Animal Farm


            All Animals were not created equally.
            
             Thesis Statement: George Orwell presents a variety of animals with different morals and values that make up a prime corrupt society.
             Animal farm can be related to the wide range of people we have, that make up society in which we live in. The pigs, who were far more superior on an intellectual level over all the other animals, manipulated and molded their society, while the rest of the animals were too simple-minded to figure out what their lives were coming to. Displayed in this satire is the impact greed and power has in corrupting a society.
             The animal's lives on animal farm were short and simple. The song, "Beasts of England" (32) was a symbol for hope; hope that someday they could live a life of freedom and enjoyment. Meanwhile the windmill was a symbol for industry and slavery. The animals were brainwashed into slaves which Napoleon and his cabinet of pigs could manipulate their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Even Boxer one of the most respected of animals on Animal Farm, developed a motto which made him the most of laborious slaves, "I will work harder". This motto brought him to his death as he grew weak the pigs got greedy and abused Boxer's services and sent him to the slaughterhouse for a little profit. .
             The animals that make up Animal Farm display a wide range of character. The pigs were smart and controlling, the horses were simple-minded hard-workers, the sheep were the morons, and the hens were the activists as they were the only animal to strongly protest for something they believed in. George Orwell did a good job of balancing the animal society to relate to that of Russian Revolution society as well as today's society.

             Napoleon's greed is what corrupted the society of Animal Farm. This greed was presented early as he framed and ridded his competition, Snowball. As he became more powerful, the animals became more reluctant to question is judgement.
