Animal Farm

The main theme of the book, Animal Farm would be to put all your trust in your leaders and work diligently even through trials and tribulations. I believe that part of the theme involving working diligently is in agreement with the Bible, but I do not believe that putting all your trust in your leaders is in agreement with the Bible because not all men are wise, and are capable of being tempted to take advantage of their power given to them. The main theme of the book was to put all your trust in your leaders and work diligently. An example of putting trust in your leader would be when the animals believe in the vision Old Major had for them to rebel and eventually own Manor Farm. Another example would be when Napoleon was in charge and kept reassuring the animals why all the decisions he made were acceptable, even though some of those choices were not wise. A last example of working diligently would be when Boxer was badly injured yet he continued to work hard till the very end.
Being diligent through trials and tribulations in in agreement with the Bible. In
Genesis 11:1-4, the men in Babylon worked hard to create the highest tower. Although they were unsuccessful they did work hard through their trials and tried to work together. Another example would be in Daniel 3:18 when the King commanded …show more content…

God says to obey your leaders, but not false leaders. In 1 Timothy it says, ..”such teaching come forth from false words of liars whose consequences are destroyed as if by a hot iron.” Leaders can be tempted to take advantage of their power. A good example of that would be when Saul heard that Jonathan defeated an army in battle. Instead of rewarding him, Saul took the glory for himself, and convinced his kingdom that he should be honored. Napoleon did that as well taking glory for himself for the work that the other animals did, and lowering their

Furthermore, Napoleon gives the other animals the impression he was the sole leader of the rebellion on Animal farm and makes Snowball -a leader who wanted what was best for the animals- seem like an enemy who was in cahoots with Farmer Jones since long before the animals took over the farm. Napoleon and Squealer (another “fat cat” pig.) always put the blame on Snowball whenever something went wrong in the farm to avoid having the blame fall on them. Napoleon is an exemplary example of just how selfish and hypocritical people can be in furthering their own aims because he continued to subtly but purposely change the seven rules put in place as the pillars of animalism. For example, Napoleon and the other pigs move into Farmer Jones’s house and sleep in his bed after commanding “No animal shall sleep in a bed”, so he changes the commandment to read “no animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets”.

Napoleon lied to the other animals in many different ways. One way he lied was by telling the other animals that he was going to send one of the horses on the farm, Boxer, to doctor to be treated for his sick lung. Napoleon made the other animals think that he was sending Boxer off to get better, but he was actually sending Boxer to a horse slaughterer to be killed. When Boxer was being loaded into the “ doctors” van one of the animals began to read what was on the side of the van. It read “ ‘ Alfred Simmonds, Horse Slaughterer and glue boiler, Willingdon.’ ”

Moreover, Nehemiah’s humility is proven by how he carries himself while at Jerusalem. Nehemiah chose to analyze the city walls at night, without letting any person know (Nehemiah 2:11-16). Total dependence on God as a sign of servant leadership is exemplified when one knows what God expects of the people he is leading, and his promises to them, and he chooses to pursue the mission for the sake of the people of

One such instance is when he is nearly stoned by the Israelites when they are on the verge of death because of thirst. Moses cries to the Lord, “What shall I do with this people?

One dominant theme in animal farm is totalitarianism and abuse of power. Totalitarianism is defined as a political system in which the state possesses complete authority over the society and controls all aspects of public and private life whenever necessary. The author criticized totalitarianism and believed that it was inevitable in a communist system, as those put in charge will result in the abuse of their power. The theme Orwell intended to get across was that all totalitarian regimes are the same and those who hold power will do anything to maintain it. The pigs, who were the leaders, frequently displayed this throughout the novel.

One thing that is essential in being a leader in ministry is a clear call from God. An individual should not “test out” being in leadership. In the life of Moses a clear call to leadership is seen. God first introduced Himself to Moses in the burning bush (Exod. 3:2-9). After talking with Moses for a little bit, God lets Moses know that he is the one chosen to lead Israel out of Egypt (Exod.
