Social relationships between men and women were discussed in “Lords of the Soil, Tenants of the Hearth” and the community life in the west and the transition to commercial agriculture were described in “All is Changed.” Faragher used the narrative of Robert Pulliam, who was born in Virginia and migrated to Illinois with his parents before settling on Sugar Creek. From talking about the John Pulliam, Robert Pulliam’s father, the book also tells a fact at that time in Illinois that no one could own their own land even they spent all their life to work on
‘Animal Farm’ written by George Orwell is a novel where George uses the technique of allegory to demonstrate a series of events that took place during the Russian Revolution in 1917. These events are compared to events that take place in a farm, such as events that arise when the animals in the farm go against Mr Jones, the owner and operator of the farm, and events that arise due to conflicts within the animals. The start of this novel serves as the start of a circle, because of which it is easy to foreshadow how the book will end. Basically via the use of Animalism, George shows how those that revolt eventually turn into a similar rule as the one they were rebelling against, and so the cycle of oppression goes on. The description of Mr Jones’s activities in the first paragraph foreshadows the activities that the pigs indulge in later in the book.
Just the Soviet, the pigs are able to establish themselves as a ruling class in the now new society. Symbolic Meaning: Some symbols that were in Animal farm were; Animal farm, the barn, and the windmill.Animal farm was a symbol because it is known as the beginning and the end of the novel and also symbolizes Russia and the Soviet Union which was under the Communist Party rule. Animal farm also stands for human societies in general. It has an internal structure of the nation, with a government (the pigs), a police force or army (the dogs), a working class (the other animals), with state holidays and rituals. The barn is a symbol because this was the place the pigs painted the seven commandments and then added their revisions, which represents the collective memory of a modern nation.

Through animal imagery, the big picture of the horrid lifestyle of a slave during 19th century can be seen. Not only do animals and silent women describe the people of the 19th century, but they also describe the idea of realism and naturalism. All of the slaves in the book do not know enough to do anything about their future because they are kept ignorant by the slave owners. The description of the ignorant slaves gives the reader a sense naturalism. Douglass also gives an example of naturalism while explaining how he felt about his mother dying.

Agrarian republicanism is what Thomas Jefferson strived for America to take as a form of the nation. Agrarian republicanism consisted of a nation of small family farms clustered tighter in rural communities. As he was in the White House, he bred some new traits of the developing nation. Although Jefferson started to establish his clearly defined idea of what form the American nation should take of agrarian republicanism as president, there were many issues and forces that threatened its survival by 1826 including westward expansion, slavery, and the economics of the time. As seen in Document A, Jefferson’s vision of an agrarian republic nation consisted of farmers who work on their own land producing mostly subsistence crops, little or no slave laborers with a relaxed, unscheduled work pace, and a ranch surrounded by crops secluded from most others in a small community.
