    An Essay on Animal Farm, enjoy.

    Could it be possible, now in the presidential election, that a candidate could be corrupted by power if elected? A clairvoyant story by Eric Blair, better known as George Orwell, comes to mind. From this story, Animal Farm, Napoleon does have an extravagant change in which he becomes a dictator.
    Beginning from the earliest chapters of Animal Farm, Napoleon and another pig, Snowball, become leaders of the rebellion of animals. As soon as the animals govern themselves, these two intellectuals take to the stands to consider solutions of an improved life. Napoleon inducts several newborn puppies to educate. Meanwhile, Snowball documents plans for a windmill to produce electricity for the out of date farm.
    Eventually, Snowball’s plans become an affair of importance over the animals’ already intense work. Napoleon takes to the “no windmill” side, and in turn urinates on Snowball’s papers. At the immediate debate, Snowball pleads to the entire collection of the animals for this checkpoint to heaven. Napoleon’s “educated” dogs rush into the barn and chase Snowball away. His reason for usurping Animal Farm was Snowball was a human spy. Napoleon, shortly after, waffles to build the windmill anyway.
    After three attempts at building the windmill, now only for milling corn not electricity, the animals notice a trend of rule breaking from all of the pigs. Alcohol consumption, smoking and human-like qualities, once banned in the earlier chapters’ Ten Commandments, begin to take effect in the pigs. Napoleon, the leader of this horrid government can now be seen joyous with human farmers, once enemies. Napoleon rules similar to Mr. Jones the original master of Animal Farm, then called Manor Farm.
    Through this transformation of a simple, farm-breed pig, a whole new order takes on Animal Farm. This transformation occurred because of corruption by power and an outlet of power, the windmill. Napoleon, dictator of Animal Farm, renames the farm Manor Farm as in Mr. Jones’ era. It is only inevitable what power can do.



    “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, 1945.

    If you read it, I would like to personally thank you, but I can't.
