Animal Farm, by George Orwell

809 Words2 Pages

The author of my book is George Orwell. The book I am reading is entitled

Animal Farm. My book is a fiction book with talking animals. The animals rebel against

Jones and his farm and how their food was low and they had to work to much to just

make food for Jones and his family. The animals were victorious in gaining control of the

farm. Then the pigs slowly take over the farm and slowly turn it back into just what it had

been when Jones had been there. The story takes place on a farm in the country side. Old

Major is the first pig and the ruler who gives all the other animals hope of a rebellion.

Snowball is the pig who actually put the rebellion into affect and started the whole rules

and laws to start their own farm. Then there’s Napoleon who kicks Snowball out of the

farm and takes over the farm and slowly he turns the farm back into what it had been with

Jones with him and his partner pigs getting lots of food for no work and the workers

getting little food for a lot of work.

The story starts with Old Major calling for a meeting of the animals where he tells

them of the way animals should live and that he only has a few years left to live, but that

the animals must carry out a rebellion one day in the future. So Old Major passes away

and one day when the animals had been starved for a few days straight the animals broke

into the food room and started eating the food. Jones and his men came out to fight them

off, but the animals were to strong for them. The animals drove them out of the farm and

declared what used to be called “The Manor Farm” into what they called “Animal Farm.”

Snowball took over as their new leader and served them good especially when Jones came

back with some men and guns and tried to take back his farm and Snowball took control

and stopped Jones from winning the fight.

Then Snowball gets an idea that they should build a windmill that symbolizes their

farm and could be used for hay storage. Napoleon, another pig who wanted to take rule,

said that was a stupid idea and Napoleon went on to plant fake evidence that Snowball

The animals were on an emotional high for the next few days. They set up rules, including the seven commandments, and decided to make Snowball and Napoleon (pigs) the leaders. The animals had meetings every Sunday to discuss and vote on what should happen, and the work schedule for the following week. Every single time an idea was brought up Snowball and Napoleon would disagree. This went on for a year. Finally, at one of the meetings Napoleon and 9 dogs jumped Snowball, and chased him off of the farm. From then on the farm became a dictatorship, not a republic as the animals had dreamed of before the rebellion. Napoleon lied to the animals a lot, but none of them were smart enough to realize it. He planted false memories in the animals heads, and manipulated them. He stole food from them and blamed it on Snowball. Then he started to go against the seven commandments, but none of the animals could remember the seven com...

Animal Farm, by George Orwell: An Allegory to the Russian Revolution
776 Words | 2 Pages
In the beginning, just as Czar Nicholas II exploits his subjects, Farmer Jones treats his animals likewise. He gives them “so much food as will keep the breath in their bodies” (28). Jones feeds his animals minimally whilst he eats abundantly. He forces the animals “to work to the last atom of their strength” (28). Czar Nicholas rules with an iron fist and does not tolerate even minor transgressions to his authority. Similarly, Farmer Jones rules his farm and tyrannizes his animals with whippings and backbreaking work. As soon as their “usefulness comes to an end they are slaughtered with hideous cruelty” (28). When Jones overworks and starves his animals to the point where they can go no further, he sends them to the slaughterer. Farmer Jones enslaves his animals, and is the sole benefactor of the animals’ produce and labor. He does not have any interest in providing better living conditions for the animals. Just like Czar Nicholas’ subjects, the animals on the farm are clearly weak, so Farmer Jones thoroughly dominates them.

Meaning Behind Animal Farm
812 Words | 2 Pages
Jones is the example of how a human can become so cruel, so insensitive, regarding to the care of his farm and the animals on it,when given a position of power and misuses it. In the first chapter it says “As for the dogs, when they grow old and toothless, Jones ties a brick round their necks and drowns them in the nearest pond,” (30). This sentence is said by Old Major, trying to convince the animals of the farm to start the rebellion with the realization of how Mr. Jones . Of the way he truly is as a owner of the animals, yet at the same time an abuser to the animals by demonstrating, one cruel act Mr. Jones has done to the dogs of the farm that get too old to do their job. Instead of letting the dogs retire and die naturally by old age, Mr. Jones kills them with no remorse, and is allowed to do so because he is in charge. Being in control of other creatures, is something that should not be taken advantage of, especially in Manor Farm where Mr. Jones is doing unspeakable actions to all of those in his farm, from dogs, to cows to horses. Another great representation of the amount of indecency he has, for the only reason he is in control and can get away with it is “Jones will sell you to the knackers, who will cut your throat and boil you down for the foxhound,”(30). This sentence is also said by Old Major, and gives the horses Clover, Boxer and Benjamin a reason to fight against Mr. Jones. In hopes of not having to suffer that

Napoleon’s greatest challenger is Snowball. Napoleon has been evil from the start but now, with Mr. Jones gone there is no-one strong enough to oppose him. He can finally do as he pleases. He only needs to convince the animals. He has always wanted his own way and it seems he will go as far as it takes, even condemn Snowball’s work on the windmill. He knows very well that with the construction of the windmill under Snowball’s guidance, Snowball will be viewed as ‘better’ and would give him power. Power, that he believes, is rightfully his. He knows the windmill will benefit his welfare yet he is still willing to oppose this idea in order to keep Snowball from taking any power. Snowball was a real threat to Napoleon. Unfortunatel...

Politics in Animal Farm
803 Words | 2 Pages
Old Major chose a poor time to launch a rebellion. The dogs showed little care for the outcome of their pups’ upbringing. The hens’ independence could be seen as a bad action to the taking over of the farm. If the sheep were genetically smarter the story’s course could have been changed. Boxer’s tolerance of the pigs could have been a factor leading to his death. Benjamin’s negligence could have been the downfall of the farm. Lastly the remaining pigs selfishness is a contribution leading to the worse then average life of the farm animals. All these animals were responsible for the pigs’ dictatorship.
