    Their messages are both similar as they both serve as a caution against tyranny and as a caution for not speaking up against tyranny. The method in delivering these messages are both similar as they both have a character that did nothing to speak up against tyranny. Niemoller’s poem had a narrator that said, I didn't speak up because I wasn’t a Communists, a Jew, a Catholic, etc. The narrator also said there was no one left to speak up by the time they came for him. George Orwell’s Animal Farm had a character named Benjamin, who was more educated than the rest of the animals due to his ability to read.…

    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 . For the animals in Animal Farm it was the idea of living free of human rule that made them fight to the Death to capture and protect their new freedom. For Guy Montag in Fahrenheit 451 it was the pursuit of knowledge that made him give everything he held dear.…

    This quote from Animal Farm ties into the theme because in the attempt to strive for assiduous balance, the individual rights are sacrificed. By creating this motto or form of propaganda, the dystopia starts to be developed. The animals slowly start to be able to take away thought with the justification of proportionate freedoms. Overall, both novels tie into the theme that often trying to enforce equality in society jeopardizes individual thoughts and…

    In Animal Farm one of the symbols is the barn in which the principles of Animalism are written, the barn represents the ideals and memories of the society that inhabits Animal Farm (and therefore the collective ideals of a communist society). There are many scenes in the novel which show the ruling Pigs altering the writing on the barn and this causes confusion within the rest of the animals, however this just shows Orwell’s interpretation of how the ruling upper class is able to change and revise a communities outlook with much ease as even though the working class animals question the changes, they are willing to accept them with no qualms, for example the scene in chapter 8 in which the commandment reading “No animal shall kill any other animal” changes to “No animal shall kill any other animal without cause” and the rest of the working animals blame the change on the weakness of their own memory – collectively agreeing that they must have just forgotten the last two words. These changes show a flaw in society as those in charge are able to depersonalize the individuals in classes below them and use these powers to oppress and control a nation’s identity by fostering a power to make people share the same memories. A similar symbol in Of Mice and Men is the Farm that George often tells Lennie about. This is both the most seductive and powerful symbol in the novel as it attracts not only the attention of Lennie but also that of Candy and Crooks.…

    The book and the movie had a plethora of things in common, but I found some differences in the movie and the book. The movie missed some key aspects from the book that made the book give the reader more sense of the characters and a better sense of emotion. Despite the differences, there were more things in common between the movie and the book rather than more differences like most books that turn into movies. However, whether if it was the book or the movie, I still ended up awfully sad and aggravated with everything in both the movie and the book. Contrasting from the book and the movie, the movie missed some key scenes from the book.…

    In Animal Farm, the prevailing ideology that controls the farm is the philosophy of Animalism. The seeds of Animalism were planted in the minds of the pigs after Old Major’s rebellion-inciting speech at the beginning of the story. Napoleon and a few of the other pigs then crafted the philosophy of Animalism as it exists throughout most of the story. Eventually, the pigs simplify the philosophy into seven rules, called the Seven Commandments. The Seven Commandments include important truths such as “Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy”…

He never gave them a chance to explain themselves and in the end left everyone of them as nothing. Napoleon as a leader thought he was more superior than others.…
