Animal Farm is a story set on a typical English farm. As the story begins, Mr. Jones, the manager of Manor Farm, is drunk and headed off to bed after forgetting to properly secure his farm's outbuildings.

Old Major knows that he will die soon, and he wants to pass along the wisdom he has acquired over his lifetime. He tells his barnyard companions that humans are to blame

Majority of the kids that have made friends and meet people online have had a good experience with it, whereas just a few have not. The sites should only be used by finding new friends, setting

the purpose of mindfulness is not an attempt to permanently move mountains, but rather to find a way around the stumbling block in the mental path. Yoga has been shown, through research, to reduce anxiety (Kirkwood, Rampes, Tuffrey, Richardson, & Pilkington, 2005).

Promises are retracted, and the commandments that were once irrevocable are changed to meet the needs of Napoleon and his “henchmen.” Napoleon begins to engage in trade with Pilkington, a former partner of Mr. Jones. The end product is a farm that is no different from the one that was rebelled against years prior, and a reality in which man and pig could not be differentiated: “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and

This is why we said sorry.

Aung San Suu Kyi once said “It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those that wield it, and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those that are subject to it.” In the short term, this means that those who have power want more, and those that don’t, fear getting power. When one has all power they become greedy and abuse that power. This book was made around the time of world war 1. Animal Farm is a author's way of showing there voice to the problems at the time.George

Situational irony occurs when a story’s plot takes a 180 degree turn than what both the intended readers or audiences and the characters predict. Situational irony is also sometimes called as “Irony of Fate”. One of the noticeable situational ironies is on Act 3, page 14, on the first paragraph when Snowball busied himself with organising the other animals into what he called as “Animal Committees”. The committee was called ‘The Wild Comrades’ Re-education Committee, Egg Production Committee, The
