    Additionally he also uses Ethos to get his point across. When it was discovered that Snowball was coming to the farm at night, Squealer had to make sure they thought it was him. “Snowball was in league with Jones from the very start!”(55). This is a good example because even though some of the animals disagree, Squealer continues to push the idea. By this he shows that even with doubt, he makes their disagreements dissolve away. During the…

    Boxer helps other animals' work even though he is tired, thanks to his big muscles. However, there are also animals that don't work like Molly the white horse or cats. If Boxer was selfish, every animal would have done their work. I would like to make this into a story where every animal works equally.…

The animal he picked to represent them is the cart horse Boxer (LitCharts.com).…

    Language can control and manipulate situations in many ways. In the book "Animal Farm" situations are twisted and turned around with the use of language and propaganda, thus being done so by a pig named Squealer. Propaganda is information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. Squealer can talk his way out of everything, but why he can do this is because of his outstanding use of clear and precise language.…

    Norman Mailer Analysis

    • 570 Words
    • 3 Pages

    When retelling his eye witness experience, Mailer states that "Griffith was in like a cat ready to rip the life out of a huge boxed rat". This simile illustrates the horror that commonly occurs in the boxing ring and that such animalistic desires of boxers tend to overtake all rationality. During the violent beating, "Griffith making a pent-up whimpering sound..." emphasizing the moment as one of pure brutality, with sounds like an illegal cage fight between animals. Further similes describe the vicious beating of Paret, such as, "the right whipping like a piston rod which has broken through the crankcase, or the like a baseball bat demolishing a pumpkin". The choice of figurative language leaves readers with a sense of disgust at the carnage inside the ring. While boxing is a form of entertainment, Mailer clearly contrasts the differences between the amusement of sports to the reality of brutality. While it isn't clearly stated, the author leaves his experience as a wakeup call for the people who enjoy boxing with such vehemence that they cannot realize the difference between fighting and massacring.…

    George Will’s diction prognosticates the uncivilized decorum in boxing matches. He uses words such as “banged” and “beaten up” to evoke a sense of pity for the boxers. He uses these words of harsh consequences to depict the downright brutal sense of boxing today. A recurring theme is prevalent in Will’s writing; he says that watching boxing and such acts of violence are injurious and perilous to ones health and should not be viewed for the purpose of hilarity. He even goes on to describe the logistics of the game. He says that it is a nefarious and heinous sport that is a unpleasant for the players themselves, for not only are they completely vulnerable to the punches of others, the padding in the gloves that is supposed to make the punches lighter also further exacerbates them. Will even goes so far as to aver that the audience is given an injurious covetousness for blood by the sport of boxing.…

    He is one of the wisest animals on the farm, and is able to "read as well as any pig".[1] However, this is an ability he does not exercise until the end of the book, when Boxer is sent off to the Knackers and Benjamin reads the side of the truck and one more time when an illiterate friend asks him to read the public display of the Seven Commandments, as they seem to have changed (because of years of revisions by the pigs); Benjamin reveals that the Commandments now consist entirely of the message "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others". For all his age, he is never given the option of retirement. The only outrage that inspires him into action is the pigs' betrayal of Benjamin's best…
