Animal Farm favourite character

My favourite animal farm character is Boxer, the horse, because he is a good leader even though he is not the head of the farm. I also like him because he was the one that tried to the things better and better, hard worker, dedicated to what he has to do and also he is very loyal. His role inspires me to give dedication to what I do and always work hard to make things better.  Perseverance is what he showed; I felt really sad what happened to him after the battle, because I thought he was going to be a next leader, because of his loyalty hard work and perseverance, such a nice character, Boxer.

In what ways does Old Major uses rhetoric in his speech and what impact does this have in the animals?

Here I’m going to show how and in what ways Old Major applies rhetoric in his speech. First of all rhetoric is a way to convince people to follow your idea it’s is used in essay and like in this situation, in speeches. Now Old Major tries to convince the animals from the farm by using rhetoric.

He repeats his ideas, do several questions and makes the animals think. He clearly shows his ideas, wants the animals to fight against they’re actual situation and make the animals see that they are all equal and they can fight for freedom. For example when he says “no animal in England is free” this will make the animals think of their situation and fight for freedom. He also uses questions “Why then do we continue in this miserable condition?” this type of rhetoric question is the one that makes the reader or listener think, in this case the animals. He answers the question to show his idea, rebellion, “there, comrades, is the answer to all our
problems. It is summed up in a single word--Man. Man is the only real
enemy we have. Remove Man from the scene and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished forever.”

With this speech and these rhetoric devices is how Old Major made the revolution happen. Fight against man, got freedom and equableness to all animals.

Animal Farm in 2013

I’m going to compare animal farm a Peruvian issue which is the talks that many students receive in their universities from this group called Movadef, this group looks for the liberation of prisoners that have been politics but this also looks for the freedom of terrorists. Many persons of this group have given lots of speech saying that freedom is a right that we should all have. These men use a lot of rhetoric in their speeches and that reminds me of Old Major, which is the way the get more and more people. The true is that most of these teenagers that are called don’t know what the persons in jail have done, and that is really disappointing. They say they look for freedom and equableness in our society but their true plan is to attempt against us. http://elcomercio.pe/actualidad/1624115/noticia-policia-justifico-presencia-agentes-encubiertos-san-marcos

Death in the animal farm!

We got the news that a man was found dead, they say that it was a murder. The witnesses say that the humans entered into the farm and started attacking the animals on defense they attacked back and this started a battle, a battle that brought a lot of sadness, pain and death.

We talk to the animals and they said that the humans killed a lot of sheep and they were just trying to protect themselves, who killed the man was Boxer, he was interrogated and this is what he said: “I didn’t mean to hurt nobody I was just defending the farm and the animals, they killed our sheep, our friends! I wouldn’t even hurt a human it was all self-defense!”.

The animals say that Boxer is not a murder, he is a hero! They manifest that he did a heroic act because they were being attacked and someone had to do something and Boxer was their savior, he stopped the humans of taking the farm and killing all the animals.

The animal farm is now crying the death of their mates but little by little life will be the same. They are still working on repairing the farm but they think humans won’t be back, at least for a while.

How does Napoleon use his power to control the animals?

Napoleon abuses of his power, now that he is the boss and head of the animal farm, he is now able to tell them what to do and control them. He got there by propagandas and lies and now he intimidates the animals to control them. He is not having a good management of his position.

He still uses propaganda to get into animals minds and make do as he pleases; he does this because most of the animals are ignorant. He takes advantage that he is more intelligent than the other animals and he receives a lot of help from Squealer who give speeches and sometimes lie to the animals to make them think that the best boss they’ve ever had is Napoleon. He also has dogs that are always protecting him so animals can´t fight against him.

So Napoleon using his power to do as he pleases he is controlling the animals, lying to them and intimidating them. He is not doing thing well and also he is doing them without truth and that’s the profile of a good leader.
