In the book, Animal Farm, there are many concepts relating to fairy tales. Though these concepts seem pretty evident throughout the story, there are also many other underlying non-fairy tale concepts that are not evident.

Nonetheless Animal Farm closely follows the guidelines of being a Fairy Tale. At an overall look at Animal Farm, it has more…

The Russian revolution was in the same vote they had many government take over the people and left them struggle which is about the same thing they did in Animal farm.

The perfect example of this is Leon Trotsky who wanted to spread the revolution around the world but Stalin argued that the party must protect and rebuild Russia first. By using his supporters and creating deals with other powerful members of the party, Stalin got Trotsky exiled to Siberia…

Effective satire leaves the responder with a sense that some change needs to occur either to prevent situations recurring or to change current behaviour / actions. The use of absurdity and humour to discuss and expose specific problems makes satire engaging and persuasive in a way that a direct statement, is not, thus promoting and recognising the need for reform. “Animal Farm” (1945), Orwell’s allegorical critique of the Russian Revolution, reveals the innate malevolence of mankind through…

Animal Farm is an allegory since it has two levels in the story. The animals represent the people of Russia and Mr. Jones is the last Russian Tsar Nicholas II. The story tells of the overthrowing of the Russian government and the beginning of communism. Mr. Jones, as did Nicholas II, didn’t hear the cries of hunger and the needs of the people. Major, the pig, is Karl Marx, the father of communism. He is convincing telling the animals what they want to hear. The people thought they could do…

Dystopias are often looked at as a failed attempt of creating a "perfect society". They are often made up, like the world of Panem in The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. However, sometimes they become a reality, like the Holocaust that happened during World War II. Although they aren't exactly the same, the Holocaust is similar to the world of Panem in The Hunger Games because they both have sadistic leaders, loyal followers, and both are attempting to be a perfect society. In The Hunger Games…

As Napoleon’s right hand man, Squealer enforces the idea that Napoleon’s power is above all and no other thoughts or ideas will be accepted. Squealer uses his manipulative language to trick the animals into believing Napoleon’s objectives. Squealer takes advantage of the sheep to help support Napoleon’s case. “The sheep spent the whole day [at the waste ground] browsing at the leaves under Squealer’s supervision…[Squealer] was, he said, teaching them to sing a new song, fro which privacy is…

Revolution, just like the animals did when they took control of the farm. The character Old Major is an allegory for the Russian Revolutionary leader, Vladimir Ilych Lenin, who led the revolution and wanted a land of socialism. Snowball is an allegory for Leon Trotsky, the first leader of the Socialist movement in Russia, because Snowball also becomes the first leader of the newly formed Animal Farm. Napoleon is an allegory for Joseph Stalin because…

Manipulation can lead to power but certainly a corrupt power {Hook}. At the beginning of animal, farm power was used to attain good things; it brought the animals in the farm together under a united case and allow them to gain their freedom, however as the story develops power began to destroy the community. After this point power struggles emerge and serve to divide the animals in the farm instead of uniting them.{Background} In “Animal Farm” George Orwell used the pigs to try to demonstrate…
