Even though officer Tibbs shows certain “roundness”, I believe officer Gillespie is the most interesting character between the two of them. Eventually, Virgil Tibbs is an…

Whether it’s a dog saving a cat, fox, or llama, they are still amazing heroes that are not focused on what kind, color, or breed they are. Experimenting on a species…

The true meaning of being a leader is to serve others before themselves. An efficient leader must never be self-centered and must always be concerned with their follower’s best interests before their own. In the Animal Farm, the animals were led to believe that the humans were the reason beside all of their misery from being on the Manor Farm. Napoleon, the main tyrant, started using his newly gained power to only benefit himself and stray away from Old Major’s original ideas. As a leader,…

"The communism of Karl Marx would probably be actually the best for everybody as a whole. But what he didn't figure into was human nature, and that's what corrupts it." This quote sums up exactly what went wrong with the revolution on Animal Farm, as Old Major provided the animals with a picture of a utopian world where every animal was to work to his capability, and still never go hungry, and enjoy luxuries that were never even thought of with Jones on the farm. But when the revolution became a…

thinking that whatever Napoleon is doing with humans was ok. In this example, Napoleon recently announced that they would start trading with the humans to gain supplies. “Never to have any dealings with human beings, never to engage in trade, never to make use of money, had not these been among the earliest resolutions at the first triumphant Meeting after Jones was expelled?...Squealer made a round of the farm and set the animals’ mind to rest.

During 1917, Russia undergoes an explosive uprising known as the Russian Revolution in which the Bolsheviks overthrow czarist rule and become the Communist Party. Later, in 1945, a novel is written by George Orwell chronicling a group of animals as they overthrow their farm in order to construct a government for themselves.

Why did Animalism fail? In the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, a lot of commotion happened between animals and humans. The animals ran Mr. Jones out of the farm because of Majors dream, after that they made the 7 commandments. Little did the animals know that all of this was going to change over time. Also the perception the animals had shaped the experience and the actions they had on Animal Farm. I think Animalism failed because the animals let the pigs be in charge, none of the animals…

link every character to a certain person. To make the story more understandable and appealing to a wider variety of age groups he had to add excess characters to his writing. Most of the extra characters don’t have a specific meaning or message behind their existence, they just help add to the plot.
