Euphemism

How is propaganda used as a means of control? Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, published in 1945, is an allegory about the Russian Revolution which saw a Communist government come to power in Russia. In his novella, Orwell uses the rebellion of the animals on Animal Farm to satirise totalitarianism. Orwell demonstrates that propaganda is an important device used by the pigs to control the other animals and to maintain their power. It is used by Squealer to manipulate the animals…

The investigators interviewed Mary Jane Kelly’s former lover, several of her neighbors, and various other people claiming to have interacted with her in the hours that led up to the horrific event. Nonetheless, no viable leads were discovered from any of the interviews that could help to uncover who could have been in the room at the time of the ghastly murder. Conflicting witness statements and a bungled investigation of the crime scene created more questions than answers. What investigators,…

included Gas chambers, medical experiments, and torture. One thing important thing to realize is gas chambers were one of methods of executions used. The nazi began experiment with poison gas for the purpose of mass murder in late 1939. The naziu euphemism is reffered to the system killings of the germans whom they thought were “unworthy of life”. The gassing was installed to be part of euthanasia program. These killing centers used pure chemical manufactured carbon monoxide gas. The nazi…

the narrator truly do represent the universe and the history made by those oppressors; without his people being born into this low social standing, those with privilege would have nothing - their world would fall apart. The author’s use of this euphemism creates room for multiple meanings. This reflects upon the overarching themes of race and power. The narrator’s “generations wasting upon the water” also could be connected to him as his grandfather left him with parting words on how to fend for…

The value of love can be seen in contrasting yet similar positions based on the underlying theme of a passage. In the three passages from the Canterbury Tales, Chaucer describes love differently through the viewpoint of each speaker in relation to the nature of the rules of courtly love, utilizing diction, juxtaposition and multiple rhetorical devices to emphasize the idea of submission between the lovers involved. ((The tale of the knight, the miller, and the wife of bath are similar despite…

is the culture of cities. Cities all over the world, past and present, have behaviors and cultural elements that separate them from otherwise comparable rural areas. In the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada "urban" is often used as a euphemism to describe hip hop culture or subsets of black culture; being these defined groups as a type of urban tribe. Hence names for cultural artifacts like urban music could be seen as a new term for "Race music". It can also refer to the greater…

Orwell's major points is that the great enemy of clear language is insincerity (Hopkinson, 2013). The insincerity of the writer perpetuates the decline of the language as people particularly politicians attempt to disguise their intentions behind euphemisms and convoluted phrasing. As Orwell says that this decline is self-perpetuating. He takes it as poor English since the language is in decline. And as the language declines, "foolish" thoughts become even easier, reinforcing the original cause.…

George Orwell’s scathing dystopian novel, Animal Farm, is a poignant warning to all people who desire to live in an inherently free society. Through this novel, Orwell warns about the inherently selfish nature of man and the responsibility of the individual in government. He juxtaposes that, although dictatorial rulers are not inherently corrupt, they will become so if they are not monitored by the people. He also enunciates on the duty of free citizens to take responsibility in government.…

The reader does not know exactly what Hyde is involved in except for the vague incident of him 'trampling' a child (which is seen by some critics as a euphemism for child prostitution5) and the murder of Carew. Except for the latter, Jekyll does not seem to show remorse. In fact, he mentions that at first he did not feel…
