Activity 3.1-Chronicling Convict Transportation in Song Primarily in the late 18th century Britain began to drift from public executions and adopted a new form of punishment most commonly known as transportation and or imprisonment. This method emulated the out of sight out of mind philosophy that sent thousands of convicted criminals for a wide array of crimes to Britain colonies, such as Australia. This change evaluated the criminal justice system methodology of punishing subordinates and adopted psychological hardship over physical pain and torture. Both imprisonment and transportation stripped criminals of their rights, their independence, their family, friends, and congregated all criminals into one densely populated area.…

Animal Farm is an allegory as it has parallels to the Soviet Union and the possibility of totalitarianism. The phrase in the book "All animals are equal but some are more equal than others" is a good satire on the facade of equality that communism in Russia at the time had.

The farm goes from a monarchy, to communist government, to a totalitarian government, resulting in Napoleon, the head pig, having complete control over everything in the farm. In the end, the communist idealist pigs turn into just what they had overthrown, and the rest of the animals could no longer tell them apart from the humans.…

Through creating fear within the animals Squealer was able to make the animals abide by what he was saying, creating a very unsettling and fearful atmosphere for the animals to live in this can be seen through the continuous repetition of this phrase "Surely there is no one among you who wants to see Jones come back" (Orwell, 23). This phrase allows Squealer to be able to quickly grasp the attention of the animals since this is the utmost worst scenario that the animals would want to be in. For this reason, whenever Squealer mentions this phrase the animals give into whatever Squealer is…
