The Pigs In Animal Farm

253 Words2 Pages

In the book Animal Farm by George Orwell the Pigs Learned how to read and write, but was it for the benefit of the farm? I think it was so the Pigs could be superior to the other animals which breaks the idea of animalism but to take the other animals off the fact that it breaks animalism, the Pigs tried to teach the other (and much dumber) animals to read and write knowing they would not be able to. Some animals were able to memorize the seven lines of the animals commandments and some could only memorize the first six letters but the majority of the farm couldn’t learn at all. I think the Pigs intention was also to confuse some animals on the farm about the big picture of what the Pigs are doing or as some sort of distraction. I feel like the pigs will take advantage of the dumb animals and use reading and writing to lead them into something they do not understand or make the farm based around it more. …show more content…

To benefit the farm I think reading and writing could help categorize things or keep the farm more organized to make the farm better for harvesting or serving out food and making things easier and alot more

A treacherous wolf is waiting outside the pigs home, growing more and more impatient to gnaw down on him and satisfy his hunger. He threatens to demolish his home and tear him apart if he does not let him in. What would you do in a situation like this?The first two pigs in “The Three Little Pigs” could not adapt fast enough to this scenario which resulted in their death, but the third pig managed to work his way around the wolf's tactics and give him a taste of his own medicine. When the pigs were told by their mothers to leave and fend for themselves, the first two pigs were not very clever seeing as they built their homes of straw and furze. Unlike his brothers, the third pig is clearly intelligent as he built his home out of brick, something the wolf would not be able to blow down.

We use our ability to read and write for everything like purchasing food, prices, warnings, reading books, reading labels and so much more. Fredrick Douglass is an amazing example of how much reading and writing can affect someone's life. Reading and writing are needed for jobs like mine, need to be carefully read, and print out labels and matchboxes a lot. Fredrick Douglass needs to read and write to make his speeches which empowered and convinced many people to see how dark and harsh slavery was and that it needed to be stopped. Reading helped us learn about what is going on in our lives and what is going on around us.

To begin, in the stories of “Animal Farm” the book concludes on how the animals of Manor Farm turn into the owner of them by dictating each other, stealing ideas from one another, changing rules, overworking each other, and being just overall a communist farm. The author’s perspective and tone regarding intelligence explains how the pigs and Napoleon used their intelligence to trick and persuade the animals to their way of living. In the book “Animal Farm”, “The pigs did not actually work, but directed and supervised the others. With their superior knowledge it was natural that they should assume the leadership” (Orwell 12). The pigs dictate the animals and use them as slaves because they were not intelligent.

This quote showcases the specific way Orwell places his words to change the tone of this story. For example, in the quote it says that pigs are “generally recognized” as being the cleverest of animals. Orwell could have said that the pigs are the cleverest of animals, but he did not. This causes the reader to think: what if the pigs are not the most intelligent? What if the pigs manipulate the animals into thinking they are the most intelligent?

Persuasion in Animal Farm causes the animals to be blinded by the pig’s lies and leads the farm to a system of class distinction. The passage from Animal Farm,” About this time, too, it was laid down as a rule that when a pig and any other animal met on the path, the other animal must stand aside” (Orwell 65), shows how pigs were more important in Animal Farm. This show class distinction because it shows that pigs were more important than the other animals. Also, this shows what happens to you when you get all of the power, you become corrupt and create a system of class distinction. Another quote from Animal Farm that shows the hierarchy in Animal Farm is, “He believed that he was right in saying that the lower animals on Animal Farm did more

A necessity to ensure an ideal and functional community, as demonstrated in George Orwell 's 1945 novel Animal Farm, is the ability to detect and prevent corrupt conduct, read, and the will to challenge authority, which the animals do not possess, therefore putting them at major fault. One of the main factors that leads to the downfall of the farm and Animalism itself is the blatant stupidity that the animals, excluding the pigs, possess. They are overly dense to the point where the concept of corruption is near unfathomable, and thus cannot detect it or act upon their suspicions. Their willingness to believe Squealer 's persuasive speeches whenever doubt arises indicate that the animals are unable to think for themselves. “The other animals understood how to vote, but could never think of any resolutions of their own” (Orwell 19).

I found that as placement went on and I become a reflective practitioner, I could relate more to Larrivee (2009) advice on self-reflection, this allowed me to understand myself more as a learner, and enhance my ability to teach effectively and efficiently. When teaching the students how to write a factual recount on ‘The Three Little Pigs’, the IWB crashed and I was unable to get the book up. Through advancing and being able to self-reflect, I learnt the skill of slowing down my thinking process in order to become more aware of my surrounding and, to think of an alternative solution without panicking (Larrivee, 2009). Due to being able to think with a clear state of mind, I quickly thought of the idea to go and getting the book from the library.

Levels of Conformity The way one carries thierself and behaves in the society they adapted to is very similar to conformity and nonconformity. The ultimate meaning to conform is to “comply with rules, standards, or laws” while to nonconform is the opposite. Two opposing characters from different books experience the ability to conform or to not conform. An allegorical novel called Animal Farm written by George Orwell expresses many different unique characters, one conformist being named “Squealer.”

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.”

While trying to get their freedom and create the perfect utopia, animals found themselves in a difficult situation. They managed to cast out Mr Jones, but another dictator came to the farm, but this time it was one of them.

There is a common expression that says men are pigs, and in Animal Farm, Orwell shows us how pigs turn into men. For example, “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 p. 141). Orwell portrays the pigs as leaders that control the animals into believing that what they as pigs are doing is right which leads to corruption. So people’s ignorance contributes to social oppression in that quote from Orwell.

However, Orwell depicted, “The animals would still assemble on Sunday mornings to salute to the flag, sing Beasts of England, and receive their orders for the week; but there would be no more debates” (Orwell 54). In the past, the animals had the ability to speak out at the farm Meetings, even if they chose not to. However, now that Napoleon took this right away from them, he got to be in charge of all the decisions for the farm and no one could contradict him. As Animal Farm developed, the pigs slowly disregarded animals’ rights and opinions, and the farm subtly gained more dystopian
