Boxer Rebellion

Anderson dedicates this novel to? In my opinion to resist in the world of Feed would actually be futile. That society is too far gone for anything short of a miracle or another nuclear war to fix. The small rebellion that Violet had and the even smaller resistance of Titus achieved nothing but self-gratification. To make even a small change in that world would take something humongous. However, would it be worth it to resist the chain events that allowed for…

Whether it was the Boxer rebellion or the reform of 1898, Dapeng continued on the same course of philosophy while the Chinese government struggled to find harmony towards its transition into the modern age. In regards to the Chinese culture Confucianism is rooted in the history…

an unfair dystopia. “Boxer passed it off as usual with "Napoleon is always right!", but Clover, who thought she remembered a definite ruling against beds, went to the end of the barn and tried to puzzle out the Seven Commandments which were inscribed there. Finding herself unable to read more than individual letters, she fetched Muriel.” This quote comes from right after the animals find out the pigs are sleeping in beds and using the farmhouse, as you can see animals like Boxer (Horse) pass up…

than them; their main purpose is to provide the rulers with whatever they need such as food and services to complete their luxurious lives as totalitarian leaders. It is important to highlight the fact that there was class stratification before the rebellion took place as well as afterwards. The humans, who were the so called masters, represented the higher class and all the animals on the farm represented a lower class who was unified against the common enemy, humans. However, once the animals…

milking, an ironic parallel that reveals the corruption of the revolution, and displays that the pigs are no better than humans” (10). Later in the book, some of the food has gone missing, and the animals find out the pigs had taken it. During the rebellion, the pigs had misrepresented what major’s dream was about. “If the other animals had had the sense to put their foot down then it would have been all right, and Major’s dream could have been realized” (Peters 132).
