Animal Farm Satire

Satire can be defined as the use of language styles such as humor, exaggeration or irony with an aim of pointing out a particular issue especially on politics. This paper tells a story about oranges will utilize the satire techniques and will enable a reader to get understanding of what these techniques mean.
There was war between two orange land owners in Kwekwe Village. The C. Sinens and the C. Aurant had vast land in which they planted the oranges. C. Sinens planted sweet oranges while C. Aurant planted sour oranges. The whole village was fed by the two orange owners since that was the only available food. At first, there was peace between the two producers. All the villagers depended on both of them.
The two farmers were so close that

they had everything organized. They could even sell together in the same market using the same stalls and calling customers together. They were so close that they would share meals once in a while. They were so close that their wives and children spent time together, went to school together, cooked meals and dressed in a similar manner. The two wives dressed their husband similarly. The two farmers even shared same workers and used similar farming techniques.
Then the war began, the wives shared their husbands’ secrets.

C. Aurant’s wife told C. Sinens’ wife that the husband has personal savings they will use to expand their farm. This became as a shocker since the two farmers saved every penny together. C. Sinens’ wife wet and told her husband about what she learnt. C. Sinens got mad because he realized that the friend was lying. He told his wife, “My dear, I am so pissed off at C. Aurant, how he could betray me this much? But do not worry; I have also been taking part of the money so that we open a very big business, we will be able to bring in new foods like tomatoes and potatoes from other

villages.”
After they had a quarrel, C. Sinens all over sudden began to insist that people should only eat his sweet oranges. The C. Aurant also believed his oranges could serve a better purpose for the community. All the villagers liked both oranges. They wished to stop the war but did not have the power. They began to starve as the two farmers fought against each other. The conflict was intense that C. Aurant stopped anyone who wanted to buy oranges from C. Sinens, and C. Sinens also did the same.
The supporters for both famers also got engaged in the politics. They were fighting with each other using force. Meanwhile children and their wives starved at home. It was funny that they never thought of other foods in the other villages. Two months passed and there were no solutions yet. The wives of C. Sinens and C. Aurant were still meeting amidst their husbands’ war. They were not able to stop it either. The two families, however, had something to eat because their farms were full of oranges. In the evenings, their supporters could not even get one orange to take home. Their wives continued to starve.
There was confusion in the village.

No one could go to school or do any economic activity. Everything was at a standstill. And someone came up with a solution. Ekeke, one of the Sinens’ supporters, decided to kill all the oranges in his supporter’s farm so that the war would end. He discussed his idea with an opponent who supported C. Aurant. He came up with a virus that would finish all oranges. The following day she sneaked to the farm and poured it in one tree. It took effect the following day; all oranges rot and the trees dried up. Unfortunately the opponent also did the same to C. Aurant’s farm, a man he claimed he

supported.
Both the farms were all dead. No oranges to eat, and there was nothing to fight for again. People slowly started to die off due to lack of oranges. The town became emptier as the days went on without food. All the money the two farmers saved could not be enough to start a living. There was peace finally. Everyone died because of starvation.
Since everyone died the town became a ghost town with no inhabitants. When the virus killed the oranges and the trees it did not harm the soil. Two men named Joseph Phillips and John Hollenbeck heard that the soil was rich with nutrients and very easy to grow plants. In light of what they heard about the soil, they did not get the story about the orange war that took place in the town.
They both had decided to plant orange trees in different areas. Both men had been seeing good results with the trees. They planted more and more orange trees everyday that they both had orange farms. People came to this town in seek of oranges. They started selling them and splitting the profit down the middle. But little did John Hollenbeck know that Joseph is selling oranges through the back door to make more money. Joseph was doing this so he could throw his partner out to use all the orange trees to profit more.
John found out that he was doing this and went to Joseph’s bedroom and poisoned his orange. But Joseph had already put a virus in Johns orange. The next morning the people came to buy oranges and found both men lying dead in their rooms with big smiles on their faces thinking they would be rich the next day. So it goes that town is once again empty due to the greediness of people and their oranges.
