Born to a photographer and a housewife, Kahlo grew up in the small, Mexican city of Coyoacán. With no original aspiration to become an artist, a series of unfortunate events would shape and mold her into becoming one of the best surrealists of her time, and arguably ever. What the Water Gave Me (see Appendix A), also known as What I Saw in the Water is one of the most renowned pieces by artist, Frida Kahlo for it’s usage of symbolism which gives the viewer insight into much of Frida’s personal…

Both Stalin and Lenin in their approaches are seeking greater industrialization amidst the agricultural sector. They are likewise concerned with the threat of capitalism. Lenin, in his New Economic Plan, is focused internally. In Lenin’s The NEP ‘A Strategical Retreat section, Lenin references a political crisis caused by the implementation of the party’s surplus-food appropriation program in the rural districts (pp. 4,5). To be clear this is a byword for unrest. When the peasantry is starving,…

QUESTION: ‘What opportunities does writing Animal Farm as an allegory rather than an academic essay offer Orwell? In Animal Farm George Orwell writes a story of the way he believes Stalin betrayed the ideals of the Russian Revolution. These ideals were about sharing resources among all people. The characters in animal farm have the same features as the Russian Revolution. In Orwell’s short allegory novel, he provides a much more interesting image than an essay, for Orwell to critique the way…

supporters launched a propaganda counterattack against Trotsky” (history.com).It is without a doubt that Napoleon’s role in the novel is to be an allegorical representation of a former Soviet dictator, Joseph Stalin. Meanwhile, Snowball represents Leon Trotsky. There are many political and historical allusions to the events of communism and of the Soviet Union in the book. For example, when Napoleon negotiates with the neighboring farms, an untrustworthy man betrays him and steals some lumber.…

In George Orwell’s Final Message to the world, he claims that it “depends on us” to change the worlds and to change the “nightmare of our future”. In George Orwell’s Final Message he mentions that "there will be no loyalty, except loyalty to the party.” The people have to respect the government and they have to do what the government want or the “party” and everything control by the government. To demonstrate in Animal Farm all the animals have to follow everything that the big tell them…

I read a book called, “Animal Farm” written by George Orwell. The book is about animals on a farm who are overworked, and not treated as they should be. Then, a rebellion made up of animals with pigs as their leaders, rebel against Mr.Jones (owner of the farm) by driving him off the farm. The animals try to make the perfect life for themselves, but that doesn’t go as planned. Animal farm then, starts to fail. The farm fails because of the pigs not being fair to the other animals, and the animals…

The giant proceeded to ruin the wall of his garden and to welcome children to play in his garden. Years later, the giant died and was taken to the Heaven by the child who…

Power can have the persuasive action in undoing the moral ethics of one’s character. This can be seen throughout history with the Russian Revolution and can also be proven by the actions of Napoleon in, Animal Farm, by George Orwell. As John Dalberg said “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” A leader does not begin wanting to do wrong, they start with the best intentions, but power is a tricky thing. As someone gains more and more power, they increasingly become…

ruled. They have used various methods to rise to power in their countries and they have worked hard to maintain that power. They both had huge impacts on the world and on Cuba and Russia. Joseph Stalin rose to power after the death of Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky was the natural successor of Lenin but after a complex power struggle Stalin rose out triumphant. Unlike Stalin who inherited his rule from Lenin, Castro rose to power after the Cuban civil war where he defeated the Cuban president…

To thoroughly understand the relationships between themes, a theme can be analogous to a wild animal (#8). There can be many wild animals in a vast open area, but in many smaller areas, there may be just one. As for literature, many complex novels possess multiple themes, but, commonly, short stories and other pithy pieces of writing possess a single theme shown throughout the book. Be that as it may, wild animals also possess the inclination to rival each other; themes acquire the same…
