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.…
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…

The attitude you have towards work can be greatly influenced by how the person in charge runs things. This statement is true in George Orwell’s allegorical novella “Animal Farm.” The attitudes of the animals of Manor Farm (later changed to Animal Farm) change depending on who is in charge of it. Under Mr. Jones’ rule, the animals were overworked, tired and starved, and they did work only to avoid being beaten. Under the reign of Snowball and Napoleon, the animals were tired but they were well fed and happy to do work. This is because the work they did benefited themselves, rather than humans who gave nothing back to them. Finally, under Napoleon’s supremacy, the animals liked work less and less because they were tired, overworked and underfed.. So, as you can see, the person who is in control of animal farm affects the way the animals feel about work.…

The hierarchical structure of 'Animal Farm' shows how society is split into classes. The novel shows this by how the pigs who are at the top treat the other animals, often in a poor way. "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. pg.90" this commandment in the story shows how some animals are more "equal" or dominant than others, in this case the pigs. Throughout the book, the pigs never lifted a trotter in most occasions, "All that year the animals worked like slaves...Throughout the spring and summer they worked a sixty-hour week." (pg.40.) By the pigs propaganda and intelligence, all the animals were easily manipulated to doing all the hard work, believing that it was for their own benefit as well as happily working for the pigs. These social classes, creates a hierarchical structure within 'Animal Farm' where the pigs being at the top of the system while the other animals at the bottom.…
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.…
Double Faced Society In this world, we are judged for not following the norms of society, but also judged for being so involved and caught up with the norm. When it comes to making decisions, consequences do not trail far behind. For every action made, there is a price to pay. In Animal Farm by George Orwell, Boxer conforms to the society that has been established.…
In John Actons quote, “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts completely.” , is the theme of the book Animal Farm because the pigs began to take advantage of the power they got as for being the leaders of the farm and then turned themselves into the people they considered their enemies. The pigs in the beginning of the book ‘Animal Farm’ hated humans which lead to revolution. Then, the power was taken advantage of by the pigs and began to act like humans and the humans began acting like the animals. When you become leader of something you start to take advantage of that leadership power.…
Animal Farm’s goal was to have a society in which every animal is treated equally. They shortly failed at their attempt to make a perfect society. The pigs on the farm started to take charge and think highly of themselves. As this began, the farm became a democracy with the pigs in charge. Whenever the animals were at war they had a military formation. Their military formation is an…
Some people say that “rules are meant to be broken”, but often times I disagree. Rules are supposed to teach you a lesson when you break them. You most certainly shouldn't use that saying to your advantage. In the book Animal Farm, many rules that were created are shown to be broken. After the animals of Manor Farm take the farm over from their master, they create seven commandments that are all broken by none other than Animal Farm’s own leaders. Yes, all of these are eventually broken, but some of them are more prominent than the rest.…
Racism can mean so many different things to different people depending on where they stand on the situation. Anyone can look up the definition of racism, but may not view it as what it is meant to be as and have a completely different idea as to what it is. For some it may be as simple as just not liking another race while others may feel racism is being targeted and being hurt by an entire society. Many people are even racists because they give a race a stereotype leading to them always being discriminated against or wrongly accused. Incidentally, racism may be another word in the dictionary or people who are targeted and hurt, but it can also be just a stereotype that people aren’t willing to look around.…
