The book Animal Farm by George Orwell is about a society of animals led by a group of intelligent pigs that start a revolution against the owners of the farm in order to prove their superiority among the humans. It all started with a pig named Old Major telling all the animals about his dream of taking the farm from humans and running the farm themselves, so that all animals can live in a state of equality. Old Major brings the animals together before he dies, and the two pigs: Napoleon and…

Dehumanization is a process that the Cambridge Dictionary defines as the deprivation of a person from their independent thought, the ability to be sympathetic, and the ability to exercise their natural rights (Cambridge English Dictionary). Within 1984, George Orwell uses the state of the country Oceania as a juxtaposition to reveal the devastating effects of authoritarian rules of government such as the totarialistic state of the Soviet Union in the 1900s under the reign of Stalin. Under the…

Wonderful Prisons for Pitiful Animals Pretty pictures painted on the walls, so many branches placed all around, magnificent creation of the land area; all these can't surpass the feeling when you're at home. Killing His creations unintentionally, forgetting the sense of equality, serving these animals the things which they think they deserve; all these are just revolving around a business. Zoos are educational and nuts but not. How could we even trust zoo proponents if they don't believe in…

DEJ1: I definitely like this book, it shows what dystopian is, and the author creates the world the animals live in as something not the worst possible, but pretty close to it for the animals. In this world all the animals except for the pigs have no power. The other animals have to do what the pigs say and are killed if they don’t do as told. DEJ2: The books society is so different from ours, animals taking over humans? That'd be something to see! I think it's different and I wouldn't be able…

Connection Two and Text Three Lies and deceit are used by my texts to show the effect of control on the freedoms of the individual. In Animal Farm, the animals dream of more freedom but are deceived by the pigs and their freedom becomes less than that of just after the rebellion. Before this rebellion takes place, a pig named ‘old Major’ calls all the animals together to give a speech. In his speech he says that “The life of an animal is misery and slavery...”. This idea becomes one of the key…

Animal Farm is representing life when stalin was a ruler. Many of the characters in the book replicate something that has happened to influence the fall of the country. But, instead the book is replicating the fall of the farm. The book is about how the animals take over the farm and begin to follow old major’s, a pig, plan and or dream. His dream was for the animals to take back what was theirs, and to being doing things their way. Toward the end of the book the plan falls due to the fact that…

My entire life I’ve been obsessed with animals, and I want to use that obsession to better the lives of as many animals as I can. If you look out the window of the second floor of my grandmother’s house, you will see a large open yard with clumps of trees and thickets sprawled throughout it. In the center of this yard is a glimmering reflective pond. Almost like an enormous mirror in the grass. This is where I decided what I wanted to do with my life. I would visit that pond as often as I…

In life everybody around us take risks and use tactics, such as persuasion, to get what they want. Examples are right in front of our eyes; they are in places such as political campaigns, books, conversations, school, and many more. Animal Farm is an allegory, satire, and fable.

This essay will be comparing Animal Farm to President Trump’s campaign speeches. The purpose of…

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov also known as Lenin was a Russian communist revolutionary and politician. Lenin asserted that socialism corresponds to Marx’s first phase of communist society and communism proper to the second. He was heavily linked with communism therefore I think ‘Good Bye Lenin’ is an appropriate title for the movie. The named Lenin is used a reference to communism. And with the unification of East and West Germany in 1989 communism was leaving East Germany where Alex and his family…
