Animal Farm
My fellow comrades,
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

    I was soon relieved from this guard, and with those who were able, of our two regiments, sent to reinforce those in the fort [Mifflin], which was then besieged by the British. Here I endured hardships sufficient to kill half a dozen horses. Let the reader only consider for a moment and he will still be satisfied if not sickened. In the cold month of November, without…

    Dear Mother, It’s been a long time since I had the opportunity to sit down and write you a letter. I miss you and father a lot. I am overjoyed to be writing this letter to you. The mood here is one of jubilation. Our assault on Vimy Ridge began at 5:30 am on Easter Monday, eight days ago. We lost a lot of good boys but I am so very pleased to inform you that the Canucks got the job done! What the French couldn’t do for two years and the Brits too we, Byng’s Boys did in three days. I was assigned to the front line in the trenches as part of the 7th Canadian Infantry Brigade attached to the 4th Canadian Division. This is actually the first time all four divisions got to work together as a unified Canadian Corps. They practiced us to death. The Captain kept going over and over and over every detail of our attack. It got to a point that we could have attacked those Germans in our sleep and you know how much I love my sleep Mother. The morning arrived. The weather was vile. A sleet storm fell on the plains of Douai making the already treacherous ground a quagmire of mud and puddles. Then we unleashed heaven’s fury on the Germans. I cannot describe adequately the sound of the artillery barrage we put upon the Huns. I can only compare it to what an ant might experience sitting on the muzzle end of a machine gun. The unbearable thunder of the shells and the rattle of the machine guns made it unable to hear my own thoughts let alone the chap next to me in the trench. If you looked up Mother, the sky was a carpet of red hot metal. Consistent firing of bullets and shells created an area above the ground where nothing could survive. As a matter of fact I believe I heard that four of our own airplanes were shot down because they flew too low into the onslaught.…

    Animal Farm/V for Vendetta

    • 2485 Words
    • 7 Pages

    In many great texts concerning the politics, it can be observed that the context in which the piece was created greatly influences the ways in which values and themes are presented and the form in which it is produced. Major ground shaking events have the power to transform paradigms of individuals and whole societies, and in turn morph and influence the themes a text created in the same time period implores. Warner Brother's 2005 film "V for Vendetta" and George Orwell's 1945 novelette "Animal Farm" both deal with concepts present in the political climates of their times and the problems associated with them; the cost of apathy towards injustice, propaganda and its influence, and the crippling aspect of fear. The representation of the themes present in the two texts contrast and compare in many ways due to the diversity in the contexts under which each was created and the universal continuity of the themes present. Orwell's 1945 text was created at the end of the Russian social revolution that left the once optimistic Russian people in tatters and under the boot of a brutal fascist regime, while the Hollywood movie was created post 9/11 in a time where people turned to their government for protection from unknown threats, willing to sacrifice their liberty for safety. It was situated in a future dystopia as opposed to Animal Farm's historical setting and warned of what could be the outcome of choosing to blindly follow the neo-conservative politics of film's time such as Bush's and Thatcher's parties. Both texts make political statements that are influenced by the historical and personal context of their creation and contrast and compare greatly in form and values.…

    “Among the pathetic incidents of that morning was one which indicated the unselfish heroism of a young soldier. Early in the day some of our men were looking over the battlefield of the night before for missing comrades, and one, I remember, spoke of having found a young boy, apparently not over eighteen years of age, lying with his shattered leg in a pool of blood. My comrade spoke to him saying, "I will go and get somebody to help carry you off," whereupon, the wounded boy faintly remarked: "I do not think you can do me any good, but during the night I heard groans coming from over the hill yonder, and I think if you go there you may be able to save some one; but if you will…

    We are at Vimy Ridge now. I am sitting in my dugout, endlessly gazing at the artillery barrage outside. The sun is starting to set, and the light is pouring the entrance. Today have been a harsh day, and I will take some time to write a letter to you before I slumber. The significance about writing to you today is because it may be my very last letter. Tomorrow, we are going on an all-out assail. It is going to be the day that will not only change my own fate, but also fate of thousands of warriors. I have been through a lot in the past battles, but the war has never been as devastating. Thousands…

    As taxes pile up more and more over the years, more people decided they wanted to support the rebellion. Colonists acted and treated british soldiers on streets as they pass by with lots of aggression and even violence. In no time, Radical Americans that decided they have had enough took actions to attack the british troops demanding for a confrontation. 60 young men started to mob around the Customhouse where a small squadron of soldiers were guarding and started to harass the soldiers.

    I had just arrived to my destination: Gallipoli, Turkey. As nervous as I was already with shivers down my spine nearly every minute I didn’t want to lose my young life tomorrow. It was a long ride but my troops and I were prepared for what could come our way. We jumped off the half sunken ship due to the enormous amount of soldiers. It was going to be a long and hard battle. The water we had to walk through to set up our camps was muddy and clumpy I was hoping I don’t get trench foot. Me, as the leader leaded on where we have to set up our camps. We set up our tents around the gruesome field of dead, yellow, sun dried grass next to the sandy rough hills. Rain had just started sprinkling and the next minute, hailing, it lit out our fire along with a deathlike thunderstorm. The dogs started howling under the glowing half-moon that gave us the only light left. I knew the next day only brought frightful visions of what will come to us tomorrow….…

    a. Napoleon took Jessie and Bluebell’s pups to “educate” them. I think that Napoleon is going to educate them on not only reading and writing but on the rebellion and how to develop new strategies. In my opinion they will be taught to think by what Napoleon is thinking because he is going to teach them in his manner.…

    Animal Farm And 1984

    • 1449 Words

    George Orwell 's views on totalitarian governments were not concealed from public view. He expressed his thoughts and opinions through his books. Among these books were Nineteen - Eighty -Four and Animal Farm, which were his works that most obviously portrayed his disfavor for totalitarian governments. Totalitarian governments are controlled by political authorities who have control of all aspects of society. Nineteen-Eighty-Four and Animal Farm are two different books that have different ways of expressing the same theme. For example, Animal Farm is constructed on a farm and the characters are animals and Nineteen - Eighty - Four is set in a society with actual people. However, they still express how totalitarian governments are faulty systems with horrible leaders. Animal Farm and 1984 share a mutual theme, Orwell 's fear of totalitarian governments, but they also share differences of characters, settings, and sub-themes.…

    Napoleon uses Squealer to be his mouthpiece for propaganda. Napoleon, Squealer and Snowball first codify Old Major's sayings into "Animalism". This give the animals some kind of guide and explanation for changes made to the Animal Farm. However, Napoleon is not opposed to changing some of the tenets of animalism to suit his own purposes. Using Squealer as his voice, he has explanations for why the pigs need the milk, and why the commandments keep changing. His biggest coup is changing history to include the idea that Snowball was really an enemy of the revolution and never received the order of "Animal Hero, First Class." Napoleon also has Squealer teach the animals a new song to replace Old Major's original anthem. The new song explains why the pigs are walking on their hind legs. Like all good propaganda,the changes are instituted slowly with just enough time in between to allow the animals to absorb the change and not to question the next change.…

    Animal Farm

    Animal Farm is a fable that represents Stalinism in Russia. Also, it can be related to how many world leaders, and politicians get away with things that others don't because of their position in the world. I think the main theme is that absolute power corrupts absolutely which we see once the pigs become identical to the humans at the end of the book. I think that Orwell is trying to tell us that even people who start out very idealistic can become corrupted.…
