    xThe pigs were able to rise to power fairly easily through their imposition of propaganda to alter the animals’ thoughts and actions to the pigs’ favor. The pigs come to resemble humans, the last sign of their total dominance so the farm continues to run as it had for years, still ridden with oppressive leaders. The tale shows that a revolution does not always bring great change or a better outcome because the story does not end in a resolution or promise of a revolution. The idea of propaganda being implemented by a leader in order to rise to power is a theme that recurs throughout history, but as a teacher points out not only in governments.…

    Orwell's 'Animal Farm' is an allegory because it represents Stalin's rise to power in Russia. His dictatorship to the people of Russia is how Napoleon treated the animals on the farm. Napoleon the pig represents Joseph Stalin, the dictating leader of the Soviet Union. Napoleon tricked the other animals into believing he was the only one that wanted the best for them. He slowly brought the farm from a more equal state to a state where he was considered and treated as a king. He also murdered any of the animals who opposed him or stood in his way, without trial. Stalin did the same by consolidating power and expanding the limits of his role. He eliminated anyone who tried to oppose him. He organized a massive purge where "enemies" were imprisoned,…

    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.…

    Certainly the ramifications of oppression and absolute authority are outrage and this is conveyed throughout Animal Farm. Old Major tries to convince them that the reason behind their servitude and despair is Man, because Major believes that "Man is the only real enemy [they] have" (Orwell 7). Through expressing his anger, Major criticizes the fact that Man does not lay eggs or give milk, "yet he is the lord of all animals" (Orwell 8). It is clear-cut that the animals are affected by Major's speech which urges them to obtain their freedom. Major's point of view is that "all men are enemies. All animals are comrades" (Orwell 10). From here, the reader can deduce that Old Major represents V. I. Lenin, the leader of the Bolshevic Party that seized…

    The greatest flaw people have is selfishness because when people are selfish, they don’t acknowledge the suffering of others. A selfish person is someone who “only think[s] about what[‘s] in it for them” but not how it is affecting other people (Cooper). When someone acts selfishly, they take what they want, and don’t see what they are taking from others. When people don’t acknowledge their selfishness they can hurt people in order to get what they want. In Animal Farm, the pigs are eating all the apples and milk, and all the other animals don’t get to eat them. The pigs are selfish and their selfishness is causing the other animals to be unhappy because they want the apples and milk too, but the pigs are selfishly taking it all. When the pigs…

    Many conceptions of conformity swarm about, One being that it’s a shield in which people can hide. Others assume that nonconformity is the only way that the world will advance. In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, these issues are explored through the characters “the sheep” and “the dogs.” Throughout the book the sheep were mindless followers of Napoleon the tyrant of their farm symbolizing the unappreciated working class during czarist Russia . Along with the sheep, the dogs were napoleon’s ruthless killers snatched away from their parents at birth.On the opposite end of the spectrum lies a man named Derek Reynolds who is portrayed in the movie Save The Last Dance as an underprivileged, black, college bound student faced with many trails of opposition.The truth is whether or not you believe that to conform or to not conform…

    “As Stalin once said ‘a single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic’.” In George Orwell's Animal Farm, Napoleon is directly described because Stalin and Napoleon were both extremely paranoid and killed their own people to stay in power. Animal Farm is an allegorical story that symbolizes the Russian Revolution meaning that all the characters and battles represent the real people and events that lived and occurred during this time. Since Animal Farm is an allegory, there is extreme personification going on because the animals talk and plan like people do. With that said the plot of Animal Farm revolves around all of the hardships that Napoleon caused throughout his leadership. Therefore, George Orwell forecasted that power can be a corruptive force through Napoleon's manipulative…

    In Animal Farm by George Orwell there are two key chapters that can be compared. In chapter two it is the morning after the rebellion and the animals are overjoyed. “They woke at dawn” shows the beginning of a new day, this creates a sense of hope and represents the start of their new life without humans. However in chapter seven it is the night of the slaughters and the reader can see the caparison between the time of day when Orwell says “gilded by the level rays of the sun” This shows the sun is setting on Animals Farm and represents the end of their hopes and dreams. There is also a difference between Orwell’s word choice in both chapters, in chapter two the animals “raced” “rushed” and “hurled” portraying their excitement, enthusiasm and…
