Boxer is one of the many animals in this novel that was treated with great inequality, even though he was known for his hard work, loyalty, and determination. “... He had made an arrangement with one of the cockerels to call him in the mornings half an hour earlier than anyone else, and would put in some volunteer labor at whatever seemed to be most needed, before the regular day's work began. his answer to every problem, every setback, was ‘I will work harder!’ which he adopted as his personal motto” (Orwell 20).
A Manipulative power crazy dictator that has no idea how to run a farm… Napoleon From the Animal farm.

Napoleon in the book is very power hungry in the book the animal farm much like in the russian revolution in 1945 that the book is modeled by.
This quote shows an important change in the plot of Animal Farm, but it also show two themes of the book, and it continues to develop Napoleon's ruthless character. In this quote, Napoleon announces that, " from now onwards, Animal Farm would engage in trade with neighbouring farms. " This is ironic, because one of the rules in the seven commandments said that humans are enemies , but Napoleon still broke the rule, and this shows that he doesn't care about the rules. This is a significant part of the story, because this is when Napoleon first starts to interact peacefully with other humans. This also foreshadows the fact that Napoleon will continue to interact and make friends with more and more humans, and will become more and more like a human
The pigs took away rights and lives of their own citizens as did the Soviet’s, which helps teach what the book was trying to show that when these political figures gain such power, that they should not use it to only their advantage but to everyone’s. This can be represented at the end of the book when Napoleon has a meeting with humans and starts to resemble the humans exactly. This is because Napoleon used his power for his own well-being like the humans and eventually resembled one. “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.” pg.124 The image of the pigs appearance is tarnished by the way the pig treated his citizen as did Stalin.
Greed is a selfish want for something, sometimes it has to deal with wealth, power, or food. Yolanda shows greed because she embezzled money from Selena’s boutique. Embezzlement is theft or mishandling of someone's money that a person places their trust in a certain person. She stole from Selena’s boutique because she needed money to pay back her nursing school loan debt. This was not the first time this had happened.
Animal farm written by George Orwell tells the story of the Russian revolution through the eyes and actions of farm animals. The animals revolt against their farmer Mr.Jones in order to stop the cruelty being inflicted on them. In a turn of events the new leader Napoleon also starts to treat the animals unfairly. We see in the last chapter the quote “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig… but already it was impossible to say which was which”. Showing the cycle the animalism tried to break when they revolted has been repeated once again.
“Don't judge a book by its cover.” A quote written by George Eliot in 1860. This famous quote is known by millions around the world. The quote says that you should not judge someone based on how they look or sound. Hitler said that the Jews were bad for the country, and they would mess everything up, so they needed to go, and everyone followed and believed him.
In the end they could not tell the difference between pig and Man because the pigs became the evil that they always hated. Napoleon has all the qualities of a bad leader. He is a liar, very controlling, selfish, and always goes back on his word. Napoleon was also not good at sharing his position with
In Animal Farm, George Orwell warns how power will often lead to corruption. Napoleon was placed in a position of power after Major died, and he slowly starts to lavish in his power and become addicted to the lush life of a dictator. When Napoleon first becomes a leader, he expresses how everyone will work equally, but as his reign goes on, he shortens the work hours. At the very end of the novel, the observing animals even start to see that pig and man had become the same. The irony present in the above example, illuminates how regardless of how much a ruler promises to maintain equality and fairness, the position of power that they hold, will corrupt them.
Niccolo Machiavelli once said, “It is better to be feared than loved.” This quote says that if you are a leader who is loved, your people may not respect you and do as you say but if you’re feared than even though the people may not necessarily like you they will do as you say. I completely agree with this quote especially when it comes to the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell. In the novel Animal Farm you can see that it’s better to be feared than loved because all of the animals weren’t necessarily fond of Napoleon but he used fear to control and keep the animals in check.
The quote “Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it’s just the opposite.” by John Kenneth Galbraith explains how communism and capitalism are not so different. In Animal Farm the animals overthrow Mr. Jones who represents capitalism because he gives the animals bare minimum for all the produce they give him. All he does is take and take and never gives the animals anything.
Animal Farm contains several pieces of motivation. For example, the songs recited throughout the novel are a big example of motivation and so are the speeches by Old Major. To begin with, the songs in Animal Farm are mostly used to motivate the animals to rebel, glorify Napoleon, and create a feeling of teamwork among the animals. The song “Beasts of England” is the first anthem of Animal Farm. Old Major introduces it to motivate the animals to rebel against the humans who as he says, abused them.
Only puppies and pigs can live in the house, sleep in the bed, eat apples and cookies and have all of the best things. As the history is developing, Napoleon is getting more and more like a dicator. He slowly begin to being superior but did not act like a dictator. Moreover, he broke some rules, he’s in contact with humans, and he had hours of works, and he killed aniamsl, and change the only commandment for “4 legs good, 2 legs better”. He also think that “Every animals are equal, but some are more equal then others.”
In Animal Farm, Orwell uses repetition by making the sheep repeat a slogan repeatedly in the novel. “Four legs good, two legs bad” (Orwell 34 ) was the maxim of the 2nd commandment Snowball made for the more illiterate animals. The purpose of the slogan was to create the idea that animals are better than humans into the animals’ heads. As the novel progresses, the slogan becomes a meaningless phrase bleated by the sheep when opinions opposing Napoleon come up. For example, “It was noticed that they [the sheep] were especially liable to break into ‘Four legs good, two legs bad’ at crucial moments in Snowball’s speeches” (Orwell 47-48).
The pigs used “animalism” to their advantage and also changed its rules for their benefit. Old Major never meant for Napoleon to use his ideas of “sharing” to cause more problems for the other animals than before under Mr.
