George Orwell's Animal Farm

The targeted audience for this speech are the animals in the animal farm. The aim of the speech is to persuade the animals in the animal farm to rebel against the Napoleon and other pigs. As the animals in the animal farm are uneducated, which means that my language in the speech is going to be straightforward.

My dearest friend is gone, if we don’t want to lose any more animals, if we want to thrive we need to
