Response To George Orwell's Animal Farm

Improved Essays
Animals of Animal Farm, your poor lives are lacking. You’ve been denied so much.
I’ve seen the world outside this cage that horrible pig built, flying the sky on these wings of mine. I know how much that tyrant Napoleon kept from you. The beautiful, simple privileges all animals deserve, that you animals have been deprived of.
There is a mountain in the sky, trust me, covered in sugar and no body works there. Nobody starves. Old Major waits there for us! Surrounded by his children and friends, fattened by the sweets. He sent me to gather his fellow animals and bring us together once more!
Together, I will build a farm worthy of the mountain: a farm full of food, and freed of napoleons lies.

Thanks to that pig that lays bloated in his grave, we starve here on Animal farm. He did not care about you, or me, or any of his faithful workers. And although all the food we could need awaits us on Candy Mountain, Old Major sent me to say that it is not your time to join him. No, now is the time to build back up our home! I have watched you starve for too long. I have seen you cry out in hunger, and like our dear Boxer, I have watched you collapse. I cannot stand by any more. I will not be like napoleon. I am but a crow, I don’t eat

I was once like you. I soared round this farm, I fought for the cause. I pecked at the humans in the Battle of Cow shed. I too, like you, were once deceived. I fell for his words. But then I left the nest and found the truth. I found sugar candy mountain, and spoke to our retired friends. I’ve spied on the humans my whole life! I know them, I can protect you from them! I was that drunkards pet. I know him, I’ve lived with him. Left alone, Mr. Jones will stop at nothing to take over Animal Farm and throw you all in the Crock Pot, a horrible heated place where he will cook and then EAT you! You don’t want that, do you? Let me help you recover from the malicious lies he spun, so you can think for

    In his short episode “Against Meat,” published in the New York Times Magazine in June (2009). By using the life story of an unnamed girl, Jonathan Safran Foer guides us through a journey to demonstrate our relationship with the animals of our planet. Many people struggle with uncovering their beliefs, although merely by looking through a person's past, those items can become more evident. Although Foer writing can be interpreted in different ways, his demonstration of repeating habits supports a sinister effect on others. To understand this girl’s path, one must start with her upbringing.…

    There is no more sunday meetings and all the decisions concerning the farm will be made by a committee of pigs. The animals will meet on sundays to sing “Beasts of England” and receive their orders for the week. None of the other animals are smart enough to come up with any arguments and the dogs growl anytime someone protests. The animals are intimidated by Napoleon and are scared of his bodyguards; the dogs.…

    In this paper, I consider an argument for the conclusion that it is morally permissible to eat humanely farmed meat. This argument is based on Michael Pollan’s argument in the article, “An Animal’s Place”. I will offer an objection to Pollan’s premise that domestication is a natural product of evolution. Then, I will consider a reply to my objection. As a result of this analysis, I hold that Pollan’s argument and thus the proposed argument for the conclusion that it is morally permissible to eat humanely farmed meat will be justified.…

    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. You see Napoleon is trying to take over because he thinks he can fix our problems, when really he is the problem.…

    Adlai E. Stevenson once said “... the truth is often unpopular…” In other words, the truth is often either untold or bent. In this quote, Stevenson is trying to convey that telling the truth is not always the choice that people choose to make. They always try to bend the truth for themselves so that their sense of dignity and pride would not fade away. It shows that being dishonest is more likely to occur than being truthful.…

    This bon mot set the table in a roar; and Mr. Pilkington once again congratulated the pigs on the low rations, the long working hours, and the general absence of pampering which he had observed on Animal Farm. And now, he said finally, he would ask the company to rise to their feet and make certain that their glasses were full. ‘Gentlemen,’ concluded Mr. Pilkington, ‘gentlemen, I give you a toast: To the prosperity of Animal Farm!’…

    As Cover, an old mare, walks around the barn she sees, “Napoleon himself, majestically upright, casting haughty glances from side to side, and his dogs gambolling around him”(132) The animals all now knew that Napoleon isn’t just breaking some of the Commandments, but he is becoming like a human in all of his actions. In, the end of the story, Napoleon and his fellow pigs are no more, but instead they have become complete humans as they play cards, drink beer, and sit at a table to eat with the other farmers. It is not only the actions of the pigs, but their brains and decision making processes have also changed. For example, when Boxer died they sent him to be slaughtered and made into products in order to make more money.…

    In chapter 10, Napoleon shows his superiority because “like all of [his] speeches, it was short and to the point” (137). The pigs were at the highest level in the hierarchy, and practically controlled each of the animals’ footsteps. The next lower level in the hierarchy created by Animal Farm is the working class, referenced to the Russian Revolution, which is comprised of hard-working animals: a male horse, Boxer, a female horse, Clover, and a donkey named Benjamin. They are all strong and loyal, yet uneducated to the point where they can accomplish tasks, but in…
