The true meaning of being a leader is to serve others before themselves. An efficient leader must never be self-centered and must always be concerned with their follower’s best interests before their own. In the Animal Farm, the animals were led to believe that the humans were the reason beside all of their misery from being on the Manor Farm. Napoleon, the main tyrant, started using his newly gained power to only benefit himself and stray away from Old Major’s original ideas. As a leader,…

"The communism of Karl Marx would probably be actually the best for everybody as a whole. But what he didn't figure into was human nature, and that's what corrupts it." This quote sums up exactly what went wrong with the revolution on Animal Farm, as Old Major provided the animals with a picture of a utopian world where every animal was to work to his capability, and still never go hungry, and enjoy luxuries that were never even thought of with Jones on the farm. But when the revolution became a…

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others,”(118). In this case, George Orwell is using the phrase “more equal” to show how leaders twist words to manipulate the population. Animal Farm, by George Orwell, is a farm that overthrows their dictator leader, Mr. Jones, but reverts back into a dictatorship over the course of the book. Satire is a way to use humor, irony, or over exaggeration to expose or criticize people’s ideas, especially in politics. Animal Farm…

During 1917, Russia undergoes an explosive uprising known as the Russian Revolution in which the Bolsheviks overthrow czarist rule and become the Communist Party. Later, in 1945, a novel is written by George Orwell chronicling a group of animals as they overthrow their farm in order to construct a government for themselves. When reading Orwell’s novel Animal Farm, it is evident the Russian Revolution is acting as a foundation for the novel. Animal Farm is an allegory for the Russian Revolution…

vote and though the laws changed so that African Americans could vote as well, there were other laws continuing to prohibit them to vote. Today we continue to see that racial divide separating man from man. The Black Lives Matter protest in Portland ME filled with over 150 people marching for their rights are being locked away for serving their right to protest. They were forced to pay a fine, but they did get their word across proving that even a march can help many. In Animal Farm,…

“Animal Farm” is a “razor-edged fairy tale” (from the blurb) written by George Orwell. This book has a lot more themes than you probably think. It is about a farm taken over by unfairly treated animals and also informs you about the Russian Revolution by replacing the people involved with the animals on the farm. The author does a great job of hiding the real message from the story. I believe what Orwell wanted us to never forget is that history repeats itself explained by the four concepts of…

Why did Animalism fail? In the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, a lot of commotion happened between animals and humans. The animals ran Mr. Jones out of the farm because of Majors dream, after that they made the 7 commandments. Little did the animals know that all of this was going to change over time. Also the perception the animals had shaped the experience and the actions they had on Animal Farm. I think Animalism failed because the animals let the pigs be in charge, none of the animals…

In Animal Farm, one of George Orwell’s main goals was to portray the Russian Revolution of 1917 in his writing through character’s, events, and concepts. His goal was clearly shown in his text because many important people of the Russian Revolution were seen through animals, events that took place in the Russian Revolution were reflected in his writing, and many concepts of the time were shown in a different form. He accomplished his goal by using simpler characters and an easier concept to…

George Orwell’s compelling novel Animal Farm takes place in a “utopian” society where animals have taken control over their own lives. The novel represents the rhetoric of the Russian Revolution and an indirect criticism towards communist governments. Mr. Jones is an abusive human who the animals despise and incites them to have rebellious ideas. Napoleon, a peculiar pig who is immediately prominent from the rest, takes the power. His goal is to make an equalitarian community where all the…

text when it reads, “But a few days later Muriel, reading over the Seven Commandments to herself, noticed that there was yet another of them which the animals had remembered wrong” (Orwell 109). She, along with the other animals, assumes that they remember it wrong, when in reality, they do not notice the change because the majority cannot read. The other animals being illiterate is one of the several reasons why the pigs are able to take control of the farm so…
