Diary of Old Major
Dear Diary,

Today is the start of the novel "Animal Farm" and guess what; I'm the first animal to be mentioned in this first section of the book. Ha Ha Ha I'm the greatest pig in the story ain't I? That's all because of course I'm the leader of the rest of the animals. In this farm, I took control over the living condition and dealt with all the problems there are. Today I gathered all of the animals for a brief session of meeting and I started off by telling my dream to them. Not so important about my dream, I began talking to them how I really felt right now. There's something deep down inside of me that just really triggers my feeling of resentment. Hatred surrounds me and rebellion is just in the air. I explained to the flock that we as animals are not treated equal at all by humans. For example, animals grew old; we fought for a living, and in the end what do we get? Our meats sold to the butcher, we are killed selfishly, and eaten by humans. Life is hard and I know we all can't deny it. Why must we be born into this crucial world where this unfair life is in front of our very own eyes? Why must I be suffering while humans seem to enjoying themselves each and every time I notice? Only one hardest fact that I've been trying so hard to accept all my entire life, is that pigs are sent with one purpose in this life which is to be eaten as meat. That specific phrase had been haunting me since I was born until now and it is the answer to the question of how cruel this life is. In my eyes, humans are just ‘the only dumb creatures that consumes without producing' besides that, I have a dream and vision that one day all animals in England live freely in harmony without the disturbance of humans. After all that, I introduced a song that is surely an important anthem to us, it is called "Beasts of England". As we all sang this song, the presence of joy in all the animal's eyes came before me and feeling of pride was also felt knowing that everyone

    A Summary Of Daniel Junior's Diary

    It was ridiculously hard to get married back in the 1700s but after years I met my beloved Abigail Gilbert at the age of 25 and we wed in 1772, it’s been history since. Months after our wedding I got the news that I was going to be a father of a boy and the name Daniel Junior came to mind, later in 1773 he was finally born. Years passed and I became father to more children including two beautiful girls. We eventually had to go down the road to Shutesbury in the west so I was able to join the militia there because I wasn’t able to stay as a member in the Brookfield Militia. Moving was hard but the outcome was great because after all my hard work in drilling I was known as Sergeant Daniel Shays and later on turned to Lieutenant Daniel Shays.…

    Dred Scott V. Sandford Case Analysis

    In Dred Scott v. Sandford the case started in 1856 and ended in 1857. “The Supreme Court decided that Americans of African descent, whether free or slave, were not American citizens and could not sue in federal court. The Court also ruled that Congress lacked power to ban slavery in the U.S. territories. Finally, the Court declared that the rights of slaveowners were constitutionally protected by the Fifth Amendment because slaves were categorized as property.” - Alex McBride (McBride 2006, 411). The verdict was unlawful and absurd.…

    This Essay is about How the Last Sentence, In George Orwell's "Animal Farm", Relates to the Rest of the Book. This is about the irony in the story of how one being became what it hated.

    The last sentence in the book Animal Farm relates to the book in so many ways. First I must say that in the end the pigs became what they hate. The pigs slowly became just like Jones throughout the book. They even broke their own thought up commandments and changed them. They believed they were more important than all the rest of the animals on Animal Farm. Napoleon became the leader and worked the animals even harder than Jones did. The pigs wanted things to be better yet they ended up being the same as humans.…

    The Diary of a Young Girl(181-210)

    Early yesterday morning, I saw that Cecilia Kang at the Washington Post had a story up about the years-long fight for white spaces entitled: Tech, telecom giants take sides as FCC proposes large public WiFi networks. It struck me as odd, because so much in the article seemed... wrong or misleading. The main part about efforts to finally do something with the old TV spectrum isn't anything new at all. We first wrote about the FCC "proposing" this back in 2004 and have covered it a few times since. The FCC has been trying to use some of that TV spectrum for better, more efficient and more useful endeavors. It's been an ongoing battle that feels like it's never going to end. The short version is that TV broadcasters got a ton of free spectrum many years ago (just look at how giant chunks of the spectrum chart belong to TV broadcasters). A big part of the move to digital TV was to force broadcasters to give up a chunk of wasted, valuable spectrum that can be turned into (among other things) some useful wireless services. TV broadcasters hate this and have been fighting it in a variety of ways.…

    Animal Farm Theoretical Analysis

    Animal Farm is the account of a fictional farm under the tyrannical ownership of Farmer Jones. The animals reach breaking point, and start a revolution against the tyranny of man. The revolution starts off to better the situation and the animals are happy with what they have. But over time, the pigs become most powerful animals on the farm. They turn the farm from a free democratic state into a communist state. The pigs then state that “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others”. As the book is actually a satirical commentary, it has a direct analogy to society. In Animal Farm’s case, it is the…

    Essay On A Utopian Society In George Orwell's Animal Farm

    In George Orwell's fable Animal Farm, the animals want equality and freedom, but is not achieved due to the nature of their human oppressors. The animals rebel and send their humans oppressors off like a herd of turtles. The pigs on the farm become the dictators, turning the farm they live on into a utopia. But over time, they do practices similar to that of their former masters, bringing the situation of the farm back to where it was originally as a dystopia. A literal revolution. Animal Farm uses symbolism, allegories, personification, and dramatic irony to show…

    Ethos, Logos and Pathos

    Reverend Charles Caleb Colton, a writer of pros and poetry, once said, “Corruption is like a ball of snow, once its set a rolling, it must increase”. Once corruption has started, there is so many people involved, greed sets in, and it’s so big of a problem it is so hard to stop it or leave it alone, and once you’re in too deep it’s difficult to get out. Under those circumstances, a book called “Animal Farm”, by George Orwell, was an allegory. It was published on the heels of World War II in England in 1945 and in the United States in 1946. The book was written during the war as a cautionary short story in order to expose the dangers presented by Stalinism and Totalitarian Government. With this intention, the pigs on Animal Farm used the three modes of persuasion to manipulate the other animals on the farm.…

    Annotated Bibliography On Animal Farm

    [(essay date 1998) In the following essay, originally published in 1984, Patai provides a feminist interpretation of Animal Farm.] Although Animal Farm is mentioned in scores of studies of Orwell, no critic has thought it worth a comment that the pigs who betray the revolution, like the pig who starts it, are not just pigs but boars, that is, uncastrated male pigs kept for breeding purposes. Old Major, the "prize Middle White boar" who has called a meeting to tell the other animals about his dream, is initially described in terms that establish him as patriarch of this world: "He was twelve years old and had lately grown rather stout, but he was still a majestic-looking pig, with a wise and benevolent appearance in spite of the fact that his tushes had never been cut." In contrasting his life with those of the less fortunate animals on the farm, Major says: "I am one of the lucky ones. I am twelve years old and have had…

    Dear diary History Homewor 2

    I was trudging across dreaded communications trench, feet and clothes damp and cold. The mud had gone hard as it was crunching under my worn out, over sized boots. I was considered lucky to even get boots. It was a narrow trench that was shared by many young and innocent soldiers who were limping to the fatal front line; I looked up into the sullen and weary eyes of a petrified soldier with curly black hair like a plate of broken noodles. His clothes were tired and filthy with a foul and putrid stench. He looked stunned and dark eyed and at that moment he limped and crawled away, so obviously had just been to the front line. At that second I jumped slightly in anxious fear as I heard rifle fire and machine-gun fire in the distance, the fear and darkness was beginning to penetrate my body. There was a crackling pop of the flares going up and lighting up the dull and rainy sky above that made my eyes aware that it was nearing afternoon. I felt extremely discomfited and miserable missing home. I was close to the front line. I heard a large boom followed by screams and then silence. I was smart enough to know what that meant. Soldiers suffered slowly and steadily. Anxious. That’s all I felt right now.…

    Animal Farm Anticipation Guide Responses

    I disagree, because I do not believe that everyone is created equal. Some people are born with disadvantages in the social field, while others are blessed with almost every characteristic that our modern society considers “perfect”. The socially disadvantaged people have to go through their entire lives dealing with judgement from everyone, and it is not their fault. I do believe that at birth, everyone is completely equal, but it is as they are growing up the the social inequalities come in. Society judges them for being who they are, and creates those inequalities.…

    Arnold Spirit Jr. is the geekiest Indian on the Spokane Reservation. He wears chunky, lopsided glasses. His head and body look like Sputnik on a toothpick. When he doesn’t stutter, he lisps. Arnold is a 14-year-old high school freshman. When he goes outside he gets teased and beaten, so he spends a lot of time in his room drawing cartoons. “I think the world is a series of broken dams and floods,” he says, “and my cartoons are tiny little lifeboats.”…

    animal farm

    The first thing that the animals changed about the farm is the name. They changed the name of the farm from Manor farm, to Animal farm. They all learn the song "beasts of England" that Old major had taught them before the rebellion. They have also made up 7 commandments that all animals on the farm must live by. They use the phrase "four legs good, two legs bad," to remember the 7 commandments. They use this because not all animals on the farm can read, but sense the rebellion a lot of them have learned, or have learned few letters of the alphabet. The pigs can read and write perfectly. They have made the majority of animals to believe that they are the most intelligent animals on the farm, so they should be in charge. Instead of Mr. Jones telling the animals what to do, the pigs make the decisions. All the animals are happy because they get to live their lives without the humans. The animals work for the pigs without questioning their authority. They are happy because the pigs watch as the hard working animals (like boxer for example) does all the work. Boxer now believes that Napoleon is always right, so he does whatever he wishes. Some animals decide to leave the farm (Molly for example), but most animals have stayed loyal to the farm and put forward a lot of hard work and dedication.…

    How Does George Orwell Use Metaphors In Animal Farm

    The famous book Animal Farm, by George Orwell, is a short story, symbolizing the time under Joseph Stalin’s rule. Orwell focuses on the characteristics of his characters to relive the tragic years of this communism. In his fable, the pigs are the ruling class of society without the farm; the leader of this society is a pig named Napoleon, who is to represent Stalin and his cruel personality. The pigs are able to control the thoughts and actions of his subjects through strong use of rhetorical devices such as metaphors, amplifications, antanagoges, and anaphoras. By using these devices, the pigs were able to keep control of Animal Farm and persuade the emotions of the animals towards thinking they were wise and kind enough to rule over them.…
