The Influence Of Social Class In George Orwell's Animal Farm

Several animals felt troubled in the decision of banishing Snowball from the farm but were unable to vocalize their concerns. “Four young porkers…uttered shrill squeals of disapproval…suddenly the dogs…let out deep menacing growls, and the pigs fell silent. ”(Orwell 36-37) The pigs attempted to share their opinions but were silenced from speaking. Napoleon uses his dogs to cause fear so that the animals can not disagree with him.

On one side Jack has let his violent side show. At point in the novel the rescue fire went out and the boys were not able to signal a passing ship. The fire went out because of Jack and his hunters hunting instead of watching the fire. Thus proving he had become more concerned with killing pigs than being rescued.

With this in mind, Mr. Arable family cannot take advantage having a runt pig because special attention required raising the runt pig. Runt pigs never do well and usually don 't live long; therefore, people kill runt pig instead of raising the pig. The key to this problem is that Fern rejects to obey Mr. Arable talks. If Fern had not challenged Mr. Arable way of doing things, Wilbur would not be alive anymore. Likewise, In Hana’s Suitcase, Hana’s childhood is tortured by Nazis rule.

Jones had poor guidance when it came to running Manor Farm, in addition to his drunken state. He never understood that there might be a need for change. Napoleon understood that Jones’s blindness to revolution led to a rebellion, so he ensures that this will not happen again. He gets rid of anyone and anything that even had the possibility of sparking the idea of revolution. Napoleon bands the song Beasts of England, he drives Snowball out of the farm, and opposes Boxer by sending him to a glue factory.

The narrator explains that, “and though no one cared to mention it in the hearing of the pigs or the dogs, it was felt that the killings which has taken place did not square with this.”(76) The animals are too afraid to say anything against what they know is wrong and against the seven commandments. Their freedom is being taken away because they know if they say anything the pigs don 't like, they will be killed. The narrator tells us how, “As soon as they were weaned, Napoleon took them from their mothers, saying that he would be responsible for their education”(30) referring to Jessie and Bluebells litter of puppies.

He was a mouse getting cheese from a snap trap. He was stupid enough to talk when the group was trying to, stealthily, sneak up to a dinosaur, and he also did not help the group when they were in trouble. Although he was specifically instructed to stay on a certain path, his stupidity made him stray from it. All of these factors, though they were underscored to avoid, lead up to the death of a man. In conclusion, time travel can bring great consequences if done carelessly.

In Lord of the Flies, when Piggy’s specs are stolen, he is no longer useful, and the boys kill him. In Of Mice and Men, Candy’s dog has also outgrown his usefulness. This causes Carlson to strongly suggest that Candy should shoot him. “You wouldn’t think it to look at him

Next Jack ignores that order to stay and tend to the rescue fire and goes to kill a pig. On page 68 it was Jack and a few hunters to make sure the rescue fire does not go out but again they go on a pig hunt. This affects the rest of the boys because while the fire was out a ship passed by that could have rescued them. The last situation where Jack does not follow the rules is when he chooses to wear face paint when. He was not supposed to because the chief Ralph told him not to.

Napoleon ruled animal farm harshly and overworked the animals. Orwell described, “This work was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented himself from it would have his rations reduced by half” (Orwell 59). The animal’s are given a choice in the sense that if they wanted to, they could have Sundays off. However, the brutal consequences the animals would face if they did not work forced the animals to listen to the pigs.

While he does not play a major role in the fairy tale, he does play an important role in controlling the rebellious actions that they animals may have under the control of Napoleon. His ideas are used to make the animals believe that all their work will not be for nothing and that even after they die they will be rewarded with the paradise that is Sugarcandy Mountain. The pigs write his ideas off and persuade the animals of the farm not to listen to him. Although, later in the story, once Napoleon is in power, the pigs seem to change their attitude towards Moses’ ideas. After Moses returns to the farm, the author states, “they all declared contemptuously that his stories about Sugarcandy Mountain were lies, and yet they allowed him to remain on the farm, not working, with an allowance of a gill of beer a day” (Orwell 118).

“Fancy thinking the beast was something you could hunt and kill!”, which indicates that the Beast is not meant to be touched, heard, seen, tasted nor smelled because it’s simply within. Ralph’s group consist of littluns, the twins and innocent Piggy, Simon had a bond with Ralph so it was hard for him to get over it, whereas Jack’s group consist of everyone else and they didn’t really felt sympathy, or at least didn’t show it. (Thus allowing the secondary characters to become more meaningful in my opinion). Jack’s group hunts and rolls boulders and chants.

Unit 2 Writing Assessment: Animal Farm Animal Revolution “Death is the solution to all problems. No man - No problem” (Joseph Stalin). In this novel the old boar talks about a revolution that the animals will overthrow the humans. After the revolution the pigs take charge over all of the animals and come up with commandments.

When comparing two pieces of writing, they may seem broadly different but at a closer look, one may find they are fairly similar. In Animal Farm (1945), George Orwell shows Mr. Jones’ failure to run a farm; he drives his farm to the ultimate extreme. When the animals desire freedom and equality, Jones does not meet the wants and desires, so the animals start a rebellion. In comparison George Orwell’s 1984 (1949), Winston rebels against Big Brother. Through years of rebellion, Winston finds someone that feels the same as he does.

What is the importance of lies being told by the leadership in the novella Animal Farm? The novella represents lies and hypocrisy of the Soviet Union government through animals. The novella also shows that the pigs are the government that rules over the land while being hypocritical and lying to the animals about their acts and dealings. The lies represent the hypocrisy of leadership in Animal Farm by George Orwell since the leadership garbles their message to the animals through propaganda.

Corruption had been present in human society since the beginning of time. Dishonesty, crime, exploitation, extortion, nepotism, demoralization… all contributing factors of corruption. In the book Animal Farm by George Orwell the author links power with corruption through the action of the animal leaders. The pig leaders promised a different farm where every animal was equal, but in the end, power corrupted and the pigs reverted back to the abusive ways of Farmer Jones. Similar to that of Animal farm, there are numerous examples of corruption that are present in modern day and past society.
