when they do not obey the rules of Chivalry. Chaucer wrote about the truths of the church and he promoted change. “He’d fix up any marriage, giving each of his young women what he could afford her” (Allen et al. 150). Chaucer wrote about crisis in his society the way George Orwell wrote to promote change in his own society. In Animal Farm, Orwell realized the corruption taking place and saw the opportunity to speak the truth. Both authors used their characters to promote change and voice…

While George Orwell’s Animal Farm, and Peter Weir’s The Truman Show may be very different texts, they both look into three particular themes: The good life, a good society, and the justification of power and control. While they may not agree on all of the themes, they both look into them quite deeply, and have some interesting thoughts and views on the three topics. What is the good life for an Individual: In the Truman Show, the concept of the good life is one where the individual is free.…

The purpose of my propaganda poster is to encourage the animals to rebuild the windmill after Snowball supposedly destroyed it. The goal is to get them to desire to rebuild their precious windmill despite the fact that all their laborious work had been wasted. The argument my poster is making is that the animals have worked for too many grueling hours to give up now. If Snowball did indeed demolish the windmill simply to get his revenge and make them suffer, then the animals cannot let him…

How does the tortoise know he will win in The Tortoise and the Rabbit? How does the tortoise trick the antelope in quitting the race before he even crossed the finish line in The Tortoise and the Antelope? These two fables show very valuable lessons for success in life. Though both are compelling in different ways, they hold more similarities than you may realize. The tortoise is the sharpest animal in these fables while obviously the rabbit and antelope are gullible and smug animals that need…

Killer Pig, preformed by the dance company L-E-V, demonstrates expressions of minimalism and intense honesty. The dance voiced the idea of a present force that influences the actions of the dancer leading to the natural instinct to kill. The dance gave off the impression of a primitive state through the erratic articulation of dancer’s bodies and their nude costumes. The combination of the lighting, music, choreography, and costumes allowed the audience understand the concept behind the dance.…

Furthermore, each literary work employs characters to illustrate loyalty. Orwell and Twain demonstrate this trait in various ways and the first way is through individuals who are loyal to society. Animal Farm is quick to symbolize this type of loyalty through the horse Boxer who is one of the first characters introduced and one of the characters that are most thoroughly described. His main characteristic is fervent devotion and it is clearly demonstrated when he injures himself but as soon as…

In the editorial “A Change of Heart about Animals,” you claim that animals are more like humans than we thought. These claims are supported by first providing credible sources, then offering experiments done, and finally presenting animal behavior observations. It seems that your purpose is to promote animals rights in order to have animals treated more humanely. The article is written in casual tone for the readers of the L.A Times which are: millennials, Hispanics and affluent individuals of…

To Conform or Not to Conform? Conformity is a life that only leads to unhappiness and a voice that will not be heard. The sheep from Animal Farm chooses to conform through their slogans, while Christopher choose to continue writing a book he was told to discontinue. The sheep unknowingly followed everything the pigs told them to do while Christopher knowingly disobeyed his father. Conformity gives the person a choice to use their voice or be silenced, though both will cause a negative…
