Comparison Of Animal Farm And Gears Of War
Introduction
In this essay I am going to be comparing two pieces of media. These two pieces are going to be the film adaptation of Animal Farm by George Orwell and the game series Gears of War by Epic Games.
Animal Farm has an entirely different audience profile to Gears of War.
Firstly, Animal Farm was published in 17 August 1945 by George Orwell. It was a satirical dramatisation of the Russian Revolution, the Stalin Era and the Soviet Union.

Their mission is to use a device called the ‘Resonator’ to map the locust caves (The Hollow) and later deploy a ‘Lightmass Bomb’ to destroy a number of the enemy. After squad leader Kim is killed (By General RAAM), Marcus is promoted as the new leader.
The Resonator fails to provide enough data, but Delta Squad discover a larger map in Marcus’ family home. After receiving the data they board a train carrying the Lightmass bomb and kill General RAAM and upload the data to the bomb. The bomb is launched into the Hollow and destroys the network of tunnels. The final scene is narrated by a woman (The Locust Queen) who states they will have
