Come to Me

Big John was a young, strong and intelligent dark colored bull that found work on the walls protecting the farm from the fabled human attack, in the beginning of his work John thought this was a good cause he thought the attack might come and he would be called a hero for fighting the humans and protecting the farm; as the months past he lost this idea and grew to know the truth, the humans were not going the attack the farm. This realization gave him malaise towards his leaders and…

In this essay I will critically review chapter three: Sharing Suffering, Instrumental relations between laboratory animals and their people by Donna Haraway from her book “When Species Meet”. I will be analyzing the main arguments that Haraway presents throughout the chapter. I will identify the evidence used to support her argument and also identify the limits of the chapter. I intend to identify connections between this chapter and the article “Cyclone Pam from the field, Adapting to climate…

Surrounded by open land and quite enough to hear the birds from afar I sit on my front porch swing with my dog beside me. As I look at him, I remember why I work so hard at school and think about how my compassion towards animals has led me to become so interested in the well being of animals. Because of the situation that we went through, it became clear to me that I not only had an interest, but a passion for helping animals when hurting or ill and that I would love to do everything that I…

In any story centering around power, whether it be historical or fictional, propaganda is a vital aspect. In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, propaganda is used widely and effectively. This story revolves around a group of animals who rebel against their unjust human masters and take over the farm they slaved on, but of course, propaganda plays a big part in the events further on. The mastermind behind so much of this manipulation is the ever talented pig, Mr. Squealer. His efficiency with words is…

well enough there would be no reason to revolt. However, it is easy to tell the dissatisfaction from the animals about Mr. Jones and his lack of filling those requirements. Old Major knows the animals need to make change, and “...that rebellion will come, it might be in a week or in a hundred years” and even if it takes a while “..sooner or later justice will be served”(3). The justice that will be served is that the needs of the animals will be met, along with a perfectly run society. Old…

the two leaders being Napoleon and Snowball. With another pig Squealer, they take charge and form a philosophy called Animalism. Through this, they begin to make laws and rules for all the animals to follow. They must call one another “Comrade” and come to the pigs for every need or question. Some of the animals are still trusting and loyal towards Mr.Jones, yet the pigs reinforce the idea that they are enslaved and should overthrow. Moses, Mr.Jones’ raven, does not participate in the overthrow…

Comparing|Contrasting animal farm with Lord of the Flies: “What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages?” ― William Golding, Lord of the Flies. The speech was said that by one of the boys. What the boy meant by the speech was that they were not able to control themselves so they started acting in a savage way. (I found this quote in goodreads). Animal Farm is about an unspecified Animal farm and Lord of the Flies are both related in savagery, and power. There is Snowball, and Ralph. There is…

broke the eggs, he trampled the seedbeds, he gnawed the bark off the fruit trees. Whenever anything went wrong it became usual to attribute it to Snowball. If a window was broken or a drain was blocked up, someone was certain to say that Snowball had come in the night and done it, and when the key of the store-shed was lost, the whole farm was convinced that Snowball had thrown it down the well.” Snowball did none of these things that Napoleon said he did. He accused Snowball of these bad things…

We experience psychological manipulation on a weekly, maybe even daily basis. Often times it comes from the people that claim to have our well-being at heart and in mind. If you have ever been in this situation, you can understand how Napoleons’ tyrannical tactics and Squealers’ crafty verbiage take a toll on the animals’ emotions and minds. The first sign of Napoleons’ deviousness is in the beginning of the book when the milk goes missing. Someone brings up the point that there is a lot of…

compelling when he wants. He has a certain, eloquent tone when he is giving a speech to the animals. It triggers them to give Squealer their full attention and after listening to his influential words, all of the animals would agree to any words that comes out of his mouth. The other piece Squealer can do is to manipulate the animals to do what Napoleon wants. Squealer is the servant to Napoleon and does what he says, for another quotation when Squealer is manipulating them is “I trust that…
