Snowball

own writing, if you were able to read it. The plot was for Snowball, at the critical moment, to give the signal for flight and leave the field to the enemy” (Orwell 43). An examination of this quote clearly proves to the reader that the pigs know of the animals idiocy, and intend to use it against them for their own rankings. Additionally, one can infer that the pigs are lying about having a document with a negative connotation of Snowball, because if they do they will have already exposed the…

allegory because of its hidden political undertones. The Manor Farm represents Russia under the Czar and the Animal Farm represents Russia under the USSR. Most of the animals represent people or different groups of people. Napoleon represents Stalin, Snowball represents Trotsky, the sheep represent the common people just following blindly, and Boxer represents the worker. The main feeling expressed in this allegorical story is negative feelings for communism and totalitarianism. The book was…

home at number 12, Thorpe Avenue, Thornton, Bradford, playing in the snow. I remember I was wearing a pair of mittens connected to each other by a piece of string that ran up the arm, across the neck and down the other sleeve. I was busy making snowballs and piling them up into pyramids when a boy came along sitting in a toy train. It had pedals and was green in colour, which perfectly matched the colour of my face. This was some toy. The boy was called Tracy, I remember, a stupid name for a…

My funniest moment comes with some background information so that anyone that reads this doesn’t take it the wrong way. Since I was about sixteen years old I have said that the day I turn thirty years old, that I want to die in a shark attack. I don’t say it in a way meaning I don’t want to pursue my life, and it’s not meant in a way that I’m not happy with my life either. When I say it, I don’t really mean it, but it is my way of dealing with the things that life has dealt for me and my future…

Have you ever thought about this question: “What do you want in your society?” One might say freedom, while another may say stability. Opinions will be different for everyone, so I will tell you what I think. Freedom, equality, and justice are the 3 most important values of society because they somehow build on each other. Here is why: I think justice because when Animal Farm (an allegoric novel based on the Russian Revolution) depicts how men in the novel are tyrannical, they rule and use their…

the 5th day of the month, there was one troop guarding the Boston Customs Home and some boys came along and began to throw snowballs at the guard and insulting them as well. The occurrences at the scene caused a group to show up and the guard called for help which prompted his captain to show up with seven other soldiers. This caused the group to continue to throw snowballs and rocks until a gone was fired and which caused a shooting that wounded eleven and killed four. Samuel Adams, Sons of…

In the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, many problems occurred after the rebellion that made it seem not worth doing in the first place. The rebellion was ineffective because of a chain of events that happened that made most of animals lives worse because of theft,trickery, and murder. The rebellion was unsuccessful because the pigs since the rebellion have been stockpiling and committing theft for their own personal gain. After the rebellion happened the pigs were taking advantage of the…

In the “Santa Ana” by Joan Didion, she describes the Los Angeles wind and the effect it has on people. Didion describes the Santa Ana winds as a very unpleasant time that people have to go through. She says, “Los Angeles weather is the weather of catastrophe…” (Didion 47). Her description of the Santa Ana winds is extreme and shocking. Didion says the winds make people depressed and sometimes the winds make people go crazy. The way the Santa Ana winds are described makes me not want to be…

I believe that the true theme of Animal Farm was that people of ignorance and hope are blinded from the reality of their problems-- that they, in time, can transform themselves into the true enemy. My thought could be supported with many events throughout the book. The most important moments in the story, especially, supply the strongest evidence to prove myself-- even true events, such as the Holocaust, prove to tell the same lesson. And, now, using the evidence that I have gathered around the…

Connection Two and Text Three Lies and deceit are used by my texts to show the effect of control on the freedoms of the individual. In Animal Farm, the animals dream of more freedom but are deceived by the pigs and their freedom becomes less than that of just after the rebellion. Before this rebellion takes place, a pig named ‘old Major’ calls all the animals together to give a speech. In his speech he says that “The life of an animal is misery and slavery...”. This idea becomes one of the key…
