Dystopian literature refers to a genre of fictional writing used to make a criticism about a trend, societal norm, or political system through a distorted worst-case scenario. Three examples of this genre include Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Minority Report directed by Steven Spielberg, and Animal Farm written by George Orwell. Fahrenheit 451 revolves around a society in which books are banned and the effects this law has on society. They keep this law intact through the use of firemen, hired to report to where books are found and burn them all and the novel starts as one of the firemen begins his journey through finding the truth of society. The film Minority Report holds the idea of an institution, Precrime, which can predict crime before
We are constantly fighting an internal battle—a battle between our beliefs and what is expected of us. In the essay "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell, we follow the story of a man who must make a critical discussion between what he is expected to do and what he wants to do. This piece tells us the demanding situation he is put in and how he must fight internally for what he is expected to do and what he wants to do. George Orwell writes about how he was a police officer in lower Burma, a job he hated. The city's people were bitter towards him, disrespectful, and played jokes on him.
This relates to the theme because, throughout the story, the pigs have been in charge because they have more knowledge than the other animals. They were also really clever and could think of a way around every difficulty the farm experienced. ( Orwell 13) In the middle of the story, some crucial rules were being changed and the animals did not do anything about it. “ … pigs not only took their meals in the kitchen and used the drawing-room as a recreation room, but also slept in the beds.”
With power comes great responsibility. George Orwell is an extremely talented artist. I say artist not only because of his creative writing skills, but for the way he turns a simple story into a vivid motion picture. It isn't easy to describe a tale in such a way that it makes the reader feel as if they are present to the event; especially without using long, descriptive words that seem to create a cluttered mess of the sentences.

“Animal Farm” by George Orwell, is a story to show how absolute power corrupts, just as Stalin’s power did during the Russian Revolution in 1917. In the allegory “Animal Farm” each character represents a political figure from the days around the Russian Revolution. For example, Joseph Stalin is represented by a pig named Napoleon, Squealer, another pig, represents Stalin’s propaganda department, and the dogs represent the Secret Police (KBG). Using the nine dogs that Napoleon raises (intimidation), Squealer (propaganda), and manipulation, Orwell illustrates how Napoleon was able to gain and maintain control of the farm. The nine dogs that stay by Napoleon at all times are useful for Napoleon to gain and maintain control of the farm because they scare the other animals, intimidating them so that they do not disobey Napoleon.
History Repeats Itself People say that we learn history because we don’t want to repeat it, but there are numberless instances of diffrent countries making the same mistakes and fighting for the same reasons. These wars weren’t just hundreds of years ago either, many current conflicts have resembled wars from hundreds of years ago, the war in Korea was devastating, and all the trauma was brought by the two leaders of the North and South who sought to control the whole country. Books have even been writen about the styles and similarites of wars, one such book is Animal Farm by George Orwell, where he explains a revolution through the use of an allegory. After doing reseach about the Korean Revolution, and examining the conditions of the two countries before, during, and after the war it is clear that the Korean Revolution and the revolution described in Animal Farm are very similar.
The genuine shooting of the elephant fills in as an ethical story for the British explorer wander in Burma. Orwell feels that it's wrong to butcher such a tremendous and wild animal. This slant addresses the fault of trying to grab an entire culture and society. Over this, shooting the elephant does not execute the elephant; comparably as policing Burmese society does not put them under the colonizer's control. Orwell puts different shots into the elephant, yet finally, he needs to leave to leak to death.
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely” (Lord Acton) This quote is telling us that when people get into roles of absolute power they tend to become corrupt, as a result of that power. This quote can be applied to Napoleon from the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, because at the beginning of the novel Old Major’s words inspired Napoleon. As a result, he believed that humans were evil for forcing animals to work for them and that animals should be able to live freely, not under anyone’s control; however, as the story progresses his belief changed and the animals did not get to live their utopian dream. At the start Napoleon and the other pigs strongly believed that all animals were equal and had the right to live in a place that took care of their well being.
“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear” (George Orwell). George Orwell lived from 1903 to 1950. During this era there were many political dilemmas occuring in the world, especially in Russia with Stalin and Marxism. Even though these occurred in the Soviet Union, it still greatly affected America, because the Soviet Union and the US were in the Cold War around this time. George Orwell’s work brings up the conversation of some of these political issues and their influence on America.
Reasons why I selected this article? To begin, the first reason why I decided this on this article is because it is about a new mayor, and the first muslim leader at that.

Animal Farm In George Orwell graphic novel Animal Farm have you ever wonder if animals would ever take over for all the bad things humans have done to them ?

Published in 1945, Animal Farm is a satirical dystopian novella written by English author George Orwell, and is perhaps his best known work. An allegorical tale, Animal Farm tells a literal story - of the animals on the farm - that is intended to be representative of another situation - Stalin 's rise in the Soviet Union. Animal Farm opens on Manor Farm, where animals are subservient to their human master, a farmer named Jones. One night an aged boar called Old Manor calls a meeting of his fellow animals, and puts forth the call that they should one day rise up in rebellion against the humans who enslave them. Old Manor suggests that once humans have been overthrown, no animal should act like a human by sleeping in a bed, wearing clothes, drinking alcohol, or engaging in trade.
