George Orwell's Animal Farm

Statement of Intention: This is an expository piece in which I will be outlining parts of animal farm which are linked to the context of freedom which is widely and thoroughly outlined in the novel. This piece is targeted to students who are in Year 10, which have also been studying Animal Farm so they can relate their own opinions to mine. The language is rather formal.
Whereas the piece explores concepts of freedom not only from animal farm but also the simple concept of what freedom really is, and a recent example of how a young girl was denied her freedom and when she stood up for it she was nearly killed.
The aim of this piece it to show how freedom is still not available to everybody in the same way, in history after the Russian Revolution

So throughout the story the morals which the animals fought for, such as equality and freedom, begin to disappear as gradually they lose their rights as well as their
He forced them into believing that he was a strong leader who would make the best decisions possible. Slowly Napoleon takes away any opportunities that the animals have to speak up. He does this by firstly making nine threatening dogs apart of his entourage. Soon after he eliminates Sunday meetings and tells the animals he has everything in control and that the time used in the meetings would be more efficiently used if they worked instead but he actually just wants to do this so that the voting process would be finished and all the decisions would be left to Napoleon. From the way in which Napoleon acts it is obvious he does not care for the welfare of the animals, he only cares about himself and gaining full authority and power of the farm. This is especially shown when he starts doing business with humans just to make more money, which goes against everything that Old Major and the other animals stood for. By having Napoleon in power the animals are declined of their
