I read a book called, “Animal Farm” written by George Orwell. The book is about animals on a farm who are overworked, and aren't treated well. Then, an insurgency made up of animals with pigs as their leaders, rebel against Mr.Jones (owner of the farm) by driving him off his farm. The animals try to make the perfect life for themselves, but that doesn’t go as planned. Animal farm then, starts to fail. The farm fails because of the pigs not being fair to the other animals, and the animals being too

Controversial Topic: Commercial Animal Testing Do you have an animal at home? If yes, what would you do if it were harmed in any way? A common answer to this question is, “ I would do anything in my power to protect my pet.” So, if thousands of Americans with pets would stand by them in any situation, why do people still continue to buy commercial products that are tested on animals? Commercial products are usually classified as skincare, hair care, and makeup. This is not to say that only women

In the text,”What Happened During the Ice Storm,” the author vividly describes how the young, farm boys handle the situation with the ice storm that struck their farm. The author, in the text, says a whole lot about how humans handle situations. In the article, the farm boys have to save the blind, cold pheasants from dying and bring them inside. However, they couldn’t think of a way to catch them without spooking them and letting them run away. They stood around for a little bit looking at

Animal Testing Are you allowing yourself to ignore the unnecessary, unethical, and inaccurate experiments and tests that are being done to innocent animals every single day? Scientists, doctors, and other experimenters do physical and mental tests on animals in search of answers. Over time the horrible practices that were, and still are, happening to these animals on a daily bases were slowly opened to the public and it seems like no one wanted to believe it. Slowly these ways are being stopped

Gestational crates should not be on factory farms. Gestational crates limit the pigs movement so much that the mothers are stuck on there sides when there are pregnant and can not move to eat or go to the bathroom. Gestational crates should not be on factory farming. In this essay I will talk about how gestational crates abuse the pigs that are put in them, how the mother pigs are treated on these farms and how free range farming is better for the animals. I think that gestational crates should not

At the start of the book Ed is simply existing. He’s not living, “I cook. I eat. I wash but rarely iron. I live in the past and believe that Cindy Crawford is by far the best supermodel. That’s my life.” (p.20) This is a sentence that I feel really shows who Ed is at the beginning. He more or less does the same thing every day in sort of a monotone way. Throughout the cards and difficulties that Ed goes through, we really start to see a person emerging out of Ed. We see someone who is feeling and

Animal Cruelty Investigator What I Knew Being an Animal Cruelty Investigator has been something that has interested me for a long time since I came across the show “Animal Cops.” I know a few things about this career. First, I know that it can be at times a very dangerous job not just because of the mistreated animals, but because of the crazy people too. From encountering an abused animal that only knows a life of punishment and horrible training they can be skittish and scared causing them to

Donald Trump 2016 President of the United States. Well not quite yet. Trump in his campaign for presidency uses multiple rhetorical techniques to boost his popularity. He has uses biased language and scapegoating to boost his political campaign just as like Squealer boosts himself to power. Throughout the book Squealer, continuously uses biased language, in his rhetoric, which leads to him control the animals. Squealer says that Snowball was Jones's secret agent the whole time and the Battle of

How Is Islamic State a Modern Day Animal Farm? Although alluding to a completely different nation in a different time period, George Orwell’s animals in Animal Farm also have their similarities with ISIS, a modern day terrorist organization. George Orwell alluded to Stalin’s USSR(Soviet Union) seventy years ago with this work, but similar allusions can be made to today’s ISIS. ISIS is a modern day Animal Farm because Animal Farm’s and ISIS’s leader are very similar, they use a certain ideology

Legs are used for movement, they can also be used for other things if you are good with them. If somebody has no legs, they can use prosthetics. Not many people would think of a leg more than that, but George Orwell used legs for more than that in his book ​ Animal Farm​ . Orwell based this book off of the Russian Revolution in the early 20th century. The book uses animals to get across Orwell’s point about how totalitarianism does not work. “Four legs good, two legs bad.”(Orwell 14) is a motto that
