George Orwell's Animal Farm

During the early stages of Animal Farm the pigs slightly took advantage of their intelligence level by not doing labor work; instead they “directed and supervised the others. With their superior knowledge it was natural that

A simple definition of propaganda could be spreading ideas and information to help or harm a person but mostly a group and propaganda films has propaganda in it. When I was watching the movie “Triumph of the Will” I can clearly see a great example of political propaganda. What Hitler was doing here is spreading his ideas and beliefs to convince the public. The article Paradox of Propaganda states that “When Luis Bunuel showed his edited version of Triumph of the Will to an audience consisting of President Roosevelt, Rene Clair and Charles Chaplin they all agreed the film was too good to be used against itself”.

The animals in the book “Animal Farm” hoped to achieve unity, equality. trust/truth, prosperity, better quality of life, freedom and individuality, in terms of the revolution. This was achieved at the beginning of the revolution, which made it a success, but in the end the revolution was a failure.

In the novel “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, the animals take over the farm and develop their own independent society. Just as it happened during the Russian Revolution of 1917. George Orwell underlies the tension between the oppressed and the exploiting classes between the condescending ideals and harsh realities of socialism.

In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, the animal’s take over the farm and develop their own independent society. The animals develop their own society because they are being mistreated by the farmer. They manage the farm by themselves and establish tranquility, until some animals desire greed and power more than the others. The representation of animals taking over the farm relates to communism during Orwell’s life.

Animal Farm is a fairy story had expressed the historical facts from the Russian Revolution while in Second World War and it the story was written by George Orwell. This story had reflected a lot of moral value and experience from the reality of life. It story also represented the political decency while he had gone to Spain to fight for that government with his painful snobbishness experiences and social elitism at Eton. Esteem and considering your people with equality,; remain your moderation even you are in high position and powerful,; Always question your authority and brave to speak for your own opinion, these are that three important themes and lessons I had learned from this novel.

What message is George Orwell trying to portray in Animal Farm? An allegory reveals a message that an author tries to get across without directly saying. George Orwell wrote Animal Farm to convey the real events that occured before and after the Russian Revolution. The Russian Revolution brought communism and new changes throughout Russia. Which soon lead the group in the communist party to take more control over the Russian citizen, so it could better the leaders. The allegory of Animal Farm emphasises the slow failure of communism that occurred during and after the Russian Revolution through the characters of Napoleon, Snowball, and Old Major.

In what was a vastly controversial novel published in 1945, George Orwell’s Animal Farm describes the horrific brand of communism in the Soviet Union and the conscious blindness that most of the West accepted at that time. Although Orwell labeled Animal Farm as a fairy tale, this historically parallel novel branches into the genres of political satire, fable, and allegory as well.

In novel “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, he mentions the animals in the farm they all have the vision of freedom after Old Major’s prediction. They rebilled against the farmers and after their victory they tasted the revolution. The farm was renamed “Animal Farm” and made the constitution of the manor – “the seven commandments.” Soon there is a split on the revolution between the pigs, Snowball was declared as an enemies of the revolution. Since then Napoleon and Squealer obtained the leadership of the farm, immediately they have more power and more preferential treatment, they gradually moved away from other animals, and eventually become exploiters for exactly the same as humans, the original ideals of animal farm name is also be abandoned. One theme of animal farm is that we need to have a clever mind to see through unfair trick, before it is too late.

One key aspect about Animal Farm is the leader's corruption. The pigs are way smarter and more clever than the other animals so they can easily trick most of them into anything they want. All the animals had part in the rebellion and all do a lot of work to keep the farm alive. They put a lot of effort to have a good life for an animal but yet the pigs are trying to make everything better for them and not for the others. They get more food, they don't have to work, and they get beds to sleep on instead of hay beds like the other animals. Old Major himself dreamed about a perfect world with free animals that don't have to worry about starving or humans hitting with animals abuse. I say the Animal farm does not resemble a Utopia for the educated

To run a successful society, citizens need rules to abide and a higher arcing power to supply such rules. Enter, the government. Now, government can be good, bad, helpful, unaccommodating, and in some cases, downright ridiculous. Animal Farm however, is a case of a government being corrupt and unfair to the governed, and using its power in an unchecked fashion. The leadership in the Animal Farm is quickly corrupted into a hardcore dictatorship in a variety of ways, such as the lack of knowledge throughout the whole body of citizens, the abuse of power from a “superior” group, and no opposition to the ruling state.

George Orwell’s novel ‘Animal Farm’, published in 1945, has an overarching theme of power and corruption. In the novel, once certain animals were given the opportunity to control the rest of the animals of the farm, the hierarchy was twisted for the leaders’ nefarious purposes. Misery quickly ensued. The governing animals became corrupted and nasty, while the controlled population was oppressed and miserable, forced to obey the controllers whims. This novel has much relevant social commentary on issues related to discriminatory power. Orwell believed that unjust power corrupted the minds of both the oppressed and the oppressors. People that are given unjust power based on prejudicial laws begin to feel validified in their actions, and in turn transform into monsters who question nothing of the validity of these laws. On the other hand, those who these laws oppress take the brunt of cruelty in these ordinances. These individuals are brutalized by physically, and mentally - leaving it extremely difficult to fight back against these oppressive actions. It is evident that discriminatory certainly can transform everyone involved. Oppressive unjust laws based on biases very often have negative consequences on the oppressed, as well as the oppressors.

Animal agriculture has been around for thousands of years. The desire for inexpensive meat, dairy, and eggs resulted in the increasing demand for factory farms. Animal agriculture is breeding animals to produce animal products or in simpler terms, raising animals for food. Factory farms occupy 80% of the U.S agriculture land. The land is used to either raise the animals or to grow their food. Only a small percentage of farmers use humane practices but the majority fill their animals with an abundance of chemicals and antibiotics.

Animal Farm is established with moral intentions. The neglected animals of the farm rise up to overthrow Jones, and imagine a society of fairness based on the experiences of old major, in which all animals will have justice and won’t be demoralized by the people anymore. Old Major quickly establishes that “Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend” (Orwell 11). He also reminds them that the ways of man are completely immoral, and they must not ever implement any of their habits. Giving the animals a shared enemy is an effective way to control the population. That is the first sign of a totalitarian state emerging in Animal Farm. Instead of the entire farm determining rules together, two pigs frame the rules of Animalism for the supposed utopian-like Animal Farm. They read:

The educated animals are the ones with power, and the pigs take advantage of this including, the leaders, Snowball and Napoleon. In Animal Farm, pigs are not expected to work but only dictate and supervise the other animals. They walk behind the workers, "calling out ‘Gee up, comrade!’ or ‘Whoa back, comrade!’"(11), to order them around. The productions are then handed out unfairly as the milk is added to the pig's meal and the ripening apples are only shared among them. Although the other animals find this absurd, Squealer convinces them by saying the farm depends on the intelligence of the pigs and must be cared for the most in case Mr.Jones comes back to take over the farm once again. The animals dislikes for such a scenario to happen and
