"Napoleon is a selfish pig who used his comrades for own purpose".
Holiday Assignment "Napoleon is a selfish pig who used his comrades for own purpose". Illustrate how true thus statement is with the reference to Boxer and Snowball. Napoleon, the leader, is very authoritative and selfish. Napoleon is a tyrant. It is very likely Napoleon is conspiring to take over Animal Farm so that he can take advantage of the situation of having many animals at his disposal. He is the one that initiated the violation of established resolutions, and concealed it by altering the resolutions. What satisfies his pleasure the most is what takes precedence over everything-the animals, honesty, commandments, etc. He gives himself the credit for every good thing, without any recognition to the other animals, such as the building of the windmill, which he announces the mill will be named Napoleon Mill, and the victory of the windmill. Snowball, who was chased out of the farm by Napoleon's personal bodyguards, portrayed by dogs, is being used as a scapegoat, "Whenever anything went wrong, it became usual to attribute it to Snowball." When the violent November storm blew the windmill down, Napoleon blamed Snowball for blowing it up instead of admitting that the windmill walls were not thick enough to support it against the strong wind. He even got Squealer to convince the fellow comrades that 'Snowball was in league with Jones from the very start'.
Critical Evaluation - "Animal Farm" - George Orwell.
Critical Evaluation - "Animal Farm" - George Orwell Raymond England 4r2 The novel "Animal Farm" by George Orwell tells us the story of a farm's change to Communism, through animals. It loosely tells the story of the fall of the Czar's rule and the rise of Communism in Russia. In this Critical Evaluation, I will analyse the major themes in the book and compare how the story runs with history. Eric Arthur Blair, AKA, George Orwell, was born in 1903 in Bengal, India, the son of an English civil servant. He attended Eton public school from 1917-1921 and served with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma from 1922-1927. From 1936-1937, he fought in the Spanish Civil War. His two most famous books are "1984", written in 1949, and "Animal Farm", which was written in 1945. He also published lesser-known books and many essays until his death in 1950. "Animal Farm" is a story which exists on two levels, first as a fable in which animals talk and act like humans and secondly as a political satire in which the author hits out at the abuses of the Communist regime and doctrines with reference to Russia and Joseph Stalin. The story begins when the farmer, Mr. Jones, comes home from the local pub, drunk, and forgets to feed the animals. Inspired by an old pig's last words, the animals revolt and win their independence from humanity. Led by Napoleon and, for a limited time, Snowball,

Animal Farm - Review The story takes place on a farm somewhere in England. The story is told in the third person. The main story begins when the oldest pig on the farm, Old Major, calls all animals to a secret meeting. He tells them about his dream of a revolution against the cruel Mr Jones. Three days later, Old Major dies, but the speech gives the more intelligent animals a new outlook on life. The pigs, who are considered the most intelligent animals, instruct the other ones. During the period of preparation two pigs distinguish themselves, Napoleon and Snowball. Napoleon is big, and although he isn't a good speaker. Snowball is a good speaker, he has a lot of ideas and he is very clear. Together with another pig called Squealer, who is a very good speaker, they work out the theory of "Animalism". The rebellion starts a few months later, when Mr Jones comes home drunk one night and forgets to feed the animals. They break out of the barns and run to the house, where the food is stored. When Mr Jones sees this he takes out his shotgun, but it is too late for him; all the animals drive him off the farm. The animals destroy all whips, nose rings, reins, and all other instruments that have been used to suppress them. The same day the animals celebrate their victory with an extra ration of food. The pigs make up the seven commandments, and they write them above the door of the

That every two minutes of every single day, an animal is being ill-treated and abused for no reason what so ever. This saddens us at the R.S.P.C.A and it should sadden you as well. Support is growing but still much needed to stop animal cruelty! With your contributions it could help to stop these terrible crimes. Wicked behaviour must not be disregarded! All cases of cruelty to animals are shocking, but the news that a 6-month-old golden Labrador retriever called Hubby had been brutalized and left to suffer is just disturbing. The dog was discovered with its eyes sealed shut with glue. Its mouth, throat and ears were glued. The puppy's hind legs were broken in several places. It is also suspected that the puppy had been starved. This vile act resulted in the dog being put down by a veterinarian. And if you're reading this letter thinking such cases are so rare, think again. Dr. Kaman Lentose a local Veterinary Surgeon stated that, "People who can do that to defenseless animals eventually think nothing of hurting a child or another person." That's why police shouldn't take such animal abuse cases lightly. The metropolitan police are now being informed on every

Choose a poem, which in your view fulfils a specific purpose. Show how the poet employs the poetic form in order to convey his ideas. "So Many Summers" by Norman MacCaig is a poem, which has a specific purpose the passage of time and its effects. In this poem the poet uses two objects, a boat and a hind, as metaphors for the passage of time. The poet employs poetic form in order to convey his ideas by using, skilful punctuation, excellent word choice, and an underlying theme of death. The skilful punctuation MacCaig uses is excellent. There are many commas, and colons used to break up the text. Here the poet sets the scene: "Beside one loch, a hind's neat skeleton, Beside another, a boat pulled high and dry:" These two lines are comparing human and animal life dying. The punctuation breaks down the lines, giving the reader time to think about what is being said. It also gives the impression of the passage of time since you have to pause after each comma, taking your time like the amount of time it takes for the animal's skeleton to be seen. A dash is also used in stanza three: "Time adds one malice to another one -" This, again give the reader time to think about what has happened to the dear and the boat over the passage of time. You could not tell which is which until you looked very closely at them. The dash makes the reader stop mid-sentence, making the

What do you feel is more important - the life of your child or the life of a few rats? These comments are often brought up in animal rights debates. On the one side the animal rights campaigners, on the other side researchers intent on finding new medicines to improve the quality of human life. Animal activists claim that animal testing, or 'vivisection' is a scientific disaster and that thousands have been injured or killed as a result of it and time and time again researchers have been lead into a blind alley. Vivisection literally means, "cutting while still alive," but these days it refers to any experiments conducted on animals. According to the 1999 U.K. Vivisection statistics published by the government, 2.66 million animals were subjected to experiments 'likely to cause pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm' in the U.K. alone. Many different kinds of animals suffer this fate, including monkeys, baboons (including wild-caught baboons), dogs, cats, pigs, rabbits, mice, rats, gerbils, guinea pigs, sheep, horses, goats, budgerigars and many others. These experiments include the animals being poisoned, genetically mutated, infected with lethal pathogens, stressed, deprived of parental care, irradiated, burnt, blinded, traumatised, forced to inhale noxious substances and subjected to "interference with the brain." The most common tests involve dripping materials
Discuss how George Orwell uses language techniques to represent power in
Discuss how George Orwell uses language techniques to represent power in "Animal Farm." "Power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely"; and this is eloquently proved in George Orwell's novel 'Animal Farm.' In this satirical fable, Orwell uses his allegorical farm to candidly illustrate the corruptive nature of power and to symbolise the communist system in the microcosm of a farmyard barn. George Orwell was the pen name of Eric Blair, a British political novelist and essayist. He was also a socialist but he criticized the right (fascists and capitalists) as freely as he criticized the left (anarchists, socialists, and communists). Orwell used his writings mainly to expose the negative effects that political systems could have on people - harsh forms of control, manipulation, and repression. Even though Animal Farm was based on the Russian Revolution, particularly directed against Stalin's Russia, it is more meaningfully an anatomy of all political revolutions, where the revolutionary ideals of justice, equality, and fraternity shatter in the event. The story of Animal Farm tells of "a revolution that went wrong." One night Old Major, an old pig preached of freedom and equality for all animals as well as independence from humans to his fellow animal comrades. He introduced to them the 'Beasts of England' song, which inspired
Who is the hero of Animal Farm?
Who is the hero of Animal Farm? The novel Animal Farm was written in 1945 by author George Orwell. George Orwell was the pseudonym of Eric Arthur Blair, he was a British writer born in Motihari, India in 1903. Animal Farm is a novel based on the lives of a society of animals living on the Manor Farm. Although the title of the book suggests the book is merely about animals, the story is a much more in depth analysis of the workings of society in Communist Russia. The animals are used as puppets to illustrate how the communist class system operated, how Russian citizens responded to this, how propaganda was used by early Russian leaders such as Stalin and the effect this type of leadership had on the behaviour of the people of Russia. Mr. Jones' principles and harsh mistreatment of the animals that Napoleon adopted proves to the reader that communism is not equality, but just another form of inequality. What qualities make a hero? Are they a large number of good deeds or something to do with one extraordinary event/achievement? Could it be the stereotype-cliché superhero meaning, maybe it's someone we admire? Perhaps it's someone who puts his or her own life on the line to save others- a someone with an aura of invulnerability. Many people would say that you have to be brave, fearless and courageous. Usually, in a book or film the protagonist is the hero. Boxer, Snowball
An intensive farm has high levels of labour and/or capital
Farming Intensive An intensive farm has high levels of labour and/or capital input for a relatively small area of land; the output per hectare is high. Eg. Rice farm in SE Asia Extensive An extensive farm has low levels of labour and/or capital input for a relatively large area of land; the output per hectare is low. Eg. Growing wheat on the prairies in the US Commercial Commercial farming is when farmers grow crops or rear animals to sell at a market to make a profit. Eg. Most farms in Britain. Lynford farm Subsistence Subsistence farming is when farmers grow enough food to feed themselves and their families. There may be a little left over to sell at market. Eg. Slash and burn agriculture in the Amazon rainforest Arable farms only grow crops Eg. Wheat farming on the prairies/East Anglia Pastoral farms rear animals. The only crops grown are fodder crops Eg. A sheep farm in the Welsh uplands Organic farming is environmentally friendly. Farmers do not use chemicals and do not feed their animals with anything that has been grown using chemicals. Eg. A Prince of Wales farm Geography
Summarization of animal farm chapters 1-10
CHAPTER 1 In the opening chapter of the book, Mr. Jones of Manor Farm is shown as a careless, irresponsible farm owner who cares more for a glass of beer than for his animals and the farm. He is often drunk, and his resulting carelessness causes the farm animals to protest and rebel against him. A 12-year-old middle white boar 'Old Major', who lately grown stout and majestic looking pig with a wise benevolent appearance had called a meeting in the barn about a dream he had the previous night. First arrived the dogs; Bluebell, Jessie and Pitcher and then the pigs came in with the hens and pigeons that flew on top. Soon the sheep's, cows and the carthorses Boxer and Clover had came into the barn. Then came Muriel the white goat and Benjamin the donkey, who was the oldest animal on the farm. Ducklings came in with Mollie the foolish, pretty white mare. Only one left was Moses the tame raven. Old Major started his speech on how the animals were treated and were being used. He said, 'the farm was in a terrible condition and there is not much money for a good lifestyles. In addition the farm only has 12 horses, 20 cows and 100's of sheep. The problem was that man exists. Man consumes without producing. Old Major talked about what happened to the babies of the animals. There was a message in all of this 'whatever goes on two legs is an enemy, but whatever is upon
