The artwork I have choosen to do my visual analysis on is called, Ploughing in Nivernais. This work was created in 1850 from oil on canvas. This painting measures 52” x102”.

Bonheur’s father was the one to teach her how to paint. Bonheur ended up becoming one of the most famous women of her time, and one of the…

This incident in its funny way brings out the basic unnaturalness and dilemma of the philosophy of equality-if understood literary as meaning that all are equal in talents and skills. The pigs, who consider themselves as the wisest of all, take themselves upon the organization of the farm. They compose the standards of their new framework called Animalism on the wall. The standards are decreased to Seven Commandments for the animals to remember effortlessly. As indicated by these standards no…

People tend turn to their government and leaders during times of need and crisis in a country. At least that's what Hitler did in World War II. He came to power because everyone turned to him and they did as he told them to do. This is like what Napoleon is doing to the other animals at the farm. Napoleon won the election of animal farm by brute force and even made the other candidate leave the farm. Since winning the election, he has almost been a dictator of the farm. He tells the animals…

In chapter 5, page 70, Squealer uses a form of propaganda to entice fear into the other animals of the farm. Most of the animals are non-intelligent, hence, they would not know the pigs ulterior motive. “You don’t want Jones back do you?” Squealer uses a Jones as a fear/threat to convey what’s happening on the farm is for the better and if they didn’t comply with the changes, life would be back to the way it was with Jones. However, this causes confusion with the animals on account of the…

Animal Farm, by George Orwell, is based around a simple concept called ‘Animalism’. Animalism, the idea that all animals should be treated with freedom and equality, not the cruelty that they were previously treated with, when governed by humans, was mostly created by the pigs. This concept, similar to communism in our world, was outlined by 7 commandments. However, throughout the story, we see the seven commandments gradually being eroded by the pigs, to suit their own benefit. They start to…

In the beginning, Old Major inspires the animals to unite and riot against Mr. Jones, and his men.

His paranoia was demonstrated through his actions as a leader as well. Stal describes paranoia as a “pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others.” Perhaps one of Stalin’s most infamous time periods during his reign was the Great Purge/Terror. After Stalin had gained power within the Communist Party, his desire to maintain control grew to an extreme. Between 1936-1938, the Great Purge took place, marked by three significant show trials targeting high-ranking Soviet officials: the 1936 trial…

The souless Chinese are at it again. It's bad enough that they steal pets, then sit around laughing as they watch the the dog screaming in pain as it gets boiled alive, but it seems China never fails to show the world what a souless, decrepit society they really are. Some historians say the Great Wall of China was built to keep the world from entering... I believe the wall was built to keep this disgusting mnoralless society in and therebykeeping the world safe from this repugnant society.…
