Grade 9 Animal Farm Essay

Write about society.

animal farm essay grade 9

For Christmas, I have offered paid subscribers the chance to have some work marked by me. Thank you B, for volunteering.

B has got a low grade 9, and wants to write a perfect essay.

I love this. Grade 9 is not just for geniuses. It is for students who think like a student of literature , rather than a reader of books .

A reader of books tries to understand what the writer wants us to think about the characters and their actions.

A student of literature tries to understand what this tells us about ourselves and our society, and what the author wants to change about us and the society they live in.

Anyone can do this.

Is This Worth Reading If I Haven’t Read Animal Farm?

B got 27/30, a grade 9, because she focused on Orwell’s ideas about the characters and the world of the novel.

But, B could easily have got 30/30 by writing about Orwell’s ideas about his society at the time, and his predictions about what sort of society humans are always likely to create because of their natures.

This is how you get 30/30 when writing about any text. What is the author telling us about society, then and now?

animal farm essay grade 9

'How does Orwell use what happens to the 7 Commandments to explore ideas about the revolution?' (Animal Farm).

Hi Sir, this is a wonderful Christmas present! I got 31/34 on this (just within Grade 9), but my teacher's comments are extremely confusing! I am happy with the level of context I used throughout (perhaps too much, if I'm honest) and some of my analysis. However, I was told I needed to offer 'more varied interpretations', and I 'drift occasionally with judicious use of precise references to support interpretations' (no idea what this means). I also needed to include more about 'the book as satire' and 'Orwell's political views, and broader ideas about any kind of dictatorial rule and corruption of idealism' and focus on how this is a 'law book' (?). If you are unable able to mark the whole essay (completely understand how Christmas is a busy time for all), please could you explain what these terms mean?

Thanks for being a paid subscriber and for sending in your essay.

Teachers write a lot of helpful feedback for their students. But often it is useless! Teachers don’t realise that they are experts, and so find it impossible to think like a student.

I write a lot in these posts. I know much of it might not make sense, because I am an expert. That is why I always give you the essay. This is what grade 9 looks like. Readers then have a better chance of understanding why it gets grade 9.

Your teacher’s advice probably means this:

Have ‘more varied interpretations’:

What was Orwell saying about communism and about Russia? What was he saying about people, and their desire to believe in something, even when the evidence shows that belief is wrong? Was he ultimately an optimist about equality and overcoming the class system, or a pessimist?

You ‘drift occasionally with judicious use of precise references to support interpretations’:

You sometimes don’t use the best quotes, or enough references to what happens in the text. This means you don’t fully back up some of your interpretations of the novel.

I also needed to include more about 'the book as satire'

This comes back to Orwell’s intentions again. Let’s think about the purpose of satire. It is easy to see it as sarcasm, or as simply making fun of something.

But it is much more than that. It takes an idea and stretches it to breaking point. It challenges you to see the world in a new and horrifying way.

For example, in A Modest Proposal , Jonathan Swift (who wrote Gulliver’s Travels) wrote a pamphlet about the poor in Ireland. He noticed that poor people had a huge number of children. The rich, instead of just paying the poor to be idle by giving to charity, could help them by buying their fat babies. They would pay to fatten them up. The babies could then be cooked and eaten as a delicacy at dinner parties. This would give the poor a means of earning money, and end poverty.

The point of the satire is this. The rich are landowners. The poor are farmers on their land. The rich create poverty by not paying enough. This means that babies are malnourished, get ill and frequently die. So, the rich kill babies. But they do it so they themselves can stay fat and rich - their riches depend on the poor being paid too little.

So, satire is always angry. It challenges the reader to see their behaviour in a new way. Based on your behaviour, Swift says, the poor would actually be better of if we cannibalised their children. Your attitude to the poor is worse than eating babies, because at least if you did that, poor people would at least have a chance to escape being poor.

Ok, now we know what satire is, what is Orwell so angry about?

‘Orwell's political views, and broader ideas about any kind of dictatorial rule and corruption of idealism’

He can see that the great hope of communism in Russia has failed. Stalin is the Napoleon-like figure who has turned on his own people, starving millions of them with his five year plans, executing thousands for political disagreement.

He is also furious with communists in the UK, who have turned a blind eye to Stalin’s atrocities because they want to keep believing in communism. They believe in the ideal, and so ignore the terrible facts.

He is horrified that (in 1943) Stalin and Russia are now an ally in the war against Hitler. This means communism will continue to be celebrated.

He is also horrified that Stalin is really no different to Hitler. They are both dictators who are happy to kill millions of their own people, as well as invade other countries.

Now we can see his horror is aimed at us. He is asking if it is human nature to follow dictators. This comes from his own experience of fighting in the Spanish Civil War, on the side of the communists and republicans. The communists lost, and nationalists won. Spain was then ruled by the fascist dictator, Franco. Stalin supported the republicans and Hitler supported the nationalists.

The fascists won, even though thousands of men from democratic countries in Europe rushed to Spain to join the fight against fascism. They had hope for democracy and the rights of the poor. But Franco still won. He had greater support.

So, the novel asks if people will always end up preferring powerful rulers to fair rulers, dictatorship rather than democracy.

He took this to it’s logical conclusion in 1948, when he wrote 1984. In this novel he imagined Britain being controlled by a dictatorship which kept changing history - rewriting the commandments in the same way.

Within Orwell’s satirical allegory of the Russian revolution, the revelation of overthrowing the humans is portrayed as, initially useful, but by the end of the novella, the changes to the seven commandments, highlight that the animals’ situation had not changed.

A nice thesis statement. This is where you need to share Orwell’s anger. Explain what the allegory has to say about communism, idealism and human nature - will we always prefer dictators to democracy? In other words, what do the animals represent?

Firstly, from the very beginning, after the successful revolution, the Seven Commandments are established in an equal manner. Orwell uses poetic language to describe how the animals ‘frolicked’ and ‘gambolled’ around the fields, full of joy and enthusiasm after their victory. These verbs have positive connotations and make it clear from the start that the revolution was, inherently, a good thing.

Brilliant use of the quotes. But, don’t just say what this reveals about the world and the characters in the novel. Explain what this then reveals about Orwell’s view of his society.

However, this poetic language is juxtaposed with the rest of the novel’s more monotonous and less enthusiastic language, especially after the Seven Commandments are set. The pigs are immediately described as taking control with the way they are the ones to paint the words on the wall, and the disparity in literacy levels are clear from the start– the pigs and dogs had already memorised them, but other animals struggled immensely. For example, Boxer, who was only able to remember the first three to four letters. Perhaps Orwell’s intentions were to highlight how the very main message of the revolution- equality- was being contrasted with the way the rules were set, foreshadowing the pigs’ exploitative use of the Commandments to control the animals.

You are starting to think more about what Orwell thinks about his own society. But you don’t really get specific. Is he saying that a lack of education makes it easier to control people, and therefore education and literacy are essential to stop dictatorship? Or is he saying people are too stupid to remember the past, because they would much rather keep imagining a better future? Or is he saying we are all too selfish to ever create a world in which people have equality and fairness?

Alternatively, Orwell was attempting to convey that the timing of the revolution was the issue as the animals were underprepared, not the revolution itself. This links in with the Russian revolution when the Social Democrats were split between those who wished to implement communism in Russia immediately, versus those who wished to wait until Russia was ready; this foreshadows how the animals on the farm were eventually divided into those who supported Snowball against those who didn’t. Therefore, by using the unequal beginning to the Seven Commandments establishment, Orwell has perhaps shown it to be against the previously perfect revelation.

Yes, this is too much context. Readers would not have known or cared about the split in the Social Democrats. They may well have known that Lenin and Trotsky believed in one kind of communism, and Stalin believed in quite another. Your last sentence shows that you are thinking hard about Orwell’s purpose, but I’m not really sure what you mean. This is what your teacher might mean when they ask for better quotes or references to back up your interpretations.

Secondly, Orwell has emphasised how the Seven Commandments underwent subtle changes as the novella progressed to portray how the revolution had lost its meaning. Old Major had clearly dictated that ‘whatever goes on two legs is an enemy; whatever goes on four legs, or has wings, is a friend’ to highlight that the animals should be fighting the humans. The juxtaposition between the nouns ‘friend’ and ‘enemy’ give the statement a tone of finality to make it clear that the animals are against the humans.

This is a perfect paragraph about the novel. The next step is to ask what this represents about Orwell’s view of society or Russia.

However, after the revolution, the pigs shorten this to the maxim ‘four legs good, two legs bad’ which almost removes the original meaning of Old Major’s teachings and suggest that the revolution was doomed to fail from the start. This change to the teaching led to the pigs being able to utilise the sheep as a weapon for propaganda and drown out any opposition to Napoleon, notably when Snowball was attempting to put forth his own ideas.

This is a brilliant idea. But how does changing the maxim change the meaning? How exactly does it lead to the silencing of Snowball? What is lost when we take out the words ‘wings’ and ‘friend’, and ‘enemy’? This again is what your teacher means by analysing the right quotes and references.

This was not the first instance that the pigs had changed the Commandments. For example, in order to justify them sleeping in the farmhouse, the Commandment ‘no animal shall sleep in a bed’ was swiftly changed to add ‘with sheets’. A more serious example was when the Commandment ‘no animal shall kill another animal’ was altered to ‘no animal shall kill any other animal without cause’ to justify Napoleon’s mindless slaughter of animals who had, allegedly, betrayed him. The noun ‘cause’ is ironic and could create confusion and doubt of the pigs’ true intentions within the reader as it implies that there is a potential reason for murder and execution.

Now we are talking. An excellent analysis of what Orwell does in the novel. So, now link this to his views of human nature, of politics, of dictatorship, of our willingness to go along with strong rulers, of our ability or desire to be deceived, or his despair at rulers ever preferring equality to power.

Alternatively, it could be a Biblical allusion to the Ten Commandments and a more convoluted version of “thou shalt not kill”, suggesting that the revolution’s ideology had become twisted in order to fit the viewpoint of those corrupted by power. This could also be a reference to the Seven Deadly sins, further reinforcing the idea that the revolution was doomed from the setting of the Commandments.

Brilliant. So, does Orwell want his readers to agree with these Christian commandments? What does he say about Christianity and the belief in heaven in the novel? Does he see it as another form of mind control, or as an ally in promoting equality and democracy?

Perhaps Orwell’s intentions were to highlight how those unchecked with power were able to take something good and manipulate it to fit their selfish desires, but still maintain a facade of integrity. Therefore, it can be argued that the changing of the Seven Commandments were merely a tool for the corrupted animals to use in order to maintain control and exploit the beneficial ideology of the revolution.

This is another great analysis of Orwell’s ideas about the characters in the novel. But again, you need to link it to his ideas about society at the time.

Finally, the ending of the novella where the Seven Commandments were reduced to a single phrase is used to elucidate how the revolution had failed and nothing had changed.

The paradox ‘all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others’ highlights how deeply rooted the corruption had become as it was able to infect the rules upon which the society was based on. The comparative ‘more equal’ also suggests this is a competition and juxtaposes the statement itself and, morally, equality should be a prerequisite rather than a prize. This emphasises how the subtle changes of the commandments had spiralled into a complete juxtaposition of the original revolution’s meaning- as if the pigs no longer cared about disguising their corruption and deceit because they had absolute power and were confident no one would be able to overthrow them.

Fantastic. Same comments from me as above!

Alternatively, the Commandments’ subtle changes only became evident when the pigs became more corrupted; if they had wanted to, they could have made them unequal from the start but instead made it so all the animals received some benefits. It could be argued that the revolution only started to become twisted when the pigs became more corrupted due to the influence of humans. This is supported by the cyclical ending of the novella, in which the animals had once again been under authoritarian rule of the humans as shown through them ‘look[ing] from pig to man and from man to pig but it was impossible to tell which was which’, suggesting the failure of the revolution was due to outside influence rather than just the actions of the pigs themselves.

Ah, this was brilliant until the end. But is Orwell arguing that the animals act like humans because of ‘outside influences’, or because they always carried that humanity in them? This is a satire, so it is the same as Orwell asking if humans are always much more like animals - we act on instinct and emotion and desire - and then intellectualise those primitive and selfish actions to justify them and excuse them. The more power we have, the less human and equal we have to be, and the more we can indulge our animal nature’s without fear of how other people will react.

Perhaps Orwell had deliberately done this to mislead the reader and make them feel as confused and oppressed as the animals to highlight how those in charge- him as the author- could manipulate the facts to their own perspective. Therefore, it can be argued that the conclusion of the novella meant the revolution had been a futile endeavour as nothing had changed, paralleling to how the Bolsheviks had remained an oppressive force even after the revolution.

Overall, through the use of drastic and subtle changes of the Seven Commandments, the revolution is largely shown to be a meaningless attempt for the proletariats to break free from authoritarian rule, but would always fail as long as corruption of media is possible and those in power remained within society.

In this section you start to show how Orwell is commenting on his own society, as well as the Russian Revolution. The idea that Orwell tells his reader that he is just as untrustworthy and manipulative as the pigs is fascinating. I’d love you to prove this - it is a beyond grade 9 idea I haven’t met before.

animal farm essay grade 9

‘Therefore, by using the unequal beginning to the Seven Commandments establishment, Orwell has perhaps shown it to be against the previously perfect revelation.’- ah, sorry! Mistake in dictation, it is supposed to say ‘revolution’ at the end. I was trying to say how Orwell’s intentions in making the setting of the Commandments unequal were to show the revolution was futile from the start, as the animals had stayed unequal in its aftermath.

You have mentioned a few times that I need to reference Orwell’s personal beliefs in society, but I am not sure on what they are. Would it be useful if I read his other works (e.g. 1984) and articles? Can I briefly mention any of his other works in an essay to support points about his beliefs in society?

The idea that Orwell is deliberately manipulating his readers proof is as follows:

When introducing Squealer, we are told he has the ability to turn ‘black into white’ with his words, and this is shown throughout the novel when he manipulates the animals to follow Napoleon’s teachings. However, it could also be paralleling how Orwell is telling this story: throughout, we never see the perspective of any other character and view it as an omniscient reader. Who’s to say that our view of the situation isn’t being distorted?

‘ All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than other animals’- this paradox was made by the pigs and can be considered a manipulation of media. On the one hand, it can mean ‘equal’ in the desirable sense- the pigs are all of a higher status than the other animals as they have access to more equality. But it could also mean ‘more equal’ in the sense of being identical and therefore makes it an undesirable quality- pigs are not at all like the lower class animals, and are in a separate, elite group. These views vastly contrast each other, but it is unclear what the true meaning of the statement is about. Orwell has control over this and it seems to be deliberately vague to show he himself has manipulated the readers in a way.

Extra Credit for Animal Farm

Tough Crowd. Though Animal Farm eventually made Orwell famous, three publishers in England and several American publishing houses rejected the novel at first. One of the English editors to reject the novel was the famous poet T.S. Eliot, who was an editor at the Faber & Faber publishing house. One American editor, meanwhile, told Orwell that it was “impossible to sell animal stories in the U.S.A.”

Red Scare. Orwell didn’t just write literature that condemned the Communist state of the USSR. He did everything he could, from writing editorials to compiling lists of men he knew were Soviet spies, to combat the willful blindness of many intellectuals in the West to USSR atrocities.

February 13, 2024 by Prasanna

Animal Farm Essay:  George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” published in 1945 brought him worldwide fame as a writer of political allegory. Through the novel, George Orwell tells us about the problems of the Russian revolution (1917) and the rise to power of Joseph Stalin and its oppressive communist state.

One of the main ideas of the novel is about the abuse of power. The phrase ‘power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Power often leads to corruption. There cannot be equality under totalitarian rule.

Long Essay on Animal Farm 500 Words in English

Long Essay on Animal Farm is usually given to classes 7, 8, 9, and 10.

The novel starts by introducing us to a setting where one night all the animals at Mr Jones Manor Farm gather together to hear old Major an old – well-respected boar pig’s dream.

He described that all animals should be free from the tyranny of their human masters. They should all start an uprising against Mr Jones and other human beings. After that meeting, old Major died.

The philosophy of animalism inspired all the animals of the farm: the plot starts with the main two characters of the novel two pigs, Napoleon and Snowball are successful in doing so, and a revolution occurs, and Mr Jones and his men from the farm. Initially, the rebellion is a huge success, and the animal farm prospers.

Pigs, because of their intelligence, became the supervisors of the farm. Napoleon emerges as a greedy, selfish influential leader. Napoleon would steal the cow’s milk and apples to feed himself and other pigs, and he had even entrusted Squealer, a pig with the ability to pursue other animals that pigs are always morally correct. They had to justify the action and decision of Napoleon. There was a fight between Napoleon and Snowball fought to gain power and influence over the farm. Napoleon then emerges as the leader of the farm, and his lust for power increases to a point where he became a dictator.

Napoleon himself led a luxurious life in Mr Jone’s house, and the other animals of the farm led a harsh life, and they received less and less food, while the pigs grew fatter. Years passed, and the animal farm expanded its boundaries more and more after Napoleon purchased fields from neighbouring farm.

Napoleon and the pigs rewrite the written and oral histories of the farm in addition to the slogans, songs, commandments and poems to serve their needs and maintain their authority. The pigs’ catchphrases brainwashed the other animals to such an extent that even if the dogs kill dozens of animals to supposedly having conspired with Snowball, no one questions Napoleon’s leadership.

Many readers believe that Orwell tried to show Animal Farm as an influence of the Russian revolution due to the naming of the pigs, the story’s plot and the condition of the farm. The pig experiences different types of struggles in the story. One of the conflicts is separating the pigs from the rest of the animals, which represents a large-scale man vs culture conflict on the farm, and these explain how oppression arises from manipulation. The conflicts are solved by Napoleon’s deception, cruelty and deviousness.

Essay on Animal Farm

Short Essay on Animal Farm 150 Words in English

Short Essay on Animal Farm is usually given to classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Through the novel, the writer George Orwell conveys the message of how selfish, political leaders work only for their vested interests and consolidate power, and take away the civil and political rights of the people.

Ignorance and uneducated masses can be easily manipulated, oppressed and controlled under an authoritarian rule. The characters of the novel reflect the political figure of the time and the unjust and oppressive regime of Stalin.

Most of the events in the story have some significance with the Russian revolution (1917). Through ‘Animal Farm’ George Orwell tells us that in communism, most of the political leader misused their excessive power and that corruption may turn into violence as it was in the animal farm.

In the same way in the novel, Napoleon misused his power, cheated the animals and deprived them of their freedom and welfare and invaded the laws just as it happened in the then Soviet Union under the leadership of Stalin.
