As I matured, instead of questioning myself, I started to dig into philosophical books, such as Republic and Apology by Plato, Political Liberalism by Rawls, and so on. In these books I have found…

Joel Barlow and his Hatred of Napoleon In Joel Barlow’s “Advice to a Raven in Russia”, he makes several points that hint toward his anti-Napoleon agenda.

Barlow uses a raven as a sort of mascot because a raven can fly over everything and not only see the damage that has been done to the land, but also the people that inhabited these lands.

Orwell also uses his novel to show a parallel view on Czarist Russia and the life of the Russian peasantry through the intricate characters in the novel. The history of Czarist Russia gives the background information on the life of the peasants during that time and helps give the characters depth. The peasants were obviously ignorant and oblivious of how they were…
