What do YOU think would be the consequences of always following the rules? In Animal Farm by:George Orwell Boxer always follows the rules and there can good and bad outcomes. For Mollie she can be her true self without being forced to do anything. When it comes to conformity like Boxer you have to always listen and do what you are told by facing the consequences of your actions. But being a nonconformist like Mollie you will never have to face your problems. You can do whatever you want but you are going to get judge by it.
Well you can start off with Russia in 1915 before all the revolutions. Nicholas II, a very incompetent leader, and not the smartest one either during a time of bad economic crisis. So that didn’t help the government at all, not to mention they were fighting in WWI with half of the skilled workers fighting. While fighting in WWI, Nicholas thought that the troops would fight harder if he were leading them. While Nicholas was fighting he left Tsarina Alexandra in charge of Russia. The problem with this is that she made horrible decisions, partly because of Rasputin (a monk, or faith healer), She would hear different sides of the argument and then the last person to talk to her would make her mind up for her. So Rasputin would basically just wait to be the last person to talk to her so that way he could get stuff done in the government. But this earned him a bad reputation and got him assassinated. This would lead to increasing problems and the start of a revolution.

The famine in Russia alone led the peasants to become angry and fed up with the Russian government, suggesting a future revolution. Because of the peasants’ unrest, they began to break the law by as stealing food for their families and shouting in the streets. Russia had attempted revolution before, and a fear of an uprising was feared again. Their everyday routi...
One of the main characters of Animal Farm is the heartless and merciless leader Napoleon. Napoleon is a leader that prefers to have things his way and not cooperate with others, in other words really obnoxious. For example “He declared himself against the windmill from the start. One day, however, he arrived unexpectedly to examine the plan. He walked heavily round the sled, looked closely at every detail of the plans and snuffed at them once or twice, then stood for a little while contemplating them out of the corner of his eye; then suddenly lifted his leg, urinated over the plans and walked out without uttering a word.”(Page 33, chapter5) Thus, this proves that Napoleon is an obnoxious pig because just because he was against Snowball’s windmill idea he urinated all over his work so he could get his way.
During the socio-economic adversity of the World War I, Tsar Nicholas II abdicated his throne and the 300-year reign of the Romanovs came to the end. Nicholas II faced copious difficulties during the holding of his monarchical sovereignty. There were both domestic and international obstacles during his time. Although it certainly was an unprecedentedly terrible circumstance for an authoritarian like Nicholas to rule due several revolutionary movements, he, himself, was actually self-destructive, and was responsible for the fall of the Romanovs. He was not a victim of history, but the victim of his on weakness. His weakness counts for the strong belief in God-given rights, the stubbornness to win the war, and his incapability. We witnessed Russia
Soon after they take over the farm, the animals create a system called Animalism. Animalism is based on th...
Old Major gets to leave the farm on a powerful note by teaching the animals powerful lessons. Three nights after this powerful lesson taught by Old Major he dies in his sleep. All the animals work together and make plans for taking control of the farm. The two pigs Napoleon and Snowball organized most of the work. They come up with the term Animalism and this is their new philosophy. The animals refuse to wear ribbons because that shows slavery. The rebellion begins when Mr. Jones gets drunk and forgets to feed the animals, and the cows go into the store and eat Mr. Jones. The animals won the rebellion and that’s when it all begins.
The book Animal Farm by George Orwell is a book that is different than others. One literary element that makes this book better is personification. The characters in the book are animals, but because of personification they talk to each other, read, and write. Another cool literary element in the book is the setting. The setting in the book takes place in a barn. This makes the author have to be more descriptive because it is very small. Critics might argue that the book is unrealistic. However, the human abilities the characters are a crucial part which makes this a great book. The book Animal Farm by George Orwell is a great book and should stay on the shelves at Millburn Middle School.
Russia had been defeated in all except the war with Turkey and its government and economy had the scars to prove it. A severe lack of food and poor living conditions amongst the peasant population led firstly to strikes and quickly escalated to violent riots. Tsar Nicholas II ruled Russia with an iron hand while much of Europe was moving away from the monarchical system of rule. All lands were owned by the Tsar’s family and Nobel land lords, while the factories and industrial complexes were owned by the capitalists’. There were no unions or labour laws and the justice system had made almost all other laws in favour of the ruling elite.
All of the characters in Animal farm have counterparts in real life. This book was based on the Russian Revolution, and all the important populace of the revolution are symbolized. Some of the animals represent individuals in the Russian Revolution, and some types of animals represent different types of Russian citizens. The book carries out much like the actual revolution. It starts out with hopes of an empire where all are equal and the unfair unjust leader is thrown out. Then it moves on to where some individuals begin to take more power than is rightfully theirs. At the end the rulers have completely taken over and the kingdom is as it was under the original rulers. I will compare the animals from top of the social class to the bottom. At the top were the pigs. Each pig represented someone different in the revolution. Old Major is compared to Lenin. He was an ideologist who dreamed up a wonderful government where all the animals were equal and the humans, or the czars, were pushed out. Unfortunately his dream would never materialize. Then we are left with his predecessors. The first is Snowball. Snowball believed one hundred percent in Old Majors ideals. He wanted all the things Old Major wanted, such as the welfare of the animals. In the Russian Revolution his counterpart would be Trotsky. Trotsky believed and wanted the same things as Lenin, and wanted to continue what Lenin had started. Then comes Napoleon. Napoleon was selfish and greedy. He did not want to share the power or the decision making with any other individual. This was the same for Stalin. At first Napoleon and Snowball shared the decision making and had debates about what course of action they would take. This worked for awhile. Then Napoleon grew weary of long debates, and he thought he could make the decision by himself. He then forced Snowball out of the farm and started to spread lies about Snowball to get the entire farm against him. Stalin did the same thing against Trotsky and forced Trotsky into hiding into Mexico, where he was eventually assassinated. Both Stalin and Napoleon ruined any hopes of equal and fare government and instead set up dictatorships. Then comes the final important pig, Squealer. Squealer did not make the decisions in the government but acted more like the controlled media as in the Russian government.
Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, is, no doubt, a notable piece of classic historical fiction and fantasy, and an elaborate allegory of the Russian Revolution. The story unfolds on an average farm, inhabited by oppressed animals under the ruthless rule of the farmer, Mr. Jones. Never had they thought to act upon their poor treatment, until Old Major, one of the prized pigs on the farm, dreams that the animals unite to overthrow the humans and lead the farm on their own. The animals are overjoyed at this idea, and label it “animalism”. Inspired by this philosophy, the farm, led by two pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, chase Jones away from the farm and begin the animalist revolution. The animals are ecstatic at their victory, and the pigs, deemed the wisest animals on the farm, create seven commandments to ensure the happiness and equality of all creatures on Animal Farm, including rules such as “whoever goes upon two legs is an enemy”, “no animal shall
History itself is a reflection of the social forces which aid in constructing literature pieces. Literature reveals flawed economic systems and corruption, as in the animal fable, “Animal Farm” written by George Orwell, it allegorizes the rise of power through the development of Soviet Communism. The effects of social forces influence the causes of historical events, the author’s personal experiences, and a construction of a political value system. This is to be displayed in Orwell’s work and has an affect on the audience’s response to it.
During 1917, Russia underwent one of the most famous revolutions in history; with the sole intention to improve the nation. However, the original plan for the revolution was quickly put aside as the new leaders began to abuse their power; this brought on more than two years of slaughter and economic decrease. Within the text Animal Farm, George Orwell portrays the working class animals as naïve, while also having a lack of personal awareness; the pigs, however, were corrupted and manipulative. The pig’s hypocrisy against their own rules and ideas lead them to become the farms most powerful figure. Nevertheless, none of this would have been possible without the animals constantly turning a blind eye and failing to acknowledge when they were
