Napoleon's Letter To Animal Farm

Improved Essays
Tell me, comrades, do you want our farm to succeed? Do you want us to prosper? Do you want us to be free? What you saw in that room was the beginning of an alliance created with the humans. Our obstinate leader, Napoleon, came up with the brilliant idea in order for us to achieve our goals. Our farm will no longer be, to humans, the ignominious mess they once thought—we will be seen as the preeminent farm we have worked so hard to become. With this new alliance, I can promise you all that our farm’s revenue and food supply will increase, we will have more space for anything we wish once we get outside those gates, and trust me, trust me, we will no longer have to possess the worry of a war in the back of our minds. Nobody likes starving to …show more content…
I am here to tell you that this is not the case! If any betrayal were to happen, I can assure you our comrade, Napoleon, will already be prepared to crush the war before it starts. Humans have a large brain and great thinking capabilities, it wouldn’t be smart to end this truce with us. Humans are very complex and not all bad. Just like us, they have different personalities, dreams, and desires. With these different attributes, can it not be concluded that not all of us should be equal? Sure, we pigs and humans may be a little better than you are because we stand on two legs and are much smarter, but the rest of you are equal and will remain so. We deserve to be higher since we are the intelligent animals sacrificing our time to ensure everyone is happy, no matter how tiring it is. As stated before, we must get rid of this idea that all humans are evil. They will help us with our food and economic problems, they will give us more social experiences outside of this tiny farm, and they will ensure that our alliance will bring peace between humans and animals of every kind. You should all be grateful that our leader, Napoleon, is doing this for all of us to ensure our happiness. We must stop this hatred for the interest of our families and the great place which we reside in: Manor

    After reading Animal Farm by George Orwell, the reader can conclude that the pigs use rhetoric to manipulate the other animals in many certain ways. Ethos, pathos, and logos are the three rhetoric strategies that the pigs use. Animal Farm represents the “Russian Revolutionary War”. The three pigs all impersonate someone different in the war.

    In the days following the encounter with the human farmers, the animals attempted to continue work as usual. Rations were low and conditions were harsh, but they found comfort in each other. Things were almost seeming to look up, until one day tragedy struck. Squealer had called the animals together in the main barn for some announcements, one of which was that a few animals were having their rations reduced yet again. Everyone was outraged, and it was clear that this was the breaking point for some of the animals who had previously remained silent about their mistreatment.…

    Animal Farm Essay Were the working animals the ones to blame for Napoleon's takeover? The working animals are to blame because they were still working for him even after he chased off Snowball and made them work like slaves. Some people might disagree because the animals do not know better, Napoleon was the one who brainwashed them on doing whatever he wants and they believe him because he is smarter. Napoleon makes the animals work like slaves and let’s the pigs have special treatment because they are smarter. Even though they know this is wrong they still work for him.…

    “Miss Caroline he is a Cunningham”. These words were spoken in the famous novel “To Kill a Mockingbird”. They are relevant because Scout was categorizing one of the children based on their social status and many animals treat each other differently depending on the class they belong to. In the novel “Animal farm”, by George Orwell, the author proves members of society will be treated differently based on their social status. There are four different classes: ruler, high, medium and low class.…

    Do you ever want someone who will treat you fairly and not make up any crazy rules for you to follow, then you should vote for Snowball. He will protect the rights for the animals better than anyone else. I believe Snowball will be the best for animal farm because of all the ideas he can come up with, like his idea for the windmill. Snowball will not take things from the animals, like milk from the cows or eggs from the chickens.

    While non-human animals devote most of their time to satisfy instinctual needs, humans have the ability to write intricate pieces of literary fiction or thinking about what party candidate best represents their ideology and social needs. Why should we extend the principle of equality to non-human animals if there are a plethora of differences between the humankind and other species? Peter Singer argues that there “is no barrier to the case of extending the basic principle of equality to nonhuman animals” (Singer, 1989, p. 149), for the differences between humans and other animals can be addressed by providing different treatment and rights to the needs of each group. When Singer says that we need to extend the basic principle of equality, he specifies that he will consider this principle to be equality of consideration. What the author means is that we ought not to give greater weight to the interests of one group over…

    His blind devotion towards Napoleon only increases the destruction of freedom and equality when Boxer, “caught a dog in mid-air, and pinned him to the ground […] looked [towards] Napoleon to know whether he should crush the dog to death or let it go” (83). Napoleon caused pain to the other animals by using violence such as the dogs which breaks freedom and equality; however, despite this, Boxer listens to Napoleon’s orders. The rise of a rebellion against Napoleon was not impossible, but with Boxer’s devotion to him, it seemed to be. Even after Boxer’s obvious death, the two maxims he constantly used “I will work harder,” and “Comrade Napoleon is always right” were manipulated into words of motivation for the animals (125). With Boxer’s usual motivation, all of the things changing did not seem strange to the other animals, yet those changed items slowly but surely broke the freedom and equality.…
