    The pigs force the hens to lay more eggs and the cows to produce more milk to sell, all whilst claiming the farm is running better than it had before the revolution. The story ends with the pigs refuting the rules that were the tenets of the rebellion. “The creatures looked from pig to man, and from man to pig; but already it was impossible to say which was which”. This shows that the farm is no longer democratic, and the pigs are now just like men, the former dictators.…

    the farmer goes horribly wrong as the victors create a new tyranny among themselves”, to represent the uprising Russian Revolution during a Communist society. Orwell wanted to let people know that even though it sounded good in the beginning it was no different to the rules in the past, they alter it to their bidding. In the book, the pigs were manipulative, selfish against the other animals, and showed greed. They were not as lazy because they were the leaders, but they did not do any work. The pigs were acting just like the other human farmers, taking the produce from the animals without putting in labor.…

    Old Major dies three nights after the meeting that united the animals. Over the next three months, the more intelligent animals begin to approach life differently. They now anticipate the Rebellion, for which they assume the task of preparing. The pigs take on the task of organizing and teaching the other animals because they are “generally recognized as being the cleverest of the animals” (35).…

    The primary issue that Old Major has with the principle of working for man is that the animals do the work for no benefit, while Mr. Jones lives a life of excess. Old major is disgruntled by the fact that the man barks orders at his animals, and the animals remain malnourished and neglected even though they do the bulk of the man’s work. Soon after Napoleon and Snowball seize control of Animal Farm, as the animals work tenaciously in the fields, the pigs “…did not actually work, but directed and supervised the others” (50). The pigs’ integrity continues to decline as the story unfolds; the reader sees that they become more akin to the parasitic man which they had sought to be liberated from than diligent leaders they portrayed themselves to be. The pigs, who have taken the place of man at the farm, now begin to reap the benefits of the other animals’ work.…

    Old Major, a prize-winning boar, gathers the animals of the Manor Farm for a meeting in the big barn. He tells them of a dream he has had in which all animals live together with no human beings to oppress or control them. He tells the animals that they must work toward such a paradise and teaches them a song called “Beasts of England,” in which his dream vision is lyrically described. The animals greet Major’s vision with great enthusiasm. When he dies only three nights after the meeting, three younger pigs, Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer formulate his main principles into a philosophy called Animalism. Late one night, the animals manage to defeat the farmer Mr. Jones in a battle, running him off the land. They rename the property Animal Farm and dedicate themselves to achieving Major’s dream. The cart-horse Boxer devotes himself to the cause with particular zeal, committing his great strength to the prosperity of the farm and adopting as a personal maxim the affirmation “I will work harder.”…

    In Animal Farm, the corrupt leaders, the pigs, live a lavish life while the other animals are struggling to survive. Alev Yemenici said in his article, “In a society where people have no voice, if the ruling body with privileges such as special education, luxury and titles, has absolute power, this will lead to total corruption and disintegration of values.” This “total corruption and disintegration of values” is seen with the pigs. The pigs are more intelligent; they are able to read books and comprehend “human” ideas. They also have the dogs for protection. At a point in the story, the pigs move into the farmhouse. The farmhouse is warm, full of food, and has nice beds for the pigs to sleep on. While the pigs are enjoying lavishes, the other animals are fighting over food and have to sleep on dirt beds. The only way the pigs got to live this way was through the sacrifice…

    Boxer, the hardest working and best example of the perfect citizen in Animal Farm, repeats his slogan to the other animals to encourage them to believe in their leader, Napoleon.” ‘Ah, that is different!’ said Boxer. ‘If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right “(82). Whatever Napoleon says to do, Boxer will accomplish. Boxer is Napoleon’s best chance to impact the animals’ thoughts, as they look up to him for assurance and guidance. This makes it easier for the animals to believe in the deliberate lies Napoleon Speaks. Napoleon can efficiently control his population so that they can suffer through work as he reaps the profits, leading to a dismal life for the animals. Boxer also uses another slogan to keep him and the other animals motivated, as Orwell writes,” At such times his lips were seen to form the words, ‘I will work harder’; he had no voice left” (118). Boxer is worked so much by Napoleon and his slogan that he is on the brink of death. This leads to the reader understanding just how hard the animals are working, for very little rewards, since their rations are being cut time after time. This anaphora also equates to more control by Napoleon, because the animals are driven to work more. Hopelessness is installed in their harsh daily lives as their work has no benefits to a better future, but to a dull and bleak one…

    Animal Farm Book Review

    For instance, the text states "Nevertheless, some of the animals were disturbed when they heard that the pigs not only took their meals in the kitchen and used the drawing-room as a recreation room, but also slept in the beds. Some days afterwards, it was announced that from now on the pigs would get up an hour later in the mornings than the other animals" This quote illustrates that there is a lack of equality and fairness on Animal Farm since pigs have the privilege of sleeping longer in comfortable beds while the other animals sleep in the barn and wake up earlier. Besides that, as Napoleon grasps absolute power over the farm, his power also corrupts and he becomes hostile towards others. Specifically, one Sunday, it was announced that the hens must surrender their eggs because "Napoleon had accepted, through Whymper, a contract for four hundred eggs a…
