Beast Of England By George Orwell Ap Language

“The singing of this song [“Beasts of England”] threw the animals into wildest excitement” (Orwell 13).
Using a simple sentence, Orwell meant to convey an idea (the singing) in one thought without adding other thoughts/ideas to take the focus away from the topic. In this sentence, Orwell refers to the USSR national anthem and Marx’s communistic speech when he mentions the song, “Beasts of England”. Furthermore, the animals’ excitement to hear the song correlates with the eagerness to believe in the success of the Soviet Union. “Everyone fled to his own sleeping-place” (Orwell 14).

By putting a single thought into a simple sentence, Orwell communicates key points in a fairly clear way without involving many

This sentence refers to the way the pigs (the communists) convinced the other animals to follow the Animalistic ideas. In a way, this sentence directly correlates to the real-life communists that lived in Russia, and the way they persuaded the rest of Russia to rebel and create a new
