George Orwell wrote, “Man serves the interests of no creature except himself.” This quote is important because it explains the cause of the misery of a corrupted form of government, as well as depicting the context for the cause and creation of a dystopia. In Animal Farm by George Orwell, animalism was constituted after the animal revolution that overthrew Mr. Jones and ended his tyrannical rule. However, Napoleon gained power over Animal Farm and created a totalitarian rule. Napoleon used propaganda to maintain and expand his power. In “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut, set in 2081, the Amendments made to the Constitution created a civil society where everyone was equal. This equality was enforced through handicaps that retained the progression …show more content…

Jones. To demonstrate, Boxer had a modo and set mindset for perseverance: “I will work harder...Napoleon is always right”(Pg) This quote demonstrates the will and perseverance through the chaos of Animal Farm created by Napoleon. Boxer was brainwashed by Napoleon’s propaganda and was a firm believer of the potential of Animal Farm. Because of this, the same will power and belief of the system can be related between these two characters portrayed. Furthermore, George was described in “Harrison Bergeron” as being handicapped due to having superior intelligence than the rest; he didn’t question it because on one hand he was impeded from processing and thinking and on the other hand he believed in his government system. In detail, George explains the risks of committing the crime of stealing lead balls in their utopia being extremely severe and punishable. If he can get away with it, “other people’d get away with it and pretty soon we’d be right back to the dark ages again with everybody competing against everybody else”(Pg 1) In the context of the situation, George did not seem to doubt their form of government, he seemed sure that is was set out to discipline them …show more content…

The government structures our way of living and creates a boundary for our progression as a whole society. Government involvement in societal controversies and affairs may impede the resolution for these problems to be solved, due to their controlling nature, preventing revolts, rebellion, etc. Also, handicaps are not set by the government, but by society, to suppress the value of an individual. These handicaps is the use of name calling and social discrimination greats a pit of false guilt on the victims, this is

In the story entitled “Harrison Bergeron” written by Kurt Vonnegut, he writes that year of 2081, everyone would be truly equal. I disagree with this vision because handicaps, power, and free will paint an unequal society in “Harrison Bergeron”. Some people have handicaps, which are supposed to “equalize” their abilities to the others in society. However, the idea of handicaps is not actually equalizing because different people with different handicaps and abilities are unable to feel or understand each other’s circumstances, struggles, and experiences.

Kurt Vonnegut, an author from Indiana, is most famous for his science fiction short story, “Harrison Bergeron”, that takes place in the future world.

By writing this story, Vonnegut was trying to exhibit that equality in everyone is nearly impossible and dangerous.

People tend to want to trust that the society and culture that we grow up in is generally good and that we do not need to constantly worry about it falling apart into ruin. However, we all do live in imperfect societies that gladly head forward into their non-perfections. Socialism is a theory that says that everything should be lead and directed by the community involved. It is only a real possibility, though, if everyone is truly looking out for the best interests of each other, and not looking at how they can advance their own agenda. As you may know, that is not always the case in our own culture.

We’ve had enslaved each other, restricted peoples’ basic rights, and made people follow inhumane laws. In a perfect (utopian) society, everyone is equal, but, with equality, injustice always follows. Kurt Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron” is a poem set in year 2081 where the government has made society overly equal. The government handicaps the citizens who are above average in intelligence, beauty, strength, and speed. This equality is due to their “211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General” (Vonnegut).

Animal Farm is a novella written by George Orwell, where a pig dictator, Napoleon, tries to gain power by using different types of propaganda. This novella takes place in an imaginary farm in England that focuses on politics. George Orwell said that he was inspired by the Russian Revolution, but the idea of the awareness of corruption applies to the world. Similarly to Animal Farm, World War II “was arguably the most significant period of the 20th century” (historynet.com) that lasted from 1939 to 1945. The corruption and dictation of the government was what inspired George Orwell to write Animal Farm.

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”.

(page 141) The quote shows that Napoleon is basically Mr. Jones in a different generation. Napoleon acts just like Mr Jones, and takes their work for money. Also, Mr Jones underfed the animals, and later Napoleon also did! On page 92, the author wrote, “Napoleon read out to them: The production of every class of food has increased by 300 percent.

Napoleon’s initial desire to rule the Farm grows into a monstrous greed for power which is what brings destruction to the corrupted society of Animal Farm. His foolish pursuit to obtain more increasingly becomes destructive just as the capacity does to increase. The greed has taken over him and tempts him to lie in order to obtain everything he desires. He drives Snowball out of power to keep the power all to himself, separates himself from the commoners to officialise his high status within the Animal Farm, kills Boxer to acquire money for whiskey, and adapts human idiosyncrasies in order to prove that Napoleon and the pigs are more superior and can control the commoners to obtain anything that they

“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.
