Spirited Away uses the motif of food, which plays a crucial role in every transformation. The first transformation occurs when Chihiro’s parents devour the food they find in an empty park. Because the spirits perceived them as greedy consumers without appreciation, they transform the two consumers into pigs – a possible source of food themselves. The intemperate consumption of food resulted in a negative transformation, which began the plot for Chihiro to rescue her parents. The negative…

The animals in a farm named Manor Farm attempt to assert their Otherness in contrast to the oppressive human interference through a Rebellion. The word Rebellion appears with a capital ‘R’, as if the animals have almost found their harmony with deifying the act of Othering. The capitalized ‘Rebellion’ seems a raw simulation of the anthropocentric deity-figure that appears in grand narratives of the religious kind. The Rebellion of Manor Farm turns bloody and resembles in all its subtlety the…

A Catalyst of Destruction “But no animal escapes the cruel knife in the end” (Orwell 6), Old Major predicts at the beginning of Animal Farm, a satire by George Orwell following the basis of the Russian Revolution, foretelling the events that would come about, through the torment of the humans, unless they transferred to the ways of animalism. Yet, what Old Major did not know was that, whether under the rule of humans or not, the end would come from them in the same way it always has. Only this…

Animal Farm shows people how the control over something can change any certain place. The rules changed when two different people took over on the farm. The animals behaved in a different way when two different people took over the power of the farm. The work ethic on the farm changed when Napoleon took charge of the animals. Animals on the farm had to adapt to many changes made on the farm. Napoleon and Jones had different ways of showing how things should get done. The lives that the animals…

leads the work force, but does not lead them with intelligence. Animals and people alike, that have Boxer’s mindset, obedient until death and ignorant, are harmful to a successful society. The book parallels the Russian Revolution revolving Stalin, Trotsky, and the Russian people. Boxer is…

The independent reading book I choose to read this summer was “Animal Farm” by George Orwell. The story is about a farm where the animals are sick of doing labor for humans, so they rebel and kick the farmers off Manor Farm, a farm in England. The animals then instal a government based on animalism. Animalism has 7 rules whoever goes on two legs is an enemy, whoever goes open four legs, or has wings, is a friend, no animal should wear clothes, no animal should sleep in a bed, no animal should…

Salami Tell You About Steiner “Animal, Vegetable, Miserable” is an op-ed guest column published in the New York Times in 2009, written by Gary Steiner. Steiner is a philosophy professor at Bucknell University who has published other animal rights books including Anthropocentrism and Its Discontents and Animals and the Moral Community. He attempts to open the minds of the readers to learn about their “normal” behavior. Things such as eating meat, going to zoos, or even enjoying circuses are…

Loss of innocence “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”(Lord Acton). In the book Animal Farm, by George Orwell many characters are faced with power. These characters all use the power they receive in many different ways. Some of the characters use their power in the correct way and others abuse the power. The animals are having trouble deciding who they want to become the new leader of the farm. Mr. Jones is the owner of Manor Farm and he does not treat the…

I have been asked by Rovio to develop a couple of levels for the game angry birds. They gave me eight levels that I should find the path that the birds need to fly in order to hit the pigs. The first thing I did was that the A for every quadratic equation should be negative because that’s how angry birds fly. The first four questions were very similar because they gave me the x intercepts. I used the intercept form to solve these four questions because I already had the x intercepts and if I…
