Language is used in many ways. It could be used to communicate, express your feelings, persuade people,etc. In the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, language was used to motivate the animals to fight back against the humans.
One way language was used for power would be deceiving others. Squealer’s eating the apples and drinking the milk. The animals start to protest on why he was doing so, since there was a rule made that no one could touch the apples and milk. Squealer then protests that he isn’t “doing this in a spirit of selfishness” but for the animals. He also proclaimed that “many of us actually dislike milk and apples(31).¨ This shows that squealer was tricking the animals
