    Orwell’s Animal Farm has some scenes containing violence. These violent scenes not only progress the plot but also have a hidden message. Battles, killings, and misfortune are all a hidden message, pertaining to historical allusions, allusions specifically relating to the events in Russia in the early 20th century. The Battle of Cowshed, a violent scene in which a sheep is killed, a pig is grazed by a gun, and a horse fights against a defenseless human, all serve for one purpose, to give…

    In just about every case, Socialism devolves into dictatorships, and a lack of freedoms, (Which is exactly why Animal Farm was “founded”, because of the mistreatment and slavery of animals by humans.) A dictatorship, however, is exactly what Animal Farm became. In the 6th Chapter(?), George Orwell states, “All that year the animals worked like slaves. But they were happy in their work; they grudged no effort or sacrifice, well aware that everything they did was for the benefit of themselves and…

    constitution is the advantage of the selfish leaders. These citizens are not perfectly aware of the provisions in the constitution and even if manipulation or altering of these occurs, the change will go unnoticed. This is the exact case in the farm, because some animals cannot read, and therefore, Muriel the literate goat read for them. Squealer represents the media that has no freedom but only reports fabricated stories from those in power. It is saddening that the citizens do not scrutinize…

    Connector and researcher I connected Animal Farm to the Holocaust. I think that they are similar in many ways. The first connection was between the Jewish people and Mr. Jones. In order to make the perfect world (or farm) they thought they had to get rid of these people. When it turned out that they were wrong and they were not bad people at all. After the animals had been taken over by the pigs having Mr. Jones back was probably not the worst thing in the world. Another thing they had in…

    As someone who has read "Animal Farm", I knew Orwell's advancing explanation as to why he writes. Napoleon and the dogs were the largest giveaways to their real-world parallels. As a writer myself, though, the title caused me to ponder why I write. Upon completing the prose, I reread the section where Orwell provides us with a brief description of common reasons to write. Before this piece, I never asked myself why I wrote-- all I needed to know was that I truly enjoyed it and I have been doing…

    “political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable. During times of universal deceit telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” Communism, on its own, turned it’s back on the soul principles it was once based on. The animals in George Orwell’s book represent that very concept. Joseph Stalin took Karl Marx’s own notion and twisted out of contexts a lot like American media does to public and private affairs. Stalin’s phrase “Of course, there are small…
