Pigs on the Wing

Old Major was an old pig highly respected by the other animals on the farm. Boxer was the big, strong horse who was not very smart but had a better perspective then most of the other animals. Clover was a motherly, middle-aged mare. Benjamin was a donkey and the oldest animal on the farm. Mollie was the foolish, pretty white mare who loved sugar cubes and ribbons in her mane. Major called the animals together to tell them about his idea for a better world for animals. The animals would live…

The preparations are led by the pigs, who are the cleverest animals on the farm. Two pigs in particular—Snowball and Napoleon—take on leadership roles and are aided by Squealer, an extremely persuasive pig. The pigs turn Old Major’s speech into a philosophy, which they call “Animalism.” They then hold weekly meetings to teach the rest of the animals about Animalism, though…

A domestic group of animals on the “Manor Farm”, play an important role in the revolution. Old Major, a wise pig, aggregates all animals from, small mice to brimming horses. He says, Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for ever. Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he…

And one day he did. And he came with an army. The animals fought the humans and eventually won, but a sheep was killed. The animals decided to mark…

Both the pig and the man share the dubious characteristic of hiding behind an identity that promotes hope among the masses. O’Brien pretends to be a member of a secret resistance society, the Brotherhood, and easily fools Winston and Julia into trusting him, ultimately sealing their doom. Napoleon is less subtle, but all of rights he…

his men come out and start whipping the animals. All the animals soon retaliate. The humans see they are no match for them and retreat the farm. The next morning after their victory, the pigs write seven commandments for the farm: whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy, whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend, no animal shall wear clothes, no animal shall sleep in a bed, no animal shall drink alcohol, no animal shall kill any other animal, and all animals are equal. Although the…

First, I helped prepare dinner and snacks before the Super Bowl. We had a variety of food from pigs in blankets to guacamole to barbecue chicken wings, some of the classic Super Bowl recipes. I watched the beginning of the game and the halftime show. They called to the field some of the MVPs from past Super Bowl winning teams. Then, Joe Montana flipped the coin and the Panthers chose tails and they won. The funniest commercial, in my opinion, was the T-Mobile commercial with Steve Harvey.…
