Why is it so easy to convince people just by using rhetoric language, or propaganda? In the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell, the animals rebelled against Mr. Jones, at first to create an equal society, but slowly the pigs started to gain power, using propaganda and rhetoric language, especially napoleon and squealer. They turned the perfect, equal society into an unequal society, almost coming back to the point when Mr. Jones was here, just with a different leader.

Here, Squealer turns all the opinions of the animals the other way, making them think it’s not a privilege, but a miss fortune. That is why, again, I think that Squealer is very important in the role of power take over, and that without the pigs might not have had all these
