When the ‘animal farm’ compare with ‘I have a dream’

Last week I read Martin Luther King’s speech, I have a dream and I read the animal farm. These two books took a big shock to my mind. This two speech have many same opinions, and I will talk you about their similarities.
The king’s speech I have a dream was made in Washtington on 10.28 1963 and this speech took a big impact to American society and citizen, and his speech represent all the negro’s mind and desire. He persuaded the black to keep fighting with enemy and not let the demonstration for freedom change into violate activities. He did this speech because he want to let more people know that black don’t content with their life and let more people know there was no real equal and freedom in American. This speech got a big successful because this speech encourage the adoption of civil rights acts.
The animal farm is a novel written by geroge orwell on 1945. Old major’s is a symbolic character in this book. He did a speech and this speech change all the animal’s life in the farm. This speech exposed the unfair and pain which animals were suffering and changed animal’s mind. Major’s persuaded the animals don’t trust people anymore and his purpose was let animals to fight human and break all the people civilization and traditional. His speech got a big successful because the animal overthrow the human’s rule.
Both speeches gave a big impact in the society where the lecturer in and get it purpose. Both speeches’ purpose was to get freedom for lecture’s race. Both lecturers died soon after speech. Although they have so many similarities but they also have differences the old major’s purpose was to get freedom for animals and revenge all the animals’ enemy, human being but martin’s purpose was to get freedom and equality for black. Old major wanted to get freedom through violence and martin wanted to get freedom through peace.

    On August 28th of 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. gave one of the most famous speeches of all time. “I Have a Dream”. The speech was heard by thousands upon thousands of people in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. This speech addressed many things, one of which was the severe racial injustices against African American citizens at the peak of the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S. King conveyed his message of social justice and equality with an essence of poise and eloquent detail. King was very good at connecting with the American people and convincing them to join the fight against the racial inequality and discrimination. This speech was so persuasive because King effectively used rhetorical methods throughout his speech. From what I took from this speech, King was able to utilize every rhetorical method including pathos, logos, and ethos.…

    Old Major, a prize-winning boar, gathers the animals of the Manor Farm for a meeting in the big barn. He tells them of a dream he has had in which all animals live together with no human beings to oppress or control them. He tells the animals that they must work toward such a paradise and teaches them a song called “Beasts of England,” in which his dream vision is lyrically described. The animals greet Major’s vision with great enthusiasm. When he dies only three nights after the meeting, three younger pigs, Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer formulate his main principles into a philosophy called Animalism. Late one night, the animals manage to defeat the farmer Mr. Jones in a battle, running him off the land. They rename the property Animal Farm and dedicate themselves to achieving Major’s dream.

    The speech “I have a dream” by Martin Luther King is acknowledged as one of the best speeches ever delivered. His escalated rhetoric demanding racial justice and an integrated society became a slogan for the black community. King’s words proved to be the basis for understanding the social and political upheaval at the time and gave the nations people a voice of their own to express what was happening. The key message King hoped to get across in his speech was that all people are created equal and that it must be the case for the future of America. King’s speech was by no means improvised, it was well researched and in preparation he studied the Bible, The Gettysburg Address and the US Declaration of Independence as he alludes to all three in his address. The speech can only be described as a political work of poetry and a well delivered, unintentional, yet beautiful, sermon full of biblical language and imagery. As well as rhythm and frequent repetition, alliteration is a key device, used to hit home major points.…

    I would really have to thank you all for your bravery and determination during the Battle of the Cowshed. Without all those hard work, there is no way we could have won the battle. I am sure that all of you remember what happened during the battle, am I right? I guess all of you were thinking that it was going to be another normal day, but something changed it all. Mr. Jones, his men and six others from the neighbouring farms were attacking the farm, hoping to regain control over animal farm. They were all armed with sticks except for Jones himself, who carried a gun. Thank goodness I had read up on the battle earlier and was well prepared, both mentally and physically. Though not expecting it, all of you did your part perfectly, except for Mollie, who was hiding behind her stall the whole time during the Rebellion. The pigeons alerted the animals that Jones and his men were going to attempt an invasion on the farm to get it back. When the men first charged, Benjamin, Muriel, the sheep and I attacked back, but it was a trap, and the men who travelled further in were surrounded by the other animals that attacked relentlessly. I was wounded while trying to attack Jones, but it was not that serious after all. Jones tried to fire at me, but the sheep behind me was shot and killed. Jones fell to the floor and his gun shot right up and fell into the mud. We have placed it at the base of the flagstaff, agreeing to fire it twice a year: on October 12th, the anniversary of the Battle of the Cowshed—as we have dubbed their victory—and on Midsummer’s Day, the anniversary of the Rebellion. Boxer thought that that he had killed a stable-lad and felt really miserable, but was cheered by the knowledge that he did not kill the stable-lad, but only stunned him. We knew this because by the time we found Mollie, the stable-lad had recovered and taken flight. Finally, boxer and I were awarded the medal “animal hero 1st class”, and the dead sheep was awarded…
