Animal Farm (Effectiveness)

The way George George Orwell uses animals to portray his message about utopoas could be said to be excellent. He shows how a utopia for one person can not come about without having a distopia for someone else.

The pigs represent figures of authority who use others for their own personal gain and perfect world. Napolean has his own personal escort of dogs to enforce his demands if any animal even thinks of acting out. Squealer lies for Napolean if any animal questions one of Napolean's decrees.

The animals, other than the pigs, traded one "hell" for another one, but this one was even worse. Napolean worked them even more than Jones did and gave them even less food than Jones. Napolean wanted the majority of the food for himself,so, he cut the rations to less for all the other animals gradually. Napolean hardly ever left the farmhouse, because the other animals on the farm were his slaves and believed everything that he told them.

The pigs took advantage of the fact that most of the other animals could not read. When Napolean decided that he wanted to sleep in a bed, he changed the rule to no sleeping in beds with sheets. Napolean told the other animals they were mistaken, when a commandment was questioned, because the animals remembered it differently.

Napolean and the other pigs wanted to be humans. The pigs drank alcohol like humans do. They wore clothes and stood on their hind legs. At the end its ironic how the pigs and humand were portrayed the same. The pigs asnd humans are both greedy and money hungry. The pigs revert back to the way the farm was before the rebellion, the only difference being that now the pigs are the ones in charge.
