Animal Farm Chapters 1-5 Old Major is a 12 year old pig who wants all humans to be destroyed. He believes that the humans harm the animals way too much and should be no more. He even has a dream that the humans don’t even exist anymore on earth. Snowball is a very determined animal to be just like Old Major and have his way of thinking. He wants to be a leader to all the animals to make them better physically and intellectually. He is definitely the smarter one of the bunch and knows what he…

Animal Farm by George Orwell is, as you know, is on the banned and challenged list. I can’t begin to understand the logic behind this. So, maybe in a Communist country or a place with Islam as a major religion this would be more offensive. But, to a country where Islam is a minority, and communism is not in practice? No, I think not. Animal Farm is being challenged because people think it puts communist leaders in a bad light. Why does that matter in America? In a country founded on freedom,…

more importantly, it is a clear illustration of Napoleon’s thirst for power due to his intention to indoctrinate the young pigs on how ideal a leader he is. Furthermore, when the animals are informed that Boxer (a horse which works tirelessly for the farm throughout his life) is brought to receive suitable treatment for his injury, but unknowingly is brought away to be butchered, one recognizes that Napoleon would do whatever to safeguard his “compassionate” image of a leader - falsifying the…

Just as humans, dictators are not born evil but are influenced enough to gain power and abuse it. If one has the power to control all, then they could use it to their own advantage. Stories such as Macbeth by William Shakespeare and Animal Farm by George Orwell illustrate how such characters like Macbeth and Napoleon rise to power to use it for themselves as similarity to dictators like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini. By doing this, dictators blind the eyes of the people by…

Animal Farm by George Orwel and The Boy In The Striped Pajamas by John Boynare are a kind of books which I will reread over and over again throughout my whole life, because every time my understanding and of them will be different. Both books are wide open to the reader's imagination and have humongous amounts of symbols in them, which could be comprehended as different things depending on the reader's beliefs and previous general/historical knowledge. Even though, the two books are completely…

text, Animal Farm, one such animal who followed blindly and was unable to see recognise the evil intentions of Napoleon was Boxer (Orwell, 1945). He showed how when followers do not step up to evil leaders, they suffer from toxic leadership. From the book, the Art of Followership, I understood how followers like Boxer in the bid to become good followers must “speak truth to power”. Boxer could have become a heroic follower and saved Napoleon from his own death from destroying the old farm.…

In the book “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, a recurring theme is manipulation and deception. Another place this theme occurs is in the world of politics and the effect of politicians themselves. Three good examples of this are Donald Trump, Marion Barry, and Edward Koch. Throughout the book, the pigs lie and confuse the other animals to better their own lives, just as these politicians have done. Napoleon, the leader pig, makes sure to instill fear so everything happens perfectly to his liking.…

Squealer There are a few interesting characters in the novel animal farm, like Boxer, but squealer is my favorite. Squealer has a plausible tongue that could convince anyone to do anything. In addition to being very convincing he is equally clever and has a quick mind. Though squealer is the antagonist he is my favorite because he could persuade a nun out of her panties within a few minutes. In the novel the others said that squealer could, “turn black into white” meaning he could sway…

This gland produces a hormone called cocamone that allows Fred to taste and enjoy chocolate. He discovered that only puppies that have experienced stress and suffering are able to produce this hormone. Fred thinks that puppies are just…
