Manipulation through misleading information

The song, “Beasts of England” by George Orwell establishes the idea of propaganda used to inspire animals to up rise but later used by the pig’s ending the song to maintain control over the other animals after the revolution. Orwell uses propagandistic techniques appealing to fear, controlling the masses to follow the pig’s cruel and selfish plan for the animals and the farm. In Animal Farm the author George Orwell expresses how malicious people try to use propaganda to take control of the masses by exploiting people’s fears and thoughts. Specifically, This text can be described as the exploitation of animals by humans. This goes on to where the animals

The author recommends, “Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. 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.”(Orwell 141) In this quote, the animals slowly start to look at the similarity between the pigs and the humans and how they both are the same now, both cruel in their plan for the animals they both never actually care for they are just used for exploitation from the beginning unlit now. Only sometimes things changed to make it look like the old time of suffering by their old humans changed just now by their new owners into now a modern version where the pigs control them. This quote is noteworthy because it conveys how the pigs got more corrupt as the years progresses until they were no longer recognizable from humans. It was at this point that the animals finally could see thou the lies of the pigs. After all, they believe in Napoleon who ends up misleading them through the use of propaganda in his bitting. when Old Major was their leader, he sought the best for the animals, wishing for the best possible future for all the animals. Perhaps the animals thought Napoleon would do the same never doubting him. Napoleon was selfish. He was out to acquire control and power for himself and didn’t care who got hurt as long he was satisfied. Thus there is little doubt that propaganda is a powerful tool that can go undetected for a long time of periods with few of amounts of people that use critical thinking noticing it and daring to. Challenge its lies and manipulation of those in control of power. Slowly become more and more corrupt using it for their selfish wants,
