Furthermore, another similarity is that Napoleon was hiding the pups above the barn where he trained them and used the milk from the cows to feed them. This was kind of a major part in both the movie and the book because the dogs would do all of his dirty work like, chasing Snowball, and killing the sheep and the duck. These are some of the similarities between the movie and the

    In the novella intended for political satire, Animal Farm, the author George Orwell ties together his ideas about manipulation of language and an imbalance of power in a community. He plants the seeds of his ideas in the first chapters of the novella, where a veritable imbalance of power increases the desire for change in the community. In the middle portion of the novella, reform takes place, and manipulation of language is used to sustain such reform. Nearing the end of the novella, Orwell’s fantasy world sustains reform in which remaining radicals are eliminated and an imbalance of power is solidified. Orwell’s Animal Farm demonstrates an important real-world cycle in which an imbalance of power establishes a desire for change and change itself (embodied in manipulation of language),…

    Aside from the obvious species differences in the characters of Animal Farm and 1984 (animals and humans), the characters of both books offer an interesting comparison. Napoleon, great leader of the animal rebellion, mirrors many of the authority figures in 1984, such as Big Brother, leader of the Party, or O’Brien, member of the privileged Inner Party. O’Brien in particular offers a good contrast to Napoleon. Both the pig and the man share the dubious characteristic of hiding behind an identity that promotes hope among the masses. O’Brien pretends to be a member of a secret resistance society, the Brotherhood, and easily fools Winston and Julia into trusting him, ultimately sealing their doom. Napoleon is less subtle, but all of rights…
