Please DO NOT summarize the paragraphs.  Seven Commandments1. Old Major instructed the animals to think of themselves as brothers and sisters, referring to unity and equality among animals if the revolution is to succeed.  At the true essence, when men were ruling, animals were slaughtered, so he wanted the animals not to infiltrate anything on fellow animals.2. This is a revised version of the original phrase “All animals are equal.” The original phrase expresses the Old Major’s ideals that made all animals equal where an individual or a group will not oppress another. Whereas, in the revised version, the word some marked the pigs as privileged compared to other working-class animals. This is a common scenario in a totalitarian regime, where working-class people are treated as if they exist only to serve those privileged with leadership.3. By radically simplifying languag, Squealer limits the terms of debate. By complicating language unnecessarily, he confuses and intimidates the uneducated, as when he explains that pigs, who are the brainworkers of the farm4. Squealer’s lack of conscience and unwavering loyalty to his leader, alongside his rhetorical skills, make him the perfect propagandist for any tyranny. Squealer’s name also fits him well: squealing, of course, refers to a pig’s typical form of vocalization, and Squealer’s speech defines him. At the same time, to squeal also means to betray, aptly evoking Squealer’s behavior with regard to his fellow animals.5.  When Napoleon needs to calm the other animals after an injustice is served, he sends Squealer. One of Squealer’s preferred methods of gaining compliance is to inspire fear that if things aren’t done Napoleon’s way, Mr. Jones might come back. The threat of Mr. Jones returning convinced the animals to agree his ridiculous rules.6. Over time, Napoleon changes all of the Seven Commandments, which were created to keep the animals humble and on equal footing, to allow the pigs to enjoy prohibited privileges and comforts. For instance, when the pigs move into the farmhouse, Napoleon amends the commandment about not sleeping in a bed to read, “No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets.” Napoleon changes other commandments as well so the pigs can wear clothes, drink alcohol, and even kill other animals. By the end of the book, the original commandments have been reduced to one statement that encapsulates the authoritarian nature of the farm: “ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS.” Literacy & Education1. This is another instance of the changing policy of the administrators. The pronouncement of this change in policy is made through sheep, comparatively timid sort of creature in the farm, who repeat it without thinking the importance. They actually represent uneducated and ignorant masses.2. Boxer’s existence becomes wrapped up in his efforts to support the Farm. Any setback or failure is blamed on his own personal lack of effort. This quotation demonstrates how concept of communal effort, upon which Animalism was founded, gets perverted into a self-destructive commitment to endless toil.3. In addition, Napoleon’s dogs demonstrate the way violence can be used as a means of oppression. Whereas Snowball works hard to educate the animals and improve the Farm, Napoleon trains his dogs in secret and then uses them to keep the animals in line. He focuses not on developing an informed and empowered populace, but rather on using violence to enforce his will.4.  Every time an act of Napoleon’s is questioned by the other animals — regardless of how selfish or severe it may seem — Squealer is able to convince the animals that Napoleon is only acting in their best interests and that Napoleon himself has made great sacrifices for Animal Farm. 5. Every tyrant has his sycophants, and Napoleon has one in Squealer, a clever pig who as the animals say “could turn black into white.” Throughout the novel, he serves as Napoleon’s mouthpiece and Minister of Propaganda. As the novel proceeds, he excuses Napoleon’s tyranny and sullies Snowball’s reputation, just as Napoleon desires.6. Within Animal Farm’s allegory of Soviet history, Boxer represents the Russian working class. Boxer does most of the work on the farm, and his strength and size give him a great deal of power. However, he is illiterate and trusting, which makes it easy for the pigs to trick him into submitting to their leadership. Orwell believed that something similar had happened to the Russian working class during the Soviet Revolution: the workers were powerful, and did all the work in the Soviet Union, but they were tricked and betrayed by Russian intellectuals. Hierarchy1. The omniscient narrator tells about the reaction of the hens whose eggs have been taken away to feed the pigs. In fact, the hens are told beforehand about this, but they do not expect that it would really happen. They are told to sacrifice their eggs for the health of the leaders. They, however, seem to rebel against this. This passage is significant in that it shows how people are promised good life in future for sacrifices in present.2. When Napoleon and Squealer leads the rest after defeating the original revolutionaries, they adopt this slogan to show that they are more important to the preservation of the revolution. It is a beautiful description of hypocrisy which exposes the gap between one’s action and words.3. This remark made by Mr Pilkington to Napoleon appears in the last chapter of ‘Animal Farm’. It emphasizes the significance of Animal Farm as an allegorical representation of human society, especially under the dictatorship. George Orwell, here, outrightly points out the ill-treatment of lower-class people by those who are in power. 4. These lines express how the animals on the farm were exploited by Mr Jones to work hard while he rested in the farmhouse. He hadn’t even to feed them well in turn what he enjoys from them. This attitude and laziness cause distaste among animals who in turn decides to revolt against him.5. This shows the reader Orwell’s opinion on the fragility of alliances between different ruling classes. Since both pigs and men have shown themselves to be untrustworthy and motivated by greed, the question of who cheated at cards is never answered, as Napoleon and Pilkington are equally likely suspects.6. Animal Farm, divides animals into categories as humans are ranked today, from the animals of lesser intelligence up to the smart characters. The smart animals happened to be the pigs, who proved the human theory, “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” This story shows these pigs slowly using their manipulative brains, and thoughts, to take control of this Animal Farm. Throughout the book these pigs gain more power and begin to abuse it corrupting the system transforming this socialism dream into a communism starting the whole cycle of unfair rule where signs of unrest become present once again. Power Corrupts1. The leaders at the animal farm, where they have caused rebellion, raise this slogan. However, its attraction lies in equality that it intends to create. The slogan is so powerful that is makes all the animals of the farm rebel against the farm owner. It is significant that it is changed later in the book.2. The clever propaganda minister, Squealer, order the animals not to sing the same old song. He starts rather a new song. He says that this is going to be the national song to be sung on every Sunday with the flag hoisting ceremony. This new song shows how propaganda replaces the old sayings and rules with new sayings and rules.3. Napoleon has taken charge of the farm. New honorifics have been coined to instill the sense of respect among the animals for leaders. This is the part of the same game started by Squealer. It is significant part because the Russian Revolutionaries were showered with the same flowery titles the most common of which is Comrade.4. This commandment was without the last two words when it was formed. However when the rulers have become so powerful that none dares challenge their authority, they have added the last two words to the existing commandment. Now this prohibits the drinking of alcohol to excess. This means that they can drink if they think it is good for them.5. This quote comes from the first instance of the pigs granting themselves special privileges. To suppress the possibility of this unequal treatment causing dissent amongst the other animals, Squealer is utilized to explain this decision, as he will do many more times in the future.6. Napoleon, aided by Squealer, uses Snowball as a scapegoat, which means that when something goes wrong, he blames Snowball. As Snowball is not present, Snowball can’t defend himself and reveal falsehoods in the accusations, essentially creating a situation in which all of Napoleon’s statements regarding Snowball are simply accepted as truth. This tactic means that Napoleon does not need to take responsibility for mistakes and misdeeds, and it also allows him to continue to receive the animals’ support and respect even when calamity occurs, as when the windmill collapses. Further, by casting Snowball in the role of the enemy, Napoleon ensures that his rival will never be able to return to the farm and challenge his leadership. POV1. Once the animals have taken charge of the farm, they work very hard. The narrator of the novel tells in these lines that the animals are very happy with the work. They are ready to sacrifice their extra hours for the welfare of the community. They are presenting an idyllic workforce that do not bear any grudge and do not wish to sit idle. These lines are significant as they present a contrast between supposed animal behavior and perceived human behavior in work.2. The working-class people were toiled throughout their life, especially the mine workers of Russia. Under Tzar Nicholas II’s rule, they suffered, as the animals suffer under the unconcerned attitude of Mr. Jones. Unfortunately, these quoted lines depict the situation remains unchanged even at the end of the novel.3. As Animal Farm is mostly told from an objective perspective, this passage represents one of the few instances in where a character’s thoughts are embellished upon for the reader. Following Napoleon’s public executions, Clover laments the farm’s current state, and how different it is from the original ideals of the rebellion.4. This quotation, spoken by Benjamin the donkey, reflects the horror that the animals feel upon learning of Boxer’s fate. It also clearly demonstrates the ruthlessness and violence at the heart of Napoleon’s totalitarian regime, as well as the efforts made by the regime to keep that violence secret.5. While this reply puzzles the animals, the reader understands Benjamin’s cynical yet not-unfounded point: In the initial moments of the rebellion, Animal Farm may seem a paradise, but in time it may come to be another form of the same tyranny at which they rebelled.6. The story is told by a third-person omniscient narrator, who has full insight into both the collective and individual minds of the animals and humans. However, the narrator’s focus is generally on the perspective of the lower class animals, as we rarely get direct insight into the thoughts and feelings of the pigs and the dogs. Instead, their actions and plans are usually revealed to us as the other animals come to learn about them. Even though the narrator is omniscient, it often reveals the truth of the events unfolding in a slightly indirect way, which does not exactly state what happens, but which still manages to give the reader a completely clear impression. A good example of this can be found near the end of chapter 8. Arts & Humanities Writing ENG 111 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
