Explore the techniques of rhetoric used by Old Major in Animal Farm and compare these techniques with other famous speeches.
On animal farm there was a lot of suffering for the animals that were there. They only got fed when the farmer felt like it and they were also worked very hard. However on that farm there was a prize boar called Old Major, he was very well respected among all the other animals. Old Major organised a meeting for the animals during the night during this meeting they were going to talk about a dream of which Old Major had. This dream was about revolution, and the prize boar went on to say that the animals of England should be free and that they should all be equal. This speech can be linked back to speech in which Trotsky said to inspire the Russian revolution. I also think that this speech was about communism, this is due to the communist regime is all about everyone being equal. Also I think that Old Major represents Trotsky because he was the man that had the idea of communism but died so he was never able to take part in his great idea.
