Epilogue To George Orwell's Animal Farm
“Friends, let us meet at the windmill. I have something to tell you all,” said Benjamin outraged. All the animals followed him. Some because they knew what he was going to say, others because they were confused. “I have lived a lot longer than most of you standing here today, but I cannot stand by and watch this anymore. We no longer live on a free farm. I think we have all known that for a very long time, but we have all been so intimidated by Napoleon that no one has stood up to him. That is until now. Before the rebellion we were ruled by humans and now we are back to square one and are ruled by ‘humans’ once again. One of the hens said, “You have it all wrong. Napoleon and the other pigs are leading us.” “Did you not see inside the farm house?” Benjamin asked, “Humans and pigs are just alike now. In fact, the only difference is the pigs treat us worse. That is why we have to turn against them. We have to rebel or we’ll all end up dead within a few months. We will need help.”
“I know someone who can help.”
No one knew where the voice came from. From the dark shadow of a tree, Boxer and Snowball appeared. All the animals jumped for joy as they ran toward Boxer.
“Boxer, Boxer! We thought you were dead. They took you to a slaughter house. How did you escape?” one of the cows asked excitedly. …show more content…
I saw Napoleon kill all those innocent animals. I felt so terrible and helpless that I couldn’t save my fellow comrades. With that feeling I created my own army. I went to other farms to find others with the same ideas as I have. I found man brave animals who I have trained in the ways of Animalism. When I saw Napoleon send Boxer away I knew he had betrayed him. As they were taking him away in the van I ran as quickly as I could to save him. I caught up with the van, broke the lock and set Boxer free. The humans searched for us after that so we had to lay low. I helped him build up his strength and now we are ready to stand up to

    This Essay is about How the Last Sentence, In George Orwell's "Animal Farm", Relates to the Rest of the Book. This is about the irony in the story of how one being became what it hated.

    The pigs slowly started to do the same things that Mr. Jones did. They took all the milk because they felt they needed it more. They list Seven Commandments on the barn wall, which the pigs have developed from the teachings of old Major. The Commandments suggest that whatever is human is an enemy, that whatever is animal is a friend, and that all animals are equal. The first indication that all are not equal, however, occurs when the pigs set themselves up as the leaders and take for themselves, the milk. Napoleon trains young puppies, which he took from their mother at birth, to grow into fierce mean enforcers. Napoleon then later uses these enforcers to get rid of Snowball so he alone can dictate the farm. Then we have Squealer, another pig who convinces the animals that the pigs deserve certain special privileges because they work harder than the rest of the animals.…

    Comparative essay on the Giver and Animal Farm

    In Animal Farm, the plot goes around the victory of Old Major and the overthrow of Mr.Jones leading to the full overtaking of the farm. After this overthrow Snowball and Napoleon are put in charge over the pigs with the motto “all pigs are equal.” However during this leadership Snowball is run off the farm by Napoleon’s taste for power starting a dictatorship. Therefore takes control of all the animals of the farm. Boxer who had thought about what Napoleon had did spoke his mind saying” if comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right.” From there he adopted the saying “Napoleon is always right” this shows how Napoleon has failed to keep the oath he had made to Old Major, and now is running a communist regime. This shows how Napoleons idea of equality had completely diminished creating alliance with the humans.…

    I knew the time was coming, but exactly when was still unknown in my mind. I hadn't talked to anyone about it yet, and quite frankly that's the part I was most afraid of. What if no one believed me? They could just tell me i'm crazy or call me a liar, or worse, they could tell Napoleon. Benjamin and I still talked every once in a great while about the plan, but I hadn't heard from him in a while, but he had become a bit more verbal to all the other animals in general.…

    Essay On Power And Corruption In George Orwell's Animal Farm

    This Animal Farm and its authoritarian leader facilitate a severely unethical environment, wherein law changing for one's personal benefit and conversing with the enemy is perfectly fine. Animals are chosen to portray humans in this narrative because during the Russian Revolution "leaders" performed unspeakable acts; acts that people would and should never even think about doing to their fellow man. Napoleon and his minion pig, Squealer successfully replicate these acts by manipulating the lesser intelligent animals to believe in Napoleon's superiority. Secretly both the ladder and former have worked together to become an oppressive, sorry excuse for a government institution to extremely hardworking. Napoleon eventually strays very far from the base idea that all animals are equal which was established by the wisest of the pigs. The makeshift Stalin says, "...all animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others."(Orwell…

    Boxer's Role In Animal Farm

    His motto is "I will work harder " and "Napoleon is always right". However, we could also call him innocent and naïve. He blindly trusts Napoleon without a second thought which only made it easier for Napoleon to manipulate them and do whatever he wanted to. In short, Boxer helped Animal farm develop, but he also brought it to its doom. Sadly, he only realized what was going on when he was being brought to his death,…

    Mass Apathy vs. Indivisual Evil

    In George Orwell’s novel, Animal Farm, Napoleon is depicted as a fearless, persuasive leader that his animals follow blindly. But how is it that he became leader? The animals acknowledged that he was the one most capable, the one that knew most about the world. The society of animals chose to give Napoleon the power. He aimlessly became a symbol of freedom. Symbol of hope. If a leader is able to spark an intended goal or hope in a mass of lost people, bestowed upon him will be the society’s trust. Once trust is in someone else’s hands, apathy arises. Too much apathy.…

    Napoleon's Integrity

    Often through his influential representative, Squealer, Napoleon routinely lies to the unintelligent animals. For instance, he alters the story of the Battle of the Cowshed to paint himself as a heroic figure. In actuality Napoleon accomplishes nothing remarkable during the battle, but Squealer later convinces the other animals otherwise: “Do you not remember… [how] when panic was spreading and all seemed lost, that Comrade Napoleon sprang forward with a cry of ‘Death to Humanity!’ and sank his teeth in Jones’s leg?” (81). Although Napoleon commands his followers’ admiration, he does not deserve that respect, for he obtains it deceitfully. He also conceals his own shortcomings by persuading the other animals to blame Snowball, whom he banished from Animal Farm, for all of the farm’s misfortunes. “Whenever anything went wrong it became usual to attribute it to Snowball” (78). By slandering Snowball, Napoleon deviously establishes himself among the other animals as the only fitting leader for Animal Farm. Admittedly, one instance of Napoleon’s trickery averts an attack on the farm when food supplies run low. “Napoleon was well aware of the bad results that might follow if the real facts of the food situation were known, and he decided to make use of Mr. Whymper to spread a contrary impression” (75). Though misleading the neighboring farmers proves advantageous in that instance, Napoleon’s…

    “Wolves” Ulrich said under his breath. They both look at each other in fear. There was a long moment of silence. Georg broke the silence with a loud scream for help. “Shut your mouth!” Ulrich yelled “they might not find us if we’re quiet.” There was another long moment of silence until they herd whimpers and cries from the wolves. They looked at each other, both confused, both knowing they were thinking the same thing from their facial expression. Both laid silently.…

    Checks And Balances In Animal Farm

    Imagine living in a society where you are brainwashed into believing something is good, where you are forced to follow someone who is addicted to power. A society where you have no say, but you think that is okay. On Animal Farm, that is reality. The animals rebelled against the humans on their farm and took over, everything was good at first, but soon, the pigs became power hungry. They needed to be in charge, and Napoleon, the leader, became so attached to his power, he was willing to sacrifice other animals life, to simply stay in charge.…

    The Struggle For Ignorance In George Orwell's Animal Farm

    To explain, Napoleon determined that he had to banish Snowball, a former comrade, out of the farm by using the dogs as a threat. Not only was Snowball mortified, so were the animals by seeing this display of authority, much like they had experienced with Farmer Jones. The author states, “Silent and terrified, the animals crept back into the barn. In a moment the dogs came bounding back… Though not yet full-grown, they were huge dogs, and as fierce-looking as wolves. It was noticed that they wagged their tails to him in the same way as the other dogs has been used to do to Mr. Jones” (pg. 53). Napoleon uses the dogs as a way to scare the animals and this represents how desperate Napoleon was to gain power, and how desperate he is now to change the animal's’ point of view into seeing Snowball as a bad influence. This is shown by how Napoleon uses the scare tactic against the animals and their beliefs. As a way to influence the animals to think against Snowball, Napoleon decided to have a ‘show’ of various animals owning up to horrendous crimes that all tied back to Snowball. This ‘show’ leaves a scene that is cold-blooded, all caused by his nine dogs. Orwell writes, “Napoleon stood sternly surveying his audience; then he uttered a high-pitched whimper… When they had finished their confession, the dogs promptly tore their throats out, and in a terrible voice Napoleon demanded whether any other animals had anything to confess” (pg. 83-84). The pig turned to horrible acts of violence in order to remind the animals of his control and to prevent rebellions against him. Such a decision caused mixed feelings of doubt and hurt among the animals, and such feelings can even influence Napoleon into taking possibly more drastic measures and induce more harm to the citizens of the farm. Furthermore, after the hens refused to cooperate with Napoleon’s request of taking their eggs…
