The animals are tired of being under cruel…

One example of class hierarchy is expressed on chapter 8. .In chapter 8 the most protruding expression of class hierarchy is exemplified through the text. In the text George Orwell states, “Napoleon inhabited separate apartments from the others. He took his meals alone, with two dogs to wait upon him, and always ate from the Crown Derby dinner…
