Animal Farm-MAKE ANOTHER TITLE The classic political novel Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, tells a story of an uprising raised among animals, controlled by the pigs, and the result of their takeover of the farm. In this novel, the author uses irony to emphasize his theme of how the animals original goal is corrupted by the pigs self-indulgent acts. Irony is used to show how the commandments are being altered, how the animals are not being treated equally under Napoleon 's dictatorship…

Throughout the lives of the human race, one may or may not follow a specific religion. Within the Christian religion there are different denominations. In Christianity, there are over 400,000 different denominations. So the bible may be miss interpreted from these numerous denominations. Individuals may be unaware of some of the specific topics that are spoken about within the bible. One topic that the bible does mention is war. War is defined as “a state of armed conflict between different…

“Napoleon was a large, rather fierce-looking Berkshire boar, the only Berkshire on the farm, not much of a talker, but with a reputation for getting his own way” (Orwell 16). Evidently, this foreshadows the fact that Napoleon, who was rather smart, will make himself dictator and have complete control of the farm by using authoritarian and totalitarian tactics just as Stalin did. Napoleon was extremely thirsty for power and got what he wanted by using terror as well as propaganda that none of the…

I read a book called, “Animal Farm” written by George Orwell. The book is about animals on a farm who are overworked, and not treated as they should be. Then, a rebellion made up of animals with pigs as their leaders, rebel against Mr.Jones (owner of the farm) by driving him off the farm. The animals try to make the perfect life for themselves, but that doesn’t go as planned. Animal farm then, starts to fail. The farm fails because of the pigs not being fair to the other animals, and the animals…

The Selfish Giant is a story about a process of a selfish giant becoming a generous one. The Giant had a very beautiful garden where the children like playing. After the giant expelled children rudely, only the cold winter was in his garden. Finally, he realized that is was his selfishness prevented the coming of the spring.

To Conform or Not to Conform? Conformity is a life that only leads to unhappiness and a voice that will not be heard. The sheep from Animal Farm chooses to conform through their slogans, while Christopher choose to continue writing a book he was told to discontinue. The sheep unknowingly followed everything the pigs told them to do while Christopher knowingly disobeyed his father. Conformity gives the person a choice to use their voice or be silenced, though both will cause a negative…

When observing the Hebrew Scriptures, one major theme prevalent in the Book of Genesis is deception. Throughout Genesis, many of the Lord’s prophets or “chosen people,” lie, trick, and deceive people into getting what they want. Whenever the Lord’s prophets deceive people, they are committing an act of sin. As the Ninth Commandment clearly states, “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” (Exodus 20:16). Therefore, it would make sense for the Lord to punish the prophets. However,…

In his story, George Orwell engenders the character Benjamin, the oldest, most sagacious, and stereotypical donkey; obstinate and cynical. Benjamin's personality does not seem to transmute after the revolt, as he does not care for the rebellion. He believes his world is identically tantamount with animals in control, and with humans in control. As the book progresses, Benjamin is in several significant scenes in the book, where he is a bystander, but does nothing. An example of this is when…

I chose to do the journal entries because the windmill was a larger part of the story. When they were all promised the things that would come with the building of the windmill I figured that each animal would have their own opinion about it and what they thought about in the future as well. In the book the pigs are a nasty, backstabbing group of animals that are just using the others for their benefit. On the farm there is only one animal that can see that because he has been alive to experience…

An idol is a person that you adore, love, aspire to be or even worship. In this case my idol would be the famous rapper, Kanye West. Idolizing Kanye West may sound shallow or even foolish to people, since he has a bad reputation for being arrogant, self-obsessed. But from my perspective, he is not vain at all. He is just self confident and he should be since he has the material to back it up. If I ever meet and have the privilege to share a drink with him obviously I wouldn’t know what to…
