The easy manipulation of human nature is illustrated in

“Animal Farm” The Pigs of Animal Farm repetidly abused

the animals. Because of their lask of intelligence and strength

the animals bacame victims of the pigs. The easy

manipulation of human nature is illustrated in “Animal Farm”

A. The animals weren’t strong enough to compete with the

stronger pigs. 1. Napoleon’s dogs killed many of the

animals, “the remaining animals, except for the pigs and

dogs, crept away in a body” (p. 837). 2. The pigs trained

the sheep to stop the animals from speaking, “they might

have uttered some word of protest...all the sheep burst out

into a tremendous bleating” (p. 852). 3. Mr. Pilkington said

“they have lower classes, and pigs have lower animals” (p.

854). 4. The pigs strength wasn’t the only advantage they

had over the animals. B. Many of the animals didn’t have

enough education to know what happened on the farm. 1.

Only a few animals knew the alphabet, “none of the other

animals on the farm could get further than the letter A” most

didn’t even know their names (p. 819). 2. Boxer couldn’t

remember but a few letters, “Boxer could not get beyond

the letter D” (p. 819). 3. The animals needed other animals

to read for them, “Benjamin consented to break his rule, and

he read out to her what was written” (p. 853). 4. Because of

the lack of intelligence the animals could easily be vitimized.

C. The farm animals didn’t realize they were being

manipulated. 1. Squelar claimed the farm was better off than

in Jones’s day, “he had no difficulty in proving to the other

animals that they awere better off” (p.845). 2. Boxer was

sent to the slaughterer, Squelar tricked the animals into

believing otherwise, “his little eyes darted sucpiciously” (p.

849). 3. The animals didn’t realize the pigs had changed the

commandments, “Clover had not remembered that the

fourth commandment mentioned sheets” (p. 832) 4.

Napoleon and the pigs easily tricked and lied to the animals

without their knowledge. D. The pigs from the beginning to

the end used force to overpower the farm animals. 1.

Squelars speaches and convincing arguments kept the

animals from knowing to much. 2. Training the sheep and

using other tactics left the animals powerless to stop the pigs,

as long as the pigs kept up their lies. 3. I disliked the pigs,

Napoloen showed what can happen with absolute power.
