The conclusion of animal farm was a rather depressing one. I knew at the beginning of the book that it was suppose to draw a parallel to the corruption of Russia’s socialist society‚ but I still wanted a happy ending.

The idea of an equal and utopian society seemed so promising and right‚ yet it seemed impossible for the pigs not to fall into the habits of man

chapter 1 Old major’s speech aroused the whole animal farm‚ and got everyone thinking. I‚ as well as my colleagues found his speech to be very motivational‚ and a real eye opener. I now see how badly we are being treated by our farmer Mr. Jones. Old major always gets the animals to listen up even before he begins to speak; I suppose it’s because he always has something very meaningful and important to say. Right before old major’s speech everyone knew to get comfortable and begins to listen attentively

there now except a single Commandment. It ran: ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS” (Orwell 134). In the place where the seven commandments had once been written‚ a new commandment had been written. One that presented inequality to most of the animals in the farm. It stated that some animals are better than other animals. This quote contradicts what the animals had originally tried to establish which is that all animals are equal.

Manipulative‚ persuasive‚ and cunning are all words that can be used to describe Squealer. In the book‚ Animal Farm he’s described as a fat pig with a shrill voice‚ nimble movements‚ and a brilliant talker. Squealer has a way with words.

the novel Animal Farm‚ there are examples as you read on further of it being an allegory‚ a book that has a hidden meaning into it.

In this argument essay I will be identifying which of the two novels from Animal Farm or Anthem is more realistic. What I think is that Anthem is more realistic because it actually uses human beings and tells types of situations a person can get to. The rules in the book were like the law to them‚ in fact they were the law like‚ “none may speak the unspeakable word” or else they will be burned‚ like if a witch were to blow her secret she will be burned in front of the village. Some of the other rules
