Propaganda In George Orwell's Animal Farm

Propaganda: used to promote and/or persuade a view point onto a person. In Animal Farms, it all begins one night; Old Major had a dream that all the animals were free, the humans were not in charge of the farm, and all the animals were living better running the farm themselves. Old Major got all the animals together and shared them his dream, he made a few basic set rules that all must follow, and it was set. “Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy," that was the first commandment out of the seven. All the animals then sang “Beast of England," the song of togetherness.

Old Major dies before the first battle; In between those two times the new world for the animals was amazing, every animal was treated equally. But as time progressed, the

When Old Major brought up the idea of animals being free, he called the humans “the enemy, and promised the animals better lives. The pigs persuaded the animals to agree with an animalism by promising to carry out what Old Major wanted for the animals, they couldn’t resist that offer when some days they wouldn’t eat.

If the pigs were too tired to run the run then jones would come back, and no animal wanted that. Once Napoleon ran Snowball off the farm, he then stole his idea, and built the windmill; the pigs built the walls too thin and the windmill came down. He told all the animals that Snowball crept in overnight and broke the windmill apart. Napoleon didn't want the humans to know that the animals were starving, so he persuades Whimper into thinking that there was more than enough food by having some sheep say the rations have increased around Whymper, and filling empty storage bins with sand then covering the top with food. Squealer convinces the animals into believing that Snowball was always working for the humans and that Snowball being wounded was apart of the arrangement, he tells Boxer that he would show him a document written by
