Animal Farm Movie And Book Comparison

Decent Essays
George Orwell’s Animal Farm shares several similarities with the novel's film. Although both versions follow the same storyline, differences were present. A few of the similarities shown between the novel and film are how Boxer's death was portrayed, the speech Old Major gave and Mr. Jones' departure from the farm. After Old Major's death, the animals decided to carry out the plan for the Rebellion. A major of this plan was to remove Mr. Jones and his men off the farm; which the animals successfully completed. There's no way the Rebellion movement could've been tweaked because that's what made Animal Farm what it became. Along with similarities, there were differences such as the way Old Major died, Jessie attacking Jones, the group of farmers

    Here's a question what is something that you would risk your life for to prevent it from getting taken away? To stand up to the ruling powers in society to protect a belief you hold dear. For many people it would be a loved one, a prized possession, or an infraction on your unalienable rights as specified by our Founding Fathers .

    Aside from the obvious species differences in the characters of Animal Farm and 1984 (animals and humans), the characters of both books offer an interesting comparison.

O’Brien in particular offers a good contrast to Napoleon. Both the pig and the man share the dubious characteristic of hiding behind an identity that promotes hope among the masses. O’Brien pretends to be a member of a secret resistance society, the Brotherhood, and easily fools Winston and Julia into trusting him, ultimately sealing their doom. Napoleon is less subtle, but all of rights…
