In George Orwell’s Animal Farm the farm animals in Manor Farm stage a revolution against the humans. Two pigs named Snowball and Napoleon become the leaders of the farm animals after the revolution. Snowball uses his authority as a leader to craft plans to

Introduction In the canonical novel Animal Farm, George Orwell competently uses themes to position the reader to view Joseph Stalin as a tyrannical leader and create a scathing indictment on the Russian Revolution. Animal Farm is a masterwork of political satire and tale of oppressed uneducated underclass who longed for freedom but ultimately are exploited by assuming the very power that had originally oppressed them. 1st Paragraph - POWER THROUGH FEAR (JONES WILL COME BACK, DOGS)

Many people all over the world have a lack of education. Without a proper education, it will be difficult to have a successful life unless you have a certain skill. Throughout history, it has been proven that so many people are being manipulated just because they think it’s the right thing. The people who are rich and powerful have control and influence on others and usually have a special talent, but the majority of successful people is in their position because of knowledge. In the book Animal Farm, by George Orwell, most of the animals do not have the ability to learn, which allows them to be manipulated.

The Manipulator Squealer is one of the most persuasive animals in George Orwell’s allegory Animal Farm, owing to how he uses his clever mind, outstanding ability with words, and his appearance to manipulate the animals and twist the truth. Everyone can relate to him at some point, whether it’s trying to defend one’s opinion, lying to avoid trouble or punishment, or supporting others and their beliefs. Thanks to his clever mind, Squealer is quick to find a justification to whatever Napoleon or Snowball decide on as the proper course of action. For example, when the milk and first apples were drawn and picked the animals were deciding what to do with them; the pigs ended up receiving it, so when the animals questioned this, Squealer was the

As the novel progressed, the violence escalated as the pigs become more and more corrupt and power-hungry. The turning point for violence was when Napoleon used the dogs to relinquish Snowball’s control. At this point, the conflict shifts from the animals versus Jones to Napoleon versus the animals. From this point on, the animals live blindly under the control of Napoleon and the pigs. Much like Mr. Jones used the whip to assert dominance and control over the animals, the pigs assume his role as the head of the farm.

Manipulation is the most deceitful way for us to achieve the things we desire the most. Throughout George Orwell’s novel, Animal Farm, language and the use of persuasive language lead to the accumulation of power. Language and the disappearance of Mr.Jones is where Napoleon dictatorship is made possible. The powerful rhetorical and their smart manipulations skills of language for any situation was what controlled the farm of its entirety. Pigs manipulated the Seven Commandments,Napoleon dictating, and the deceitful lies told by the Pigs were all methods for them to gain more power.

The book’s theme of “power changes people” is shown through Napoleon, the pig. When the animals are first freed from Mr. Jones and human corruption, the pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, take it upon themselves to lead the rest of Manor Farm. “The pigs did not actually work, but directed and supervised the others. With their superior knowledge it was natural that they should assume leadership” (Orwell 13). It seemed as though the pigs wanted what was best for the others but

Snowball is well spoken and well educated, he has many great ideas on how to keep the farm self sufficient and running well. Napoleon is not a good public speaker and he is illiterate, but he somehow has a way of getting want he wants almost all the time. In the beginning of these two pigs race for leadership it seems to most that Snowball is the obvious choice he is very smart and has great ideas while Napoleon is really taking a step back from the public eye. During their fight Jones and some men attack the farm trying to gain control again, Snowball fearless leads the attack and is even injured then rewarded. Jones and his men fail and the animals keep going about their lives.

On top of this, the animals have little food, are cold, and are tired from all the working they’re having to do to please Napoleon and Squealer. Sadly the lust for power and greed from Napoleon doesn’t stop and when Boxer is injured he is taken to a glue factory even though Squealer tells the other animals that Boxer is going to the hospital and on top of all this the animal’s memory of Boxer is further tarnished by Squealer by telling them that Boxer’s last words supported the

“Animal Farm” by George Orwell, is a story to show how absolute power corrupts, just as Stalin’s power did during the Russian Revolution in 1917. In the allegory “Animal Farm” each character represents a political figure from the days around the Russian Revolution. For example, Joseph Stalin is represented by a pig named Napoleon, Squealer, another pig, represents Stalin’s propaganda department, and the dogs represent the Secret Police (KBG). Using the nine dogs that Napoleon raises (intimidation), Squealer (propaganda), and manipulation, Orwell illustrates how Napoleon was able to gain and maintain control of the farm. The nine dogs that stay by Napoleon at all times are useful for Napoleon to gain and maintain control of the farm because they scare the other animals, intimidating them so that they do not disobey Napoleon.

George Orwell relentlessly deteriorate the animal’s optimism and confidence with the use of manipulation by one of the animals and hard work and time getting razed to the ground, this would affect them

Napoleon consistently blames Snowball so the animals do not concentrate on his own faults. By scapegoating Snowball, Napoleon is able to get what he wants done without the questioning of others. Orwell shows how corrupt leaders need an enemy to blame upon hence diverting the people’s attention. In animal farm Napoleon is the almighty dictator whose power corrupts himself.

Animal Farm -the history of a rebellion that went wrong- is George Orwell 's brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power. It was first published in 1945. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalin era in the Soviet Union. In the book, Mr. Jones, the owner of the Manor farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to feed his livestock.

Quick to help but read the slow-witted, boxer shows much Devotion to animal forms ideals and your ability to think about them independently. He not evil you trust the paid to make all his decisions for him. His Sumo toes are if so I will work hard in the pulley it's always right Squealer the pig who sprays Napoleon's propaganda among the other animals. Squealer justify the pigs monopolisation of resources and spreads fall statistics pointing to the forms to save. Orwell use a Squealer to explore the ways in which those in power of the use rhetoric in language to twist the truth and gain and maintain social and political control.

Boxer was loyal to Napoleon till the day he was killed by his greedy leader. On only one rare occasion did he question authority. He believed almost every word he was told, and never stood up for what he believed was correct and moral. I illustrated Boxer with blinders on to symbolize his trusting nature and also his inability to see anything that is not staring him straight in the face. I depicted him with a boulder strapped to him, this was meant in a literal and symbolic way, Boxer let the fact that he was a work animal get in the way of aspiring to knowledge.
