him because Napoleon has the absolute power, even though it starts corrupting. Secondly, when the pigs move into the farmhouse and begin sleeping in the beds, the Fourth Commandment turns out to have mysteriously changed. It now reads “No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets.”(Orwell, 67) Bed is a symbol of being human in the story. The pigs’ greed of being human has not

Told in third person by an all-knowing narrator, "Animal Farm" takes place on an English farm. The oldest pig on the farm, Old Major, calls for a clandestine meeting of all animals. He shares with them his dreams about a revolution against Mr. Jones, the farm owner. Animal Farm has transcended to its original text and making it relevant to readers by allowing them to read about an actual revolution rather than a fictional revolution.

The pigs view themselves as higher than the other animals, leaving the other animals equal to each other with less power than the pigs. The pigs revise these Commandments so that they are able to do whatever they want without having any rules or laws to stop them. Also, it was discovered that Napoleon had a stash of alcohol with him and drank it at night. Another Commandment once said that "no animals shall drink

After a pig named Old Major convinces the animals to rebel against Man, their primary problem, the animals take over Manor Farm. Although the pigs are instantly stereotyped as the intelligent, dominant leaders of the farm, they quickly change Animal Farm into a tyrannical, corrupted farm, which includes reduced rations, murders, and corruption. As the pigs distinguish themselves from the other animals and break the commandments of Animalism, oppression and starvation seem to stare the working-class animals

The pigs rise to power because of their manipulation of language. Old Major gives a riveting speech about a dream he wishes to pass on to the other animals. This dream inspires the animals towards revolution and gives them hope that they can overcome the oppression that they have been facing for their entire lives. Since Old Major inspires the revolution, it is not surprising that after his death, his fellow pigs take a leading role during the formative years of Animal Farm. They help to create the seven commandments as well as the core principal of Animalism. To embody the essential beliefs of Animalism, Snowball the pig creates the slogan, “‘four legs good, two legs bad’” (34). This slogan causes uproar among the birds, because

The 7 commandments made by the pigs symbolizes the power and manipulation the pigs have over the other animals. The use of the commandments represent how words can manipulate others and lead to an abuse of power. For example, at the end of chapter 3 Squealer manages to convince the rest of the animals that the pigs needed the apples and milk they had taken to preserve health. In addition, Squealer tells the animals that the pigs don’t even like their food and only eat for the good of the farm. Then, he uses Jones’ return to justify their extra meals and says “Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Jones would come back! Yes, Jones would come back! Surely, comrades," This ended the argument and convinced the animals that the pigs needed to eat the main crop of apples. This breaks the farm’s commandment concerning animal equality however, the pigs trick the animals into believing everything is right through fear mongering.

In the exposition of Animal Farm, the animals living on the Manor Farm decide they disagree with the way Mr. Jones, the owner, is treating them. The animals overthrow Mr. Jones and kick him out of the farm, which they rename Animal Farm. As the action rises, the pigs take over the farm. The pigs Snowball and Napoleon compete for leadership of the farm. Napoleon drives Snowball

Animal Farm is a novel about animals taking over the humans that have treated them unfairly. Their new government that they have set up was Animalism. It was their version of Communism since it’s containing similar concepts, like how they say all animals are equal however they are not. The theme of the novel is about how a government full of power can control every thing and make everything seems equal and normal, but they could change things up little by little and we wouldn’t know what’s happing. After the farm was taken from Mr. Jones, the animals changed the name from Manor Farm to Animal Farm and the pigs had taken charge since “the work of teaching and organising the others fell naturally upon the pigs, who were generally recongnised as being the cleverest of the animals,” after old Major died (Orwell, 35).

Animal Farm is a story set in England, specifically in a region that is very rural. The farm mostly talked about in the book is called the Manor farm, and it is the setting for the larger portions of the story’s events. An overview of this story would be, that in the beginning, on the manor farm, all of the animals are displeased by the way they are treated, especially that they must work for someone for long, laborious hours, with no pay, and very little rations of food. The animal’s hold a conference to discuss how they plan to best overcome their problem, and decide to rebel against the owner of the manor farm, Mr. Jones. The rebellion leads to Jones fleeing the farm, and the animals have full power over how the farm will be run. For a while, this plan works just fine, as the animals created laws that they believe will stop them from behaving like humans,however there are conflicts along the way, including a war which causes the original pig leader of the farm to leave, and a new leader pig to take his place. The new leader

Animal Farm begins with Old Major telling his fellow animals about his dream in which he envisions a farm with no humans. The speech instills a drive within the animal community to rise and overthrow Mr. Jones, the farm owner. After the farmer is successfully removed and Old Major dies, the animals find themselves in a leaderless state. Three pigs, Napoleon, Snowball, and Squealer, take it upon
