Essay

‘Animal Farm’ written by George Orwell, is a novel about farm animals standing together to rise against the tyranny of its master, a farmer named Mr. Jones. It was mainly under the philosophy of a pig that died before the rebellion. His name was Old Major before his death, he told the entire farm about his dream of animals being free of human captivity. He later told the phrase, “Four legs good, two legs bad “, which fueled the animals to rebel against Mr. Jones. However, after the exodus of Mr. Jones, the animals created a belief which is called Animalism, which the pigs later twisted and corrupt the system to their liking. The novel has twists and turns everywhere in the plot.

Before the thought of rebellion, life was cruel and sad for the animals when Mr. Jones was in charge of Manor Farm, the original name for the farm. Due to the laziness of his workforce, the animals were barely given food and many of them starved. Not only this, but they were expected to work a lot on the little energy they have and whipped if they looked lazy or disobedient. They also lived under the fear of being sent to the abattoir if deemed useless for work. The animal population was very low too as they sold the young ones. Old Major saw all of this and called the meeting to discuss of rebelling against the humans.

After the rebellion was successful and Mr. Jones was exiled, a system of new order has been established. It was named ‘Animalism’ a order followed by all animals on the newly named Animal Farm. However later on, the pigs under the command of Napoleon, tampered

With the laws of Animalism and abused his power. An effect is that one rule of Animalism “All animals are equal” has been changed so the pigs has more power than anyone on the farm. On the other hand, the animals have suffered even more than they have under Mr. Jones. Food ration was even less, the pigs whipped the animals and the punishment was harsher including execution, regardless of the animal’s health, as long he is deemed a traitor. The condition was even worse than under the reign of Mr. Jones.

If things are to get better, there will a need of change of order and rules on the farm. The first that will suggest and should be main protocol is the removal of pigs from power. They tend to wreak havoc. Removing them will lessen the corruption on the farm. The second of suggestions is the removal of whipped and weapons that can harm an animal. The final suggestion is to equally share the amount of crops grown as well as increase crop production every year. If these are done Animal farm will get back on the right track.

Animal farm is in ruin due to the heavy corruption in its order. Old Major’s teaching as well as the original order of Animalism is nothing but a memory. The conditions of Mr. Jones’ reign are manifested into the reign of napoleon and have gotten worse. The original rule “Four legs good, and two legs bad.” as well as “All animals are equal. “, is no longer visible on the farm. George Orwell’s novel is quite an interesting novel.

Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, is a novel about farm animals standing together to rise against the tyranny of its master, a farmer named Mr. Jones. It was mainly under the philosophy of a pig that died before the rebellion; his name was Old Major. Before his death, he told the entire farm about his dream of animals being free of human captivity. One of his commandments was, “Four legs good, two legs bad “, which fueled the animals to rebel against Mr. Jones. After the exodus of Mr. Jones, the animals created a system or doctrine which was called Animalism, which the pigs later twisted and corrupted to their liking. The novel has twists and turns everywhere in the plot.(unnecessary)

Before the thought of rebellion, life was cruel and sad for the animals when Mr. Jones was in charge of Manor Farm, the original name for the farm. Due to the laziness of his workforce, the animals were barely given food and many of them starved. Not only this, but they were expected to work a lot on the little energy they had and whipped, if they looked lazy or disobedient. They also lived under the fear of being sent to the abattoir if they were deemed useless for work. The animal population was very low too as they would sell the young ones. Old Major saw all of this and called the meeting to discuss rebelling against the humans.

After the rebellion was successful and Mr. Jones was exiled, a system of new order had been established. It was named ‘Animalism’ an order followed by all animals on the newly named Animal Farm. However, later on, the pigs under the command of Napoleon, tampered with the laws of Animalism and abused his power. An effect is that, one rule of Animalism “All animals are equal” had been changed so the pigs had more power than any other animal on the farm (is this the only rule changed? And what was it/ they changed to?). Also, the animals had suffered even more than they had under Mr. Jones. Food ration was even less, the pigs whipped the animals and the punishment was harsher including execution, regardless of the animal’s health, as long he is deemed a traitor. The condition was even worse than under the reign of Mr. Jones.

If things are to get better, there needs to be a change of order and rules on the farm. Firstly, is the removal of pigs from power. They tend to wreak havoc(more detail needed). Removing them will lessen the corruption on the farm. The second suggestion is the removal of whips and weapons that can harm the animals (why are these whips a problem and what would be used instead to get the animals to do what is expected of them?). The final suggestion is to equally share the amount of crops grown as well as increase crop production every year(what are the benefits of this?). If these are done Animal farm will get back on the right track.

Animal farm is in ruins due to the heavy corruption in its order. Old Major’s teachings, as well as the original order of Animalism, is nothing but a memory. The conditions of Mr. Jones’ reign are manifested into the reign of Napoleon and have gotten worse. The original rule “Four legs good, and two legs bad.” as well as “All animals are equal. “, is no longer visible on the farm. George Orwell’s novel is quite an interesting novel.
