Misunderstood

“Four legs good, two legs bad” the sheep were chanting this all throughout George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm. Is Animal farms system good or bad? In my opinion the Animal farm system is horrendous for three main reasons. First because it runs just like communism in the sense that there is one leader that everyone listens to. Second because it is corrupt the pigs will do anything for themselves and don’t care about the animals. Third because it causes more rebellion, Napoleon abusing his power…

The terrible dictator of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin, was not a cruel person before he advocated communism. He grew up with well-to-do Catholic parents and his parents sent Joseph to a Jesuit school. This young man spent seven years at school, studying to become a Jesuit priest. What causes a young man who want to alter the government in the Soviet Union to act unjustly and severe ruler? The power. Power corrupts people. George Orwell’s book Animal Farm shows well on the corruption of power.…

In Animal Farm, Squealer, the pig who acted as Napoleon’s spokesperson represents propaganda. Squealer’s role was to gain the animals’ support by using various types of propaganda, one being fear. Squealer utilizes fear mongering, as he threatens the farm animals with Mr. Jones coming back if the pigs did not get their way. Based on the example, fear proves itself as an important factor in the Russian Revolution and Animal Farm as it gains control over the animals and workers. In Animal Farm,…

In his story, George Orwell engenders the character Benjamin, the oldest, most sagacious, and stereotypical donkey; obstinate and cynical. Benjamin's personality does not seem to transmute after the revolt, as he does not care for the rebellion. He believes his world is identically tantamount with animals in control, and with humans in control. As the book progresses, Benjamin is in several significant scenes in the book, where he is a bystander, but does nothing. An example of this is when…

The Zookeeper’s Wife was a very emotional film taking place in Warsaw, Poland. The couple featured were in charge of a very prestigious zoo containing many different animals ranging from rabbits, to monkeys, to elephants. After being bombed by Nazis, many of the animals died, escaped, or were seized by Hitler’s lead zoologist, Lutz Heck. With the realization of the enormity of their zoo, and the danger that many faced, they decided to take in one of their Jewish friends, hiding her in a spare…

I chose to do the journal entries because the windmill was a larger part of the story. When they were all promised the things that would come with the building of the windmill I figured that each animal would have their own opinion about it and what they thought about in the future as well. In the book the pigs are a nasty, backstabbing group of animals that are just using the others for their benefit. On the farm there is only one animal that can see that because he has been alive to experience…

Ever since the beginning of sports, there has always be the sense of rivalry, whether it be between players, teams, coaches or countries, there is always the need to be better than the other, which the right side belongs to those who have proved it. Attending the fifth annual Alabama Program in Sports Communication, I was able to catch the 9:10 am panel, Competitive Paper Panel. Three topics were presented, using a statistic model for predicting and analyzing a NHL result, how men and women…

It is, however, hardly surprising that science took this path. It would be rather simplistic to say that all of this comes from Descartes, though his influence on the way in which animals are conceived within Western thought was by no means trivial in its impact. Within this framework exists the claim that humans have the right to dominate and control animals, both conceptually and physically. If the question of governance can be posed as “‘how not to be governed like that, by that, in the name…

Top 4 Ugliest Creatures including Vampire Bat, Marilyn Manson is not among eight I know what you are thinking, this article is just going to trash Marilyn Manson. Well, trust me that is not the intent. However, we will not bounce around the fact that Marilyn Manson has a very crazy “look”. However, he still is not as ugly as the vampire bat, and these other creatures. NUMBER 1: THE VAMPIRE BAT Bats are not amongst the most gorgeous looking creatures anyways, but the vampire bat is downright…

"Mr. Napoleon! Mr. Napoleon! May the press and I have a moment of your time to talk about some of your recent victories including the complete takeover of animal farm?" "Of course, ask any question you like." "Thank you sir, our first question would have to be, what did you think about old major and animalism?" "Well, old major was an influence on me however; his invasion of freedom was, depressing. I value the rich and more lavish things in life. Old major just wanted to be free. I can…
