George Orwell 1984.
George Orwell 1984 The novel Nineteen Eighty-Four was written by George Orwell and first published in 1949, the year before his death. The novel is situated in Oceania, which consists of the Americas, the Atlantic islands, which includes the British Isles, Australasia and the southern portion of Africa. The novel is set in the year 1984 (as far as anyone can tell). It is fundamentally a novel about a society that is run by the all-powerful " Big Brother". The main character is Winston Smith, a social outcast, who lives on Airstrip One in the chief city of London. Airstrip One is the third largest providence of Oceania. Winston is not unlike the other outcasts, they too find as he does, the values of the society they live in to be repugnant but Winston is, by any human standards, fairly normal. Winston lives in a totalitarian state. The methods employed by the government are designed to oppress individual thoughts, emotions and even individuality itself. Almost all freedom is removed from a person's existence. An existence is all that it is; it cannot be called a life because every aspect of being is regulated. This oppression is one of Orwell's recurring themes throughout the novel as Winston seeks an escape from the oppression of the policies. He looks back to the past, when the all mighty Big Brother (who is the head of the all powerful Party) was not in power and when
Animal Farm Book Report
Animal Farm By: George Orwell Number of Pages: 102 Date of Publication: 1945 Animal Farm is a novel of dreams, hatred, betrayal and rebellion. One night, all the animals of Mr. Jones' Manor Farm, assemble in the old barn house to hear the speech of an old respected animal on the farm, old Major, a pig that has a dream that the rest of the farm animals will be free from a life of slavery and torture of their human masters. Soon after old Major dies the other animals are inspired by this thought of "Animalism". Animalism is about having a life of freedom that all animals are equal and they will run the farm by themselves. The animals plot their rebellion against their human master and when their master forgets to feed them this is when the rest of the animals take action to drive Mr. Jones out of his farm. During this event it is evident that two of the pigs, Napoleon and Snowball are the cleverest animals on the farm, as they make the plans of the rebellion, and they change the name of the farm from the Manor Farm to Animal Farm. The animals decide to have meetings in the farm house to discuss what they are going to do the following day, and the pigs become the new leaders because of their intelligence. But the power-hungry Napoleon steals the cow's milk and apples for himself and the other pigs, and Napoleons excuse for his actions are that the

9 May 2005 Animal Farm by George Orwell Essay Topic: The allegory, Animal Farm ends with the following: "The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which." What does this quotation and the events leading up to this conclusion demonstrate about politics, leadership, change and human nature in general? Katie Goering Animal Farm, by George Orwell, is an allegory that satirizes the change and difficulties in politics, leadership and human nature that arise during the period of time before and after a revolution. Although this novel includes some aspects of all revolutions, it focuses on the Russian Revolution in 1917. As the plot builds, we become aware of the many problems that occur during a revolution. Many of these issues deal with the government and leadership: for example, in various cases the government becomes corrupt and the many dreams that were promised to the people are not fulfilled. Tyrants, like Napoleon and Stalin, ruled through fear and they controled everything. Animal Farm uses animals to portray the characteristics of humans as they revolt against their proprietor to try to create an equal society on their farm. The story reveals how humans can be honest, dishonest, loyal and disloyal. These aspects of change are present in all revolutions, but they were
What social institutions does George Orwell attack in 'Animal Farm'? How and why?
What social institutions does George Orwell attack in 'Animal Farm'? How and why? 'Animal Farm' is a novel from the 1950's. It was written as a reaction to the major social and political changes occurring in Europe and throughout the world in the first half of the twentieth century. The greatest of these was communism, which was a revolutionary brand of socialism that had taken hold in Russia. Orwell agreed with the principles of Communism, which promoted equality and the removal of social classes. However, he recognised that it would not work in practice, as it had not in Russia under Stalin, because of human nature. The novel details the history of Communism in Russia, from the revolution to the height of Stalin's regime, through a parallel fiction about a farm where the animals rise up and take over. Through this allegory, Orwell can criticise several social institutions that are relevant to most societies. He comments on the nature of leadership, hierarchies of social class and methods of controlling the people. Characters in the novel become symbolic, representing many ideas and figures from history. Orwell is critical of all types of leadership in the novel. Farmer Jones owns the farm before the revolution. He is weak and a drunkard who lets the farm deteriorate and neglects the animals in his charge. They are not fed properly and in the first paragraph of the novel
The Inuit People
The Inuit People The word Eskimo is not a proper Eskimo word. It means "eaters of raw meat" and was used by the Algonquin Indians of eastern Canada for their neighbours who wore animal-skin clothing and were ruthless hunters. The name became commonly employed by European explorers and now is generally used, even by them. Their own term for themselves is Inuit which means the "real people." The Inuit developed a way of life well-suited to their Arctic environment, based on fishing; hunting seals, whales, and walruses in the ocean; and hunting caribou, polar bears, and other game on land. They lived in tents or travelled in skin-covered boats called kayaks and umiaks in summer, and stayed in houses made of sod over winter, building igloos when travelling by dogsled on hunting trips. Their culture was largely based on nature and the land, passed on through storytelling, dancing, drumming, and other rituals. Their habitation area extends over four countries: the United States, Canada, the USSR, and Greenland. The language is divided into two major dialectical groups, the Inupik speakers (Greenland to western Alaska) and the Yupik speakers (south-western Alaska and Siberia). Contact with the outside world has drastically changed Inuit life. Most people now live in wood houses and wear modern clothing instead of animal skin clothes. Snowmobiles and outboards have been replaced
“Man is truly a creature of instinct and emotion: a member of the animal kingdom”. How far do Ted Hughes’ short stories “Sunday” and “The Rain Horse” illustrate this idea?
"Man is truly a creature of instinct and emotion: a member of the animal kingdom". How far do Ted Hughes' short stories "Sunday" and "The Rain Horse" illustrate this idea? "The Rain Horse" illustrates the idea of Man being an instinctive animal more starkly than "Sunday". But nevertheless in both of these stories, Hughes is convinced that the modern man has lost touch with the primordial side of nature. "The Rain Horse" is about Man visiting his own suppressed primitive animal nature and finding he is so far detached from it that he no longer recognise it as part of themselves but something alien and hostile. Both stories have the theme of the painful process of revisiting and attempting to come to terms with this lost bond with nature. There are outbursts of man's instinctive and emotional nature but since they both have a somewhat anti-climatic theme, Hughes is suggesting that man has alienated himself too far to re-establish the once inseparable relationship with nature. In these two stories there is a feeling of incompatibility with the vividly described raw nature due to the restraints imposed by nurture. This feeling is represented by the young man's suit and Michael's Sunday best. Both of these stories contain many descriptions of the stark and savage beauty of nature and how out of place Man looks against such a backdrop. In "The Rain Horse" there is an
Compare and Contrast "Shooting an Elephant" And "A Hanging".
Sagar Manilal 30-Aug-2002 Compare and Contrast "Shooting an Elephant" And "A Hanging" This essay will compare and contrast two short stories written by George Orwell, "Shooting and Elephant" and "A Hanging". The setting of both the places was in Burma, a country in Asia. In "A Hanging" the setting was mainly in a jail whereas in "Shooting an Elephant was in a Moulmein, in lower Burma where an Elephant went 'mute'. The Characters in "A Hanging" were mainly a Hindu who was very small whit no hair and vague liquid eyes, also he had a thick, moustache which was humongous for his body. Also George Orwell played a character in the story but he was the narrator and also there were six wardens as well as the superintendent. The supervisor of the jail was "an army doctor with grey toothbrush moustache and a gruff voice". In "Shooting and Elephant" George Orwell was also a character in the story but he was more important than in "A Hanging". George Orwell played a sub-divisional police officer whereas in "A Hanging" he was a man in the jail. Also in "Shooting an Elephant" there were two other characters; an Indian who was killed by the elephant as well as the owner of the elephant, who also was an Indian. George Orwell in "A Hanging" played a man who had little emotional concern for the man as he did nothing and even watched the hanging being done. In "Shooting and Elephant"
1984 by George Orwell - summary
984 (1949) By George Orwell Entry 1 The story starts with a man by the name of Winston Smith who is aged 39 and is a member of the Outer Party. The society of Oceania is described, it seems like a contry under martial law.

This was very good it meant that they did not have to change the set very much in between scenes. They changed positions for different scenes. They were plain white so your attention wasn't on them they
