It's Not Me

As humans, we are only able to understand the world around us in terms of the human experience, through human emotions, feelings, and perception. Authors will often personify other things in order to relate back to the human experience. Most likely of these cases, authors will personify animals. Sometimes this is deliberate and other times the author is personifying animals unintentionally, because that is the only way the author can perceive the animal in his or her own terms of the human…

I think owning exoitic pets should not be allowed because they are to much to take care of. The owners have them for a little while, but when they get big they just dumped them off into the woods and they end up killing our birds and other animals. It isn´t a good idea to have these pets they are no good for us. They do nothing for us they just grow really big and they get annoying. Don't buy these pets they are nothing but trouble. These pets can get up to 20 feet long and when they are that…

What are you? What type of person are you? Do you fail to conform, to accepted standards, conventions, rules, or laws? Then you most likely are a nonconformist. Nonconformist are people who don't follow the status quo, they express opinions or beliefs other won’t. However living life as an nonconformist can be dangerous way of life. That's why most people just follow the norm and live an ordinary life. This can be shown with hens in the novel animal farm written by George Orwell. The hens are…

Snowball vs Napoleon Napoleon and Snowball are two of the main characters in the story. Both pigs, Napoleon being of larger size but Snowball being more articulate and able to come up with more ideas and is very vivid. Both characters strive for the title of "leader" after Mr. Jones is removed from the farm. Both agree on their theory of "animalism" and their seven commandments by which the farm shall be run, but agree on very little of anything else. Snowball is viewed as the ideal…

Sadly many similarities in dystopian books and movies are showing up in our society today such as the different social classes, the government watching us online etcetera. It’s scary how dystopian books and movies are so closely similar to modern time.Some that really stand out are from the book Animal Farm by George Orwell and movie V for Vendetta. In summary, Animal farm revolves around the Russian Revolution but Mr. Orwell uses animals to delineate indirectly the people involved in the…

"But it was noticed at these two (Snowball Napoleon) were never an agreement. Whatever suggestion either of them made, the other could be counted on to oppose it."(Orwell 31) it all started with Mr. Jones, owner of the farm, forgot to feed the animals due to being inebriated. The animals were so hungry they broke through their stalls and ate what they found that. That is how the rebellion started. Although the animals won, there were two pigs who stood up and became in charge; Snowball and…

George Orwell’s classic novella Animal Farm, written in 1945, is considered to be one of the most influential pieces in modern english literature. The novel focuses on the idea of totalitarian dictatorship, and the repercussions it can have on a society. One of the most prominent themes in the novella is the power of fear. One of the main characters in the novel and the leader of the rebellion Napoleon, a sly, intelligent animal, as well as his minion Squealer, use their high intellect to…

Equal… Well Not Quite “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others”. The novel Animal Farm, George Orwell: is about a farm named Manor Farm which was changed to Animal Farm; the animals at this farm believe in equality and a few other rules. Then some of the animals began to believe that they were more important than others. This leads to the animal farm falling down into pieces. The theme of the story is rivalry. I think that this novel is still relevant to readers today, not…

Napoleon’s Corruptive Power “Long live Animal Farm, Long live Comrade Napoleon, Napoleon is always right!” (Orwell 125).

The story begins with the animals on the farm displeased with how their leader, Mr Jones, has been treating them. The animals overthrow him as leader and elect Napoleon and Snowball to take…

or the Trojan army and their spirit, or lack thereof (Iliad iv. 502-509). The “sheep” simile is a common one. Sheep are on everyone’s menu, which forces them to flock together in order to stay safe from predators. Sheep are not very intelligent animals, when faced with danger they flock together. This is pretty much the extent of their defense arsenal. When Homer compares the Trojans to “flocks of sheep” he is telling us that, militaristically, they are not an even match to the Achaeans and…
