The only good human being is a dead one.’ Snowball is a ruthless leader who is committed to the revolution, so committed in fact that he indicates he’d be willing to die for Animal Farm. This arrogance towards the distressed horse Boxer and the commitment he displays mirrors that of Leon Trotsky in Russian society, it is this lack of empathy that differentiates him from the others animals, yet his hope and high ambitions ultimately contribute to his exile, but these traits are initially what made him a good leader. Orwell is using the character of Snowball to reflect the ideas that essentially, knowledge and ruthlessness is power. Trotsky was intelligent and ruthless just like many
Orwell’s writing makes this moment in the novel so moving, for the reader, by his use of emotive language and characterisation of the animals in relation to the Russian revolution. The allegory is able to convey the feelings of betrayal the animals felt when they realised that their reality was nothing like the utopia of animalism. Napoleon and the pigs betrayed the other animals in the novella as they went against commandments 6 and 7. Orwell wrote, at this moment in the novella, that clover accepted ‘the leadership of Napoleon’. This meant that Napoleon was above all the other animals on the farm, Napoleon was a leader; therefore, the animals had to follow what he said.
Napoleon and Snowball originally strive to fulfil Old Major’s dreams but due to the self centeredness of Napoleon, among others, the tenets of Animalism are systematically undermined throughout the novel. Telephone Conversation by Wole Soyinka ridicules the hypocritical stances of society concerning racism. Similarly to the political cartoon, “Upgrading to cattle class” satirising the racial prejudice that is featured in society where Australians seemingly are more concerned about the treatment of cattle than the situation of Asylum seekers. Animal Farm expresses the nature of humanity through defamiliarisation, uncovering societal flaws through different characters representing different norms of society. Animal farm parodies the events of the Russian Revolution mocks humanity’s morally weak government foundations.
People need to learn how to love and care for them and these classes would be a tremendous booster for them. The main dog that is going to be helped the most will be Pit Bulls because society believes that they were bred to be killers and they weren't. This will inform you on some history of this breed, the love and affection that they really want, and my big idea which is classes for the more dominant breeds to help get them out of shelters and understood better.

The farming industry in particular, carries the burden of feeding a massive population, forcing the industry to maximize farming productivity to fulfill consumer demand through the use of large-scale industrial farming techniques. In order for farming industries to gain any-sort of profit corners are cut to produce remunerative earnings. For years the industry has made efforts to convert their manufacturing process of converting animals to food from the public.
This applies to the book, because a certain character takes initiative and had much of the power, and took control of the farm. A character in the novel that stands out, and had great power is a pig named Napoleon. Napoleon emerges as the leader of Animal Farm after the Rebellion. Napoleon uses military force (his nine loyal attack dogs) to intimidate the other animals and consolidate his power. In his supreme craftiness, Napoleon proves more treacherous than his counterpart, Snowball.
Firstly the animals live in fear, fear of man and the things man are going to make them do every day and when their time will be up. The persuasive techniques that Old Major says that if the animals follow him we can start a rebellion and if we all stick together we will be bigger in numbers not live in fear. Old Major pretends to be their friend but is secretly using a threating tone to try and control the other animals. Secondly the animals are not free and are trapped on the farm being over powered by the humans. Old Major uses persuasive techniques like using manipulative language trying to convince them to follow him and then we can finally be free and equal.

The ideas of this said “paradise” become known as Animalism and are taught to all of the animals as the correct way of life.
