What Is The Irony In Death Of A Pig By E. B. White

The last type of irony that can be found in Animal Farm is verbal irony. Verbal irony is when a character express words that is contrary to what it truly mean. Example of verbal irony that can be found in Animal Farm is in the last commandment in chapter 10, page 51 and 52. The last commandment used to be “All animals are equal” but it has changed to “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” The sentence is ironic because it says that all animals are equal, which means all animals in the farm, including the pigs and dogs, are on the same level but the part that “more equal than others” is contradictory to the first part of the sentence.

An author often writes a novel as a warning to mankind. In Animal Farm, George Orwell creates a world of animals that allegorically represent man.

When they see the pig’s sad face, the audience begins to feel a pang of guilt for eating bacon and begin to realize the wrongness in eating meat.

This appeals to the hearts of the audience because it uses visual words that inspire them to have compassion towards the topic. The audience realizes that animals are treated badly at factory farms and this usually leads to an emotional

Imagery is an importand part of and writing piece, as it gives the essay or story deeper meaning and its easier for readers to imagine and connect with the writing. Four examples of imagery in Death of a Pig are both visual and auditory imagery. Firstly, we have an example of visual imagery. “A faded building that was once an icehouse. There is a plesant yard to move around in shaded by an apple tree that overhangs a low rail fence.” With this desription being so early in the story we are able to see and visualize the farm throghout the rest of the story.

Pity is an alternative road we take when there is nothing we can do to help someone. In fact, Pity is an emotion that makes us feel sorry for something. The author of the book “The Pigman”, Paul Zindel, did an excellent job in painting scenes that made me feel pity or even guilt. For instance, on page thirty-five, there is a motif for Mr. Pignati the first time Lorraine and John meet him.

I felt sympathetic towards Mr. Pignati, especially during the event on page fifty-two and fifty-three,
