Most books usually convey a message to their audience. For example, many dystopian novels convey how not to govern, how not to behave as a society. Some of the novels are based on real events, real societies and governments that existed when the book was written, like communist regimes for instance. Two of the most famous dystopian novels are Animal Farm and 1984. Surely, these two books have a lot in common like how both books were set in England, written by George Orwell, and based on the…

George Orwell, author of the political satire, Animal Farm, once said, “[I]f thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.” Language, as Orwell comprehends, can be used as a written or spoken tool to express thoughts and gain support.

Cruel, unfair and depressing. Yet holding bundles of meaning. Animal Farm: A Fairy Story by George Orwell is one allegorical novella that I will remember for the rest of my life. In this political satire, Orwell elegantly uses simple language to tell a tale of a seemingly regular farm that is thrown into turmoil when the animals revolt against their masters, sick and tired of being mistreated. Anything but a fairy tale, the plot of animal farm is based on the Russian Revolution in the 1900s and…

Gramsci also puts in his essay, “There is no unity between school and life, and so there is no automatic unity between instruction and education” (qtd. Gramsci, 52) The pigs who understand that practical education can cause other animals to cause a rebellion, do provisions to make them literate but not educated.
