Boxer Rebellion

” Because of America’s expansion it created social tensions between Spain and America. McKinley stated “there was nothing left for us to do but take them all” (Doc3). In the 1900’s the boxer rebellion occurred in which Chinese citizens protested the open door policy. Because of America’s expansion, many rebellions and wars came from it. America’s determined mindset drove them forward to acquire more influence in foreign areas. Imperialism caused many political problems. Henry Cabot Lodge stated…

occur in the book to the actual history of the soviet history ( ). One specific time this happens is when Boxer is sent away to a “hospital” that turns out to be a glue factory. David Gerrard says “Just what part of Soviet history corresponds to this?” and refers to the incident as “pathetic” (pen.org). Another challenge of the book is that some people feel an “intense desire to shout “Rebellion” (Huffingtonpost). This “rebellious” vibe that the book naturally gives off is exactly what caused…

Upon first glance, the reader of Animal Farm would think that it is a story about farm animals taking over their farm and struggling to maintain an equal leadership. However, a deeper analysis of the novel would reveal a more allegorical connection to the Russian Revolution. From the autocratic leadership of the pigs resembling the dictatorship of the Russian Revolution, to the leaders of the farm trying to stop the spread of Animalism, and the working animals resembling the working class,…

shall wear clothes, no animal shall sleep in a bed, no animal shall drink alcohol, no animal shall kill any other animal, and all animals are equal. Although the work on the farm is laborious, all the animals are more than happy to take part in it. Boxer is a very hard worker and always says the phrase “I will work harder.” Instead of working on Sundays, the animals gather together and attend a meeting to plan for the following week. Even though Snowball and Napoleon disagree on many subjects,…

significance, similar to the working class of the Soviet Union. After the rebellion, which represents the Russian Revolution, the animals anticipate an exponentially better life consisting of bigger rations, proper care, and a society with no social classes and equality among all animals, similar to communism. The pigs, who naturally become the leaders, create a list of commandments that sum up the ideals of Animalism, which represents…

George Orwell utilized animals as his form of people in the book Animal Farm. There were horses, dogs, birds, chickens, and pigs. The one horse I really remember from the book was Boxer who was extremely hard working, pretty easy to manipulate and overall a lovable character. Then there are the dogs which at first were innocent puppies but were later turned to heel biting dogs. The main bird in this story is Moses and all he did was talk about sugar mountain which is a place above the clouds.…

Each had his own following, and there were some violent debates. At the Meetings Snowball often won over the majority by his brilliant speeches, but Napoleon was better at canvassing support for himself in between times. He was especially successful with the sheep. Of late the sheep had taken to bleating ‘Four legs good, two legs bad’ both in and out of season, and they often interrupted the Meeting with this. It was noticed that they were especially liable to break into ‘Four legs good,…

and both of their inabilities to rule a society. Old major dream represents Karl Marx communist manifesto and his political philosophy on communism. Most of the other animals in the farm represented the workers and peasants of Russia, particularly Boxer and clover, which embodied the roles of the working class. They worked hard, where loyal, but clearly lacked philosophical direction. Moses “the raven” represented the Russian Orthodox Church. He flew around talking about a place called Candy…

Through these institutions that the pigs create, they observe the different levels of instruction that the other animals retain and place them in certain necessary positions in society to work under the most educated classes. Even right after the Rebellion the pigs are described as not doing any of the actual farm work, but instead they “supervise” the other animals when the humans are retracted from the bigger picture. They are the ceremonial figureheads of Animal Farm initiating new ideas and…

Animal Farm Animal Farm is a book by George Orwell. It takes place in a farm in England called the Manor Farm. The book is unspecific in the time it takes place in and even the exact place itself. This is most likely because George Orwell wants the book to be more relatable, so the book could take place in the past, present, or the future. The book explores what it would be like if animals took over and became in charge rather than man. One day the animals become fed up with the dictatorship…
