Examples Of Rebellion In Animal Farm

Animal Farm: Common Assessment

Rebellion usually starts when a community is against their leader or government. An example of this was in the American Revolution, when the patriots revolted against Britain because they disagreed again but then gained their independence. In the book Animal Farm, by George Orwell, “‘The rebellion starts when they are told how horrible it is from an experienced animal by how they barely even the pigs only food to survive and other problems’”(Orwell 6). This explains why they rebelled since they realized how horrible it was living under Mr. Jones. As a result, they rebelled against him where the animals succeeded. If other people were in the same situation as in Animal Farm, they should start a community rebellion against their leader when there are bad conditions, horrible treatment, and ideas.

If you were in this situation and the conditions the leader had the people in our poor, you should start a rebellion. For example, Old Major says, “‘He sets them to work, he gives back to the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself’”(6). This could be a reason to start a rebellion because usually in real life scenarios, such as the Holocaust, the

prisoners would be put to work and they would barely even get enough food to not starve to death. We have also seen this in the Industrial Revolution; the workers had horrible working conditions and they would get very little pay and it would only benefit their leader. Another example of this is when Cesar Chavez led the grape strike because the workers had horrible working conditions and very little pay, so they led a boycott to not buy grapes. This strike was successful and resulted in them getting better pay and working conditions. This means is that the outcome of a rebellion is that it creates better conditions than before, which gives the people who are rebelling a reason to rebel.
Another reason why a community should rebel is if they get treated poorly. For example, Old Major says, “‘But no animal escapes the cruel knife in the end‘”(6). This is another reason why a community should rebel if they are getting treated badly. This has happened in history when the French had a revolution because of how they were being treated. The unfairness of the leader decisions caused them to revolt which led them to get a different leader. This means that if a community thinks they are being treated poorly and unfair they should rebel to get either a different leader or to make a change.
Another reason why a group of individuals should rebel is if they disagree with the ideas of their leader.

For example, Orwell writes, “When they had finished their confession, the dogs promptly tore their throats out, and in a terrible voice Napoleon demanded whether any other animal had anything to confess”(75). This is a big reason for why a community should rebel if they are getting killed for something very little. We’ve seen similar ideas of this were people getting killed because of their beliefs, For example, the Jews when the holocaust was active every Jew was sent to concentration camps also others they were killed over their beliefs. What this means is that if they are getting killed over small things they should rebel since that is

wrong.
On a daily basis, I see myself revolt against my parents by saying no I won’t do it or disagreeing with them and etc. I do this because sometimes I feel I'm in the right and they are in the wrong and that’s why I revolt. Animal Farm by George Orwell should be used as a resource to see what you should do like there was a lot in the book that you can use in real life scenarios. For example if you disagree or a group of individuals thinks something is wrong with either how they are being treated or the conditions thereon or even the ideas of a leader or a teacher or someone with more power than them we could say they should revolt and do what they think is right for them or better for everyone. In conclusion, if you think something is wrong with how it is and if it affects you and others you should rebel for what’s right.
