  • Character Metaphors in George Orwell's Animal Farm
    Character Metaphors in George Orwell’s Animal Farm p-ISSN 2355-2794 e-ISSN 2461-0275 Dian Fajrina* University of Syiah Kuala, Banda Aceh, INDONESIA Abstract Animal Farm was written by George Orwell in 1944 to criticize the Soviet Union leaders and their administration represented by animal characters. The objective of this study was to find out the resemblances between the character of Soviet Union leaders at the time the novel was written and those depicted in the novel. In analysing the objective of this study, content analysis was used. The data are the dialogues and other information in the novel concerning the metaphors of characters between the Soviet Union leaders of the 20th century and those in Animal Farm. The writer finds out that Jones metaphors Nicholas II, the last Tsar of Russian Monarchy, Old Major with his speech metaphors Karl Marx with his Communist Manifesto, Napoleon as Stalin, Snowball as Trotsky, Squealer as Pravda, the Russian Newspaper at that time, Frederick as German and Boxer as the type of gullibility proletariat. Indeed, George Orwell‟s timeless work reminds us that totalitarianism could be harmful to one society. Keywords: Animal characters, metaphors, critics. 1. INTRODUCTION George Orwell, a pen name for Eric Arthur Blair, was a British novelist, essayist and critic. He was born in India in the nineteenth century (1903-1950), and grew up in a war and military atmosphere. His experienced joining the Indian Imperial Police from 1922 to 1927 had changed his character into a rebel in terms of literature and politic. In 1936, Orwell already knew where he stood when he said that, “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it” (Orwell, 2014, p.

  • Master's Dissertation/ Trabajo Fin De Máster
    UNIVERSIDAD DE JAÉN Centro de Estudios de Postgrado Master’s Dissertation/ Trabajo Fin de Máster A STORY COME TRUE: AN ANALYSIS OF GEORGE ORWELL’S ANIMAL FARM (1945) Student: Balbuena Jurado, Juana Tutor: Dr. Pilar Sánchez Calle Dpt.: English Philology Centro de Estudios de Postgrado de Centro de Estudios December, 2017 1 ABSTRACT AND KEY WORDS Nowadays, we are living in an age in which people are losing their critical thought and are easily influenced by other people. This situation can be connected to George Orwell‘s eclipsed work Animal Farm (1945). This story starred by naïve farm animals seems to provide a lighter criticism on politics than the one offered in Orwell‘s most famous work Nineteen Eighty-four (1949). Nevertheless, this Master‘s Dissertation aims to prove the relevance of this work as a social criticism. With this purpose, this MD will study literature as a social criticism, Animal Farm‘s literary genre, its context, formal aspects and the critical reflections that it displays such as manipulation through language or indoctrination. Additionally, there will be a section devoted to analyse the influence of Animal Farm in our modern world: literature, music, cinema, TV and even our current way to approach politics. This work will be ended by drawing some conclusions about the influence of Animal Farm and the impact of its criticism. Key words: Animal Farm, George Orwell, Russia, communism, manipulation, social criticism. RESUMEN Y PALABRAS CLAVE Actualmente estamos en medio de un periodo en el que la gente está perdiendo su pensamiento crítico y es influenciada fácilmente por otros.

Tired of being exploited for human gain, the animals—who have human characteristics such as the power of speech—agree to create a new and fairer society. The novel reads like a fairy tale, and Orwell originally subtitled it as one, but it is also a satire containing a message about world politics and especially the former Soviet Union. In a satire, the writer attacks a serious issue by presenting it in a ridiculous, funny way. Orwell uses satire to expose what he saw as the myth of Soviet Socialism. The novel tells a story that people of all ages can understand, but it also tells us a second story— that of the real-life Revolution. Since the Bolshevik Revolution of the early 1900s, the former Soviet Union had captured the attention of the world with its socialist experiment. This form of government had some supporters in Britain and the United States, but Orwell was against this system.

PUB DATE 96 CONTRACT R117G10015; R305A60005 NOTE 59p. PUB TYPE Reports Evaluative/Feasibility (142) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Academic Achievement; Cultural Context; *Educational Attitudes; Elementary Education; Ethnography; *Literacy; *Low Income; Reading Attitudes; Social Influences; *Socioeconomic Status IDENTIFIERS *Literacy as a Social Process; *New York (Upstate) ABSTRACT An ethnographic study examined and compared schooled and non-schooled uses of literacy and literature in a small, rural, all white, Adirondack Mountain community in upstate New York to explicate the way in which low social class and economic status constrain school achievement. More than 75 interviews were conducted over a 3-year period with students, teachers, school administrators, former students, parents, community members, and local employers. Observations were also conducted at graduations, holiday celebrations, faculty meetings, and the non-school classroom of hunters' safety training and snowmobile safety training. Results indicated that most of the families in the town are literate and are often involved with literacy during the course of their daily lives. Literacy is seen to exist within a social and cultural context, and its definitions are varied and changeable. People in the town understand what is required for academic achievement, but often choose not to pursue it. In both school and non-school settings, literacy is used for particular purposes, and there are specific demands placed by the community upon its members regarding specific texts.

  • Why Does Boxer Die in Animal Farm
    1 Why Does Boxer Die In Animal Farm Boxer is a loyal supporter of Napoleon, and he listens to everything the self-appointed ruler of the farm says and assumes, sometimes with doubt, that everything Napoleon tells the farm animals is true, hence Napoleon is always right. in cartoons for many years before Orwell began to write Animal Farm. Boxer fights in the Battle of the Cowshed and the Battle of the Windmill. should live on in all the animals; ergo another excuse to make the animals work even harder. Boxer is based on a coal miner named Alexey Stakhanov who was famous for working over his quota. He is shown as the farm s most dedicated and loyal laborer. Boxer was the only close friend of Benjamin, the cynical donkey. He is described as faithful and strong ; 1 and he be- lieves any problem can be solved if he works harder. Squealer concocts a sentimental tale of the death of Boxer, saying that he was given the best medical care possible, paid for by the compassionate Napoleon. Boxer supported Stalin and also was very loyal to his kind. citation needed The Joseph Stalin Regime built a cult of personality around him that rewarded workers who showed a similar heroic dedication to production and efficiency. Boxer s strength plays a huge part in keeping Animal Farm together prior to his death the rest of the animals trusted in it to keep their spirits high during the long and hard laborious winters. Squealer says that his sayings, Comrade Napoleon is always right and I will work harder.

    Animal Farm Quote Bank Government / Pigs in charge: “„Only get rid of Man, and the produce of our labour would be our own. Almost overnight we could become rich and free. What then must we do…Rebellion!”‟ (Orwell 7). “The work of teaching and organising the others fell naturally upon the pigs, who were generally reconised as being the cleverest of the animals” (Orwell 11). “„You will have all the oats and hay you want”‟ (Orwell 12). “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 19). “He said the education of the young was more important than anything that could be done for those who were already grown up” (Orwell 34-35). “Napoleon took them away from their mothers, saying that he would make himself responsible for their education” (Orwell 35). “The animals had assumed as a matter of course that these would be shared out equally; one day, however, the order went forth that all the windfalls were to be collected and brought to the harness-room for the use of the pigs” (Orwell 25). “„It is for your sake that we drink the milk and eat those apples. Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Jones would come back!”‟ (Orwell 25). “…Snowball made a little speech, emphasizing the need for all animals to be ready to die for Animal Farm if need be” (Orwell 30-31). “It had come to be accepted that the pigs… should decide all questions of farm policy…” (Orwell 47).

  • Animal Farm by George Orwell
    Animal Farm by George Orwell ANIMAL FARM by George Orwell I MR. JONES, of the Manor Farm, had locked the hen-houses for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the popholes. With the ring of light from his lantern dancing from side to side, he lurched across the yard, kicked off his boots at the back door, drew himself a last glass of beer from the barrel in the scullery, and made his way up to bed, where Mrs. Jones was already snoring. As soon as the light in the bedroom went out there was a stirring and a fluttering all through the farm buildings. Word had gone round during the day that old Major, the prize Middle White boar, had had a strange dream on the previous night and wished to communicate it to the other animals. It had been agreed that they should all meet in the big barn as soon as Mr. Jones was safely out of the way. Old Major (so he was always called, though the name under which he had been exhibited was Willingdon Beauty) was so highly regarded on the farm that everyone was quite ready to lose an hour's sleep in order to hear what he had to say. At one end of the big barn, on a sort of raised platform, Major was already ensconced on his bed of straw, under a lantern which hung from a beam. He was twelve years old and had lately grown rather stout, but he was still a majestic-looking pig, with a wise and benevolent appearance in spite of the fact that his tushes had never been cut.

  • Squealer's Use of Euphemism and Doublespeak in George
    AJELLS: Awka Journal of English Language and Literary Studies, Vol. 7 No. 2, 2020 SQUEALER’S USE OF EUPHEMISM AND DOUBLESPEAK IN GEORGE ORWELL’S ANIMAL FARM Chinyere Alozie-Onumadu Girls’ Secondary School Ikenegbu, Owerri, Nigeria. Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper reviewed the various communicative functions of euphemism and the implication of doublespeak. Politeness theory developed by Brown and Levison in 1978, Goffman’s theory of face and Steven McCornack’s Information Manipulation Theory founded in 1992 were adopted in analyzing Squealer’s utterances in Orwell’s Animal Farm. In describing the communicative functions of euphemism and implication of doublespeak, the descriptive research design and the qualitative method were used to analyze nine utterances from Squealer. From the analysis, the researcher found out that although euphemism and doublespeak are inter-related, the phenomena differ. The study also revealed that doublespeak can be notorious in conversation. Keywords: Euphemism, Doublespeak, Information Manipulation Theory Introduction Euphemism and Doublespeak are closely related. A phrase in doublespeak as well as in euphemism is a roundabout way of saying something. Euphemism has a great effect on people’s daily communication. It can make a harsh topic softer and an embarrassing conversation agreeable while adhering to social communicative conventions. In other words, it saves the faces of both sides and enable people to communicate successfully. On the other hand, doublespeak is an expression that deliberately reverses the meaning of words. It may take the form of euphemisms (e.g ‘downsizing’ for ‘layoff’), it primarily meant to make ‘the truth’ sound palatable. The phenomena also play the part of showing politeness, concealing feelings and deceit (www.cliffnotes.com).

  • Here Is a Summary of Chapter One of Animal Farm. After Mr. Jones, the Owner of Manor Farm, Falls As
    For next week (18.01.2018) : Here is a summary of Chapter One of Animal Farm. After Mr. Jones, the owner of Manor Farm, falls asleep drunken, all of his animals meet in the big barn because of old Major, a 12-year-old pig asks them to. Major holds an exciting political speech about the bad things done to them by their human keepers and their need to rebel against the tyranny of Man. After making a list of on the various ways that Man has exploited and hurt the animals, Major mentions a strange dream of his in which he saw a vision of the earth without humans. He then teaches the animals a song — "Beasts of England" — which they sing repeatedly until they awaken Jones, who fires his gun from his bedroom window, thinking there is a fox in the yard. Frightened by the shot, the animals leave the barn and go to sleep. Altered from: https://www.cliffsnotes.com/literature/a/animal-farm/summary-and- analysis/chapter-1 Please read chapter one yourself but do NOT worry about anything you don’t understand – just continue reading!
