Polyface Farm

George Orwell, author of the political satire, Animal Farm, once said, “[I]f thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.” Language, as Orwell comprehends, can be used as a written or spoken tool to express thoughts and gain support. Its meaning is wholly in the hands of the orator or the writer, but can often be altered by the audience. Similarly, in the novel, Orwell uses language to support the theme of how knowledge can be used as a weapon and tool to manipulate the…

He did this to give people a better understanding of the event and to evoke emotions of the readers since nice animals suffer and die (like others did in the Russian Revolution) One aspect of the story that Orwell used to portray the Russian Revolution was the windmill. The idea was…

Project Rationale In chapter 7 of Animal Farm there is a scene where an execution took place. Obviously, the execution was unfair and the alleged crimes that the executed animals have committed was false. And because of the cruel nature of the execution, the animals were left feeling shocked and unsure, which brings us to the propaganda. The purpose of the print ad is to convince the animals that the “criminals” were traitors to the farm that deserved to die. And this lie is significant to the…

When the day came where Napoleon was going to die and Squealer was going to die, from fatness. The animals would rejoice and be free, but until that day life was going to be miserable. Everyone didn’t know that the pigs were breaking the commandments which they set up, but rather their stupidity got the best of them. The only animal that knew what was going on was Benjamin.

novels that are written by George Orwell, Animal Farm and 1984, contain the common qualities of totalitarianistic governments such as: being ruled by a single party and having total control of the military, communication, and the economy.

In Orwell’s Animal Farm, the pigs act as form of totalitarianistic…

in Animal Farm describes the complicated subject of socialism through the allegorical lense of an almost childish topic of farm animals. The novel describes the literal personification of common farm animals who strive for perfection through the implementation of socialism. Orwell shows the flaws in a socialistic economy by the demonstration of the horse, Boxer, who works twice as hard but still receiving the same compensation as those who provide no service to the farm. Animal Farm also…

Structural Functionalism Structural functionalism is a framework for building theory that sees society as a complex system whose parts work together to promote solidarity and stability. In Animal Farm, Old Major’s dream was to create a utopian society where harmony and equality was the standard. He wanted to create a society where animals were unified and everyone was treated as equals. He believed this was possible if they didn’t “tyrannize over each other,” and fall prey to vices like…

extremely complex topic that is difficult to define. After reading four different pieces of literature, we have discovered that each piece has a different view on how to achieve true equality. The first piece of literature that we read was Animal Farm, which displayed an allegory of the Russian Revolution. This novel used animals to symbolize the Russian communist party, and like the Russian party, the animals had a cruel dictator. Over the course of this novel, equality was never consistent,…
