songs mostly by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Overall I really like this album and would recommend this album to people. The band members in this band are Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison. Ringo played the drums, John played rhythm guitar, Paul played bass and George was lead guitar. Paul Mccartney and John Lennon were the main singers in most of the songs. The Beatles are very well known and were a big hit from…

In the novel 1984, it talks about a society in the future that controls every aspect of life and every little move anyone makes is recorded and documented for the government to see. The saying “Big Brother is watching you” is referred to many times in this book since Big Brother is the leader of The Party and also the one that can be referred to as a god. With the advancement of technology at a steady rate, we may think to ourselves that this world may become what orwell described in his novel…

overall essence of the novel. But due to the level of engagement of Squealer, a character analysis of this character seems most suitable. Squealer, a pig, is the underdog, the messenger, and the public relations officer. This character, as portrayed by George Orwell, is seen repeatedly handling the relations between the animals without political authority and the “leader”, “the father of all animals”, Napoleon. Whenever Napoleon and the pigs seemed to oversee any of the seven commandments,…

Motivated to revolt by Major, an old pig, animals on Mr. Jones' farm grasp Animalism and stage unrest to accomplish a hopeful condition of advancement. A force hungry pig, Napoleon, turns into a totalitarian tyrant who drives the animals into "All Creatures Are Equivalent/However Some Are More Equivalent than others" persecution. Mr. Jones treated all of the animals very…

Looking into the eyes of the traitor. Hate fills every bit of your heart. All you can think is “I want them dead”. These were the type of thoughts that authority figures would think back during the Reign of Terror. The Reign of Terror was a big part of the French Revolution. The Reign of Terror was the killing of hundreds of people who were suspected of committing treason and fighting for Prussia/Austria. Individuals argued if this was justified or in other words if they had a necessary reason…

Orwell’s primary goal in 1984 is to demonstrate the terrifying possibilities of totalitarianism. The reader experiences the nightmarish world that Orwell envisions through the eyes of the protagonist, Winston. His personal tendency to resist the stifling of his individuality, and his intellectual ability to reason about his resistance, enables the reader to observe and understand the harsh oppression that the Party, Big Brother, and the Thought Police institute. Whereas Julia is untroubled and…

1945 was a prime year for novels: Stuart Little, Pippi Longstocking, and The Glass Menagerie were just a few published in this year. The most satirical novel of that year, however, was George Orwell’s Animal Farm. This novel practically dripped with satire; everything from the setting to the types of animals had a double meaning. The most notably parallel characters were Old Major, Snowball, Napoleon, and Pincher. Three out of four of these characters represent communist leaders, and…

only a lucky few have ever been blessed with.

toward stability. The presidency was a very unique concept at the time of the nation’s first election. As no other democratically selected leader existed in the world, there was no precedent of how such a leader would operate. Up unto this point, George Washington had proven his abilities as a general and subsequently as a leader. That being said, there were many dealings, including fiscal policy, with which Washington held no knowledge. Washington understood the limitations of his own abilities…
