A baby symbolizes the dogs because of their innocence. Even though the dogs ruthlessly slaughtered so many animals, they weren't the real culprit. Napoleon trained those dogs to be as savage as they were. Jessie, Bluebell, and Pincher were all really nice dogs. When Napoleon took their young to “train them”, he commanded them to obey him or else. A baby is innocent because they have never done anything wrong. The dogs are innocent because they were puppets for
For starters, Napoleon symbolizes Fidel Castro. Fidel overthrew Batista’s government just like how Napoleon became the leader and told Snowball to leave. Another similarity in the book is Napoleon’s dogs. Napoleon’s dogs represent Castro’s army. The dog’s represent Fidel’s army because the dogs show Napoleon authority, just like how Castro’s army showed Castro. The other animals on the farm represent the citizens of Cuba. The citizens of Cuba were afraid of Fidel’s men just like how the animals were afraid of Napoleon’s dogs. The animals in Animal Farm know that if one did not follow any of Napoleon’s seven commandments, one will be punished. Just like how the citizens of Cuba were. If one did not follow the rules or disagreed, one citizen would be
In literature, symbols are used to represent something else beyond their original meaning. Many authors used symbols to portray the themes of their work without actually saying what their work is about. In “Symbolism in Literature,” it explains how symbols can have different meanings in literature and even in poetry. Claire McCarthy shows many symbols in her essay, “Dog Lab.” In “Dog Lab, “ McCarthy shows how symbols took full effect on her life and the decisions she made. Without the use of symbols, McCarthy’s argument about personal beliefs over studies wouldn’t have been expressed. McCarthy’s use of symbols, such as the dog, the television, and the rain, shows that it’s important to focus on your own personal beliefs rather than focusing
The puppy and baby water buffalo symbolize innocence and purity. In the beginning, O 'Brien recalls when a fellow soldier, Azar, strapped a puppy to a mine and squeezed the firing device. Azar rejoices in the animal 's violent death because it gives him a sense of control over his own circumstances. Later, Rat Kiley shoots a water buffalo to avenge the death of their friend, Curt Lemon. O 'Brien narrates how the animal is completely helpless against Rat 's aggression. This scene reinforces how the soldiers in the platoon have lost their sense of humanity after witnessing the brutal horrors of war. The animals remind the men of their childhood innocence which they can never recover.
Napoleon uses fear to achieve and maintain control of all the other animals. Napoleon takes Jessie and Bluebell’s nine newborn puppies and had them secretly trained in a loft to eventually become his security guards. The dogs were only loyal to him and obeyed his signals. Snowball was the first to show a difference in opinion with Napoleon with regards to building a windmill. When Napoleon realized the other animals were going to vote in favor of the windmill Napoleon summoned the dogs and they came running and chased Snowball off the farm in fear for his life. A few days later Napoleon’s dogs drag four pigs out in front of all the other animals because they had opposed Sunday meetings. The pigs confess that they collaborated with

If a survey, about what domesticated animal is good for future pet owners, was conducted today, I can bet that most pet owners would say that they prefer domesticated dogs as a pet. Dogs have been man’s best friend since the dawn of homosapiens, approxitmately 15,000 years ago. If humans and dogs have overtime created this bond, then how was that connection created and how strong is it?

What people don't quite understand is that having autism can be positive. People who are autistic learn and think visually. They tend to think outside of the box and excel at recalling memories.

Violet decided to hide, “At bedtime she wouldn't come to bed but spent all night alone in the dark hall by the door, waiting for Bingo.” (Thomas 107). Violet does this because she cares about Bingo.
Napoleon has shown his assertiveness through his actions when it comes to taking control of the farm. Since the pigs were naturally regarded as hierarchical figures at the farm, Napoleon uses his given position of authority as a launch-pad for his reign. A few weeks after Jones fled the farm, Bluebell gave birth to her litter, “Napoleon took them away from their mother, saying that he would make himself responsible for their education,” (Hardback 26-30). The confidence he showed in his decision to take in and educate the puppies proved that he is self-assured in his decisions made regarding the farm. This decision did not only affect the present and

Naguib Mahfouz’s The Thief and the Dogs was written in 1961 and is a highly complex novel amongst the author’s most celebrated works. Utilising a stream of consciousness style that engages the reader from the opening to the conclusion of the novel, it embraces themes like morality, anarchy, revenge and betrayal. However, it also examines the impact of darkness and it is this theme that is highlighted by minor characters throughout the text. For example, Nur, a prostitute who is in love with main protagonist Said, is introduced in order to inject lightness into the narrative in stark contrast to the dark and disheartening tales that are conveyed through the more prevalent characters.
