Orwell‚ the author of Animal Farm‚ is known to commend the hard work of the working class‚ however never for their intelligence or leadership qualities. To the author‚ laborers are not just people with a limited education‚ but rather people who are sub par to those with higher intelligence levels. Throughout the novel‚ Orwell exhibits the value of hard work; however‚ it is proven to be inferior to intelligence; this is displayed by Boxer‚ the majority of the other animals on the farm‚ and the leaders

Orwell’s 1984 Eleven years prior to the beginning of the action in 1984‚ Winston Smith accidentally comes across a photograph of three men: Jones‚ Aronson‚ and Rutherford.

In Shooting an Elephant‚ I think that Orwell may have been cowardice. He knew that shooting that elephant was wrong‚ but he didn’t anyway. He wanted to impress the large crowd that had gathered around him. He wanted to show that white men are powerful and more important. He thought that by shooting the elephant‚ he would prove that he wasn’t a fool. He was taught‚ and everyone around him was taught‚ that white men should be in control of situations. He was supposed to know what to do; he was supposed
