How Does Napoleon Use Language In Animal Farm

In this propaganda poster, Squealer is convincing the animals that Snowball deserved his expulsion from the farm. The poster uses fear propaganda to influence the animals’ beliefs. Squealer uses lies such as saying Snowball is a “confirmed criminal” as well as frightening images to explain why Snowball was evil and chased out. Snowball is shown as a large reddish pig surrounded by darkness with the words ‘confirmed CRIMINAL’ behind him. He is much larger and menacing than any other animal and is holding a pitchfork, which is a sign of human oppression. ‘Snowball is STEALING our society’ is in front of him, between him and the other animals. Alliteration is used to grab the animals’ attention in addition to making it easier to read. The words ‘stealing’ and ‘criminal’ are emphasized in order to bring the animals’ attention to Snowball’s malevolent intentions.

Perhaps the most significant one of all was Napoleon throwing out the second most powerful animal on the farm, simply because he was a threat to his own reign. The animals were so engrossed by Napoleon that they fully supported the termination of Snowball, solely for the reasons given to them via Napoleon. “Napoleon produced his schemes of his own, but said quietly that snowball would come to nothing.” (54). At such an early point after the pigs power was established, Napoleon had already started to create a divide between Snowball and himself. When he told the other animals how horrible for the farm Snowball supposedly is, the farm would start to trust him more and therefore depend on his more.While gaining the animals trust more, he simultaneously gained more power for himself, for with Snowball gone all the power he had would now be his. “He had seemed to oppose the windmill, simply as a maneuver to get rid of Snowball…Now that Snowball was out of the way, the plan could go forward without his interference.”(58). Napoleon is willing to do anything to gain and maintain his own power, regardless of how it is done and who will be effected by it. As shown by this windmill incident, Napoleon will use any instance to further manipulate the other animals, just to gain even one more sliver of much desired

Napoleon changed the battle of the cowshed from Snowball being the hero to him partnering with Mr. Jones and luring the animals into a trap Loyalty and obedience are more important. “And as to the Battle of the Cowshed, I believe the time will come when we shall find that Snowball’s part in it was much exaggerated.” (document D). He also made many revisions to the seven commandments “ There was nothing there now except a single Commandment. It ran: ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS”(document A).This cause a shift from one social class in which all animals were equal to two different social classes where the upper social class is treated as royalty. These small adjustments to history made it so Napoleon was an honored war hero, smarter and richer than most animals, and perfect in the eyes of the

At this there was a terrible baying sound outside and nine enormous dogs came bounding into the barn. They dashed straight for Snowball,” with this ousting of Snowball, Napoleon secured his place as dictator of the animals. After securing his position Napoleon was able to gather a group of pigs together that were meant to help him govern the other animals. The pigs were placed in this position because they were considered to be the most intelligent of all the animals. Further political corruption occurred when Napoleon begins to slowly add changes to the 7 laws or commandments set up by a past leader. Because not all the animals on the farm can read it made it easy for Napoleon to change the rules ever so slightly that the changes were barely noticeable. This parallel in today’s society can be seen when comparing under privileged areas to middle class areas, for example emphasis on education. Those with less education are more easily manipulated than those with higher education. It is

Throughout George Orwell’s Animal Farm, Squealer continuously persuades and manipulates the animals for the personal gain of the pigs. Squealers main role in Animal Farm is to convince the animals to agree with Napoleon. Squealer uses card stacking which uses bias facts and statistics to promote a cause. Also, he uses the transfer method which associates one thing with another thing. Lastly, Squealer uses flag waving which uses a special feeling to persuade people.

‘Animal Farm’ is an allegory of the Russian Revolution, where animals in the book represent certain revolutionaries and depict them through their similar actions and roles in the story. The pigs are able to gain power with their intelligence, but eventually oppress their fellow animals, and lead the revolution in the wrong direction. In George Orwell’s novel ‘Animal Farm’, the impacts of education and literacy are prevalent to the success of the revolution because the more knowledgeable animals are able to win the support and trust of their peers, as shown by Squealer’s rhetorical language, Snowball’s beneficial and brilliant ideas, and Napoleon’s assumed knowledge. Squealer continuously lies to his peers about how they have an abundance

Their malfunction as ruling figures is another way Orwell exemplifies his philosophy. Snowball comes across as the more compassionate and charismatic of the two, where as Napoleon is the thinker and has more “depth of character.” The two compete for power and use propaganda and catchy slogans to gain control of the public majority.

The animals want to escape humans, but what happens when one of their own turns on them? The story Animal Farm by George Orwell, Is about the animals on Mr. Jones's Manor Farm. The Oldest pig is Old Major, and he describes a dream he had. His dream was of the animals rebelling against the humans. A few days later, Old major dies in his sleep and Two new pigs take power, Snowball and Napoleon. Then make the rules of Animalism called the seven amendments. Napoleon wants to be in full control, so he uses guard dogs he raised to banish Snowball and then lies and says Snowball is a “bad guy”. Napoleon continues to change things until he is the unquestioned ruler of the farm. The theme corruption can change people. The story shows this through Napoleon's dialogue, actions, and appearance.

When questions aroused about how in the Battle of Cowshed Comrade Napoleon wasn't as brave as they all thought, the only solution was to push the blame to Snowball. The pigs thought that if they explained to the lower animals how Snowball was against them, no one would look to Napoleon for the blame anymore. " That was our mistake, comrade. For we know now----it is all written down in the secret documents that we have found----that in reality he was trying to lure us to our doom" (80). If the animals were smarter and had better memories, they could have remembered this battle more vividly then they wouldn't have seen what the pigs were trying to accomplish. They would have seen how Squealer was manipulating their minds into thinking that Comrade Napoleon was the hero, Snowball was the enemy and he himself had been in on the human's plan with Jones. Not only did the pigs say Snowball betrayed Animal Farm, but they also suggested that he created mischief on the farm while the animals slept at night.

Can a leader manipulate you to believe everything he or she says? In the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, Napoleon develops a cult of personality, as he became a dictator of Animal Farm. Napoleon took control of the Farm as he began to establish powerful and caring traits, those as would be shown in a leader. Important aspects of Napoleon becoming a dictator can be attributed to his cult of personality by him being charismatic. Napoleon uses manipulation,deception, and being hypocritical.  Napoleon uses other animals to support him in his decisions for the Farm. The actions shows Napoleon's personality and speech help support his plans..The desire to move ahead can cause change in opinion and mislead you to believe in the wrong path.

Soon after building the windmill, it falls and Napoleon blames Snowball for its destruction. Some of the animals sympathize with Snowball, saying that there was no way he could have pushed it over. Napoleon becomes angry, purging the farm, killing anyone who he accuses of allying with Snowball. After he did so, animals questioned his tactics only for Napoleon to ask the animals, “Surely comrades, you would not want Jones back? (Orwell, pg. 67 Chap. 6)” By saying this rhetorical question, the animals would not question what it was that Jones had done that was worse than Napoleon, and they would just get back to doing their work. Napoleon used Squealer the pig to help him get out of situations that he brought upon himself. When Napoleon would say something that he was not supposed to, Squealer would justify for

Snowball and Napoleon are both persuasive. For example, during an argument about the windmill, “Snowball often won over the majority by his brilliant speeches, but Napoleon was better at canvassing support for himself in between times” (63). Snowball and Napoleon both drag animals to their sides for their support due to propaganda and persuasion. Snowball trumps with his marvelous speeches and way of words. However, Napoleon uses his brute strength to guide other animals to him. Both use persuasion but in different forms. Furthermore, the animals argue about the defense setup and the animals, “Could not make up their minds which was right; indeed, they always found themselves in agreement with the one who was speaking at the moment” (66). The pigs both use their strengths to lead the other to his weakness. However, they both cleverly guide the animals one way or another before they are twisted up and confused. They both use persuasion to lend the animals a hand in who to vote for. Both think about their reign of Animal Farm and persuade to win over the other. Lastly, Snowball

First, Napoleon showed his effectiveness as a leader because he established trust with the other animals on the farm. No matter if he earned their trust or not, the animals eventually put their faith in every decision he made. One particular animal that showed unending trust in Napoleon was Boxer, a large horse. On many occasions Boxer says, “Ah, that is different! If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right” (58). In this scene Squealer tries to convince the animals that Snowball was against them all along and Boxer has trouble believing that. Finally, after many different ways of trying explaining his reasons, Squealer says that Napoleon told him that Snowball was evil, and Boxer instantly trusts what Squealer said, because it first came

Throughout the story, you see the way that the pig, Squealer, gives information to the “lowly” animals. He tells them what the leading pig, Napoleon, wants them to know, but he tells it in a way that it seems they are benefitting. Squealer had a way of persuading the other animals to listen to him, through his actions and manipulation. “The best known among them was a small, fat pig named Squealer, with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements and a shrill voice. He was a brilliant talker, and when he was arguing some difficult point he had a way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail, which was somehow very persuasive. The others said of Squealer that he could turn black to white.”

In this example he tells the other animals that Snowball was teamed up with Jones to try to recapture the farm from the animals to take the rebelling out of there minds. In this particular example one of the animals says in Snowball's defense that he fought with courage in the battle of the Cowshed, and that everyone saw him with blood seeping out of him. Squealer replies to the animals by saying, "That was part of the arrangement! Jones' shot only grazed him. I could show you this in his 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 for the enemy. And he very nearly succeeded-if it had not been for out heroic leader comrade Napoleon" (Orwell 80). Squealer recalls the battle of the Cowshed the way the pigs wanted it to be remembered, with as much detail of Napoleon saving the farm as possible. Although the animals don't actually recall it that way they believed it because Squealer has remembered it in much more detail than the animals did. This is also an excellent example of Squealer manipulating the other animals on the farm. He also takes the animals' lack of intelligence to his advantage whenever he can. When Snowball was in change Squealer was living in his shadow. But when Napoleon came to power Squealer also shared the spotlight. Squealer wasn't being used to his full potential under Snowball,
