Upon reading ‘Animal Farm’ it is clear that Orwell’s loosely disguised animal fable pays homage to the idea that "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" . It being an allegory to the oppression and totalitarianism faced during the Russian Revolution in 1917, it provides a critical approach to the idealistic intentions of Marxist theory. Arguably ‘Animal Farm’ epitomises the idea that “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others”, which establishes the existence two distinctive social…

J.D. Salinger uses this first example of imagery in The Catcher in the Rye to show that the things we see in the world can change how we view the world and the people in it. “There didn't look like there was anything in the park except dog crap and globs of spit and cigar butts from old men, and the benches all looked like they'd be wet if you sat down on them” (Salinger 124). Using the park, Salinger uses imagery to show the way Holden sees the world. Through Holden’s sense of sight, he sees…

The book Animal Farm by George Orwell is about a society of animals led by a group of intelligent pigs that start a revolution against the owners of the farm in order to prove their superiority among the humans. It all started with a pig named Old Major telling all the animals about his dream of taking the farm from humans and running the farm themselves, so that all animals can live in a state of equality.

Pitiful Animals Pretty pictures painted on the walls, so many branches placed all around, magnificent creation of the land area; all these can't surpass the feeling when you're at home. Killing His creations unintentionally, forgetting the sense of equality, serving these animals the things which they think they deserve; all these are just revolving around a business. Zoos are educational and nuts but not. How could we even trust zoo proponents if they don't believe in animal rights? Animals…

DEJ1: I definitely like this book, it shows what dystopian is, and the author creates the world the animals live in as something not the worst possible, but pretty close to it for the animals. In this world all the animals except for the pigs have no power. The other animals have to do what the pigs say and are killed if they don’t do as told. DEJ2: The books society is so different from ours, animals taking over humans? That'd be something to see! I think it's different and I wouldn't be able…

Elizabeth Janeway says “Growing up human is uniquely a matter of social relations rather than biology. What we learn from connections within the family takes the place of instincts that program the behaviour of animals”.

1. Leadership in Animal farm is presented as a dictatorship which is proven to be cyclic. For instance “there was only one candidate, Napoleon who was elected unanimously” and “he carried a whip”. This implies that leadership is recognized to be cyclical as the animals are back where they started with dictators with ‘whips in their hands’. Yet, the only dissimilarity is that they have a different ruler. Also, the destructive concrete noun ‘whip;’ infers domination which is at the start and at…

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 ideas of animalism, that animals should be free and have man forcing them to…

Animal Farm is representing life when stalin was a ruler. Many of the characters in the book replicate something that has happened to influence the fall of the country. But, instead the book is replicating the fall of the farm. The book is about how the animals take over the farm and begin to follow old major’s, a pig, plan and or dream. His dream was for the animals to take back what was theirs, and to being doing things their way. Toward the end of the book the plan falls due to the fact that…
