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 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.

Imagine a world where everyone was equal. Although this may sound pleasing, unfortunately it is not possible. The book Animal Farm is an allegory symbolizing the Russian Revolution. In this book by George Orwell the mistreated animals of Mr. Jones’ farm rebel against him and take over the farm. The main goal of animal farm was for all animals to be equal, an impossible maxim to follow. Animal Farm was doomed to fail because it was against human nature, power corrupts societies, and Almost…

Comrades, how has life on the farm been without me? Thank you for accepting the hens’ request of sacrificing a few minutes of your sleep and giving me this opportunity to convey a message I feel so passionately about. As you all know, I was exiled from the farm a few months ago by Napoleon. You, comrades, are probably confused about that occurrence and you may have been told many things by Napoleon and Squealer. However, I am confident that you, comrades, understand that they are just lies.…
