The Suitability for Children of the Film Based on Orwell's Animal Farm The novel Animal Farm is written by George Orwell. This book is about how these innocent animals on Animal Farm rebel against Mr. Jones, the farmer. Mr. Jones is a cruel person who makes them work hard and ends up killing most of the animals for money. This novel is used as an extended metaphor for the Russian Revolution. It was the war that went wrong. Just like in this book, where the rebellion takes a wrong path and ends up in disaster. The film is a cheeky animated adaptation of George Orwell's novel for little children. Pleasant scenes of animal harmony avoid the political metaphor at times. In order to make the story more suitable for children the script is simplified and a lot of the atmosphere of the melancholy is ignored. The political issue like the cat who was meant to a traitor is not used in the film to make it less complicated for the kids. The struggle of building the windmill is not shown much in the film, as it could be too violent for the children. As in the fights of the windmill a lot of the animals are killed this will be too upsetting for the kids, so this fact is neglected. The hard times like the harsh, cold winters where the animals' food rations are reduced dramatically and they have to work extra hours for the windmill to be finished in time and not to be delayed any more, are also not included in the film. While the pigs are having a good time living in the house (even though this wasn't allowed) with enough food and all the luxuries in the world could have been shown more in detail in the film to show the real side of the pigs. Although the pigs do put the other animals to work (they sing the catchy "Work Is Freedom," its tune a clear echo of "Whistle While You Work"), the pig's dream of a Workers' perfect place is eventually
In the book Fahrenheit 451 and the book Animal Farm characters who are unaware of their surroundings allow for characters such as Beatty, Mr. Jones, and Napoleon to take over. Often times it is necessary for an oppressive power to be forceful in order to take over. Hitler is a leader who used force to take over the German people. In the case of both of these books the naïveté groups of people are used for their ignorance for the benefit of the leaders, and physical power is not required. Animal Farm and Fahrenheit 451 both have a group of naïve people who share the inability to question power, possess loyalty, and stupidity.

Pigs walking on two feet, horses and sheep talking. This is how George Orwell satirizes human nature in his classic novel Animal Farm. Animal Farm is an allegory of the Russian Revolution of 1917. The title of the book is also the setting for the action in the novel. The animals in the story decide to have a revolution and take control of the farm from the humans. Soon the story shows us how certain groups move from the original ideals of the revolution to a situation where there is domination by one group and submission by all the others. The major idea in this story is the political corruption of what was once a pure political ideal. Orwell uses satire to ridicule human traits in his characters such as Napoleon and Squealer. There are several different characters in the novel utilizing animals as symbols of people in real life during the Russian Revolution. Napoleon is the leader of the pigs that ultimately come to dominate the farm. The characteristics that we associate with pigs , lazy, greedy, and pushy are meant to symbolize the characteristics that the leaders of the Russian Revolution exhibited. Napoleon is admired by all of the animals because he is their leader. All of the animals believe that their leader wants to fulfill all of their needs. They also are convinced that Napoleon’s decisions are made the best interest of the animals. Napoleon’s piglike qualities are shown throughout the story. He exhibited greediness when he sold the dying horse, Boxer to a slaughterhouse for money so that he and the other pigs could purchase whiskey. Orwell ridicules human nature through Napoleon in the sense that he is trying to show how the greedy and power hungry eventually end in corruption.

The warning is that people must change their ways, or we are most surely doomed.
Feminist criminology is the study of crime in terms of gender for example why men commit more crime than women, why women do more petty crimes, like shop lifting, than violent crime, sexism in the court system, and female victimization. Feminist criminology contains many branches. Liberal, radical, Marxist, and socialist feminism are widely recognized, although other "strands" exist such as postmodernism and ecofeminism. Most feminist criminology involves critiques about how women offenders have been ignored, distorted, or stereotyped within traditional criminology, but there is no shortage of separate theories and modifications of existing theories.

In Animal Farm by George Orwell, the dominating pigs are the ultimate hypocrites. They implement many harsh rules for the farm, but continuously bend and break them according to their own needs. These actions lead to the breakdown of the animals’ supposed communal society and make evident how the dystopian elements in the novel lead to a controlling and dictatorial government. Through the ruling class of pigs, Orwell is able to provide commentary on the authoritarian governments of his time, as well as those in the future. Animal Farm by George Orwell uses the dystopian elements of societal control and the illusion of perfection to provide a critique of authoritarian governments and their tyrannical impact on society.
