  • Essay / How are animals treated on Animal Farm - 1143

    This is shown in the novel because the animals learn to read and write, the farm had a voting system and the seven commandments. To begin with, in chapter 3, the animals were learning to read and write, this was to teach the younger animals who were introduced later in the novel and then they could develop their education and so on, until that all animals begin to behave like humans because of the way they acted and performed their tasks. Secondly, the animals were forced to vote for a leader, which is what every human being over the age of 18 must do, because they must vote for a leader to rule our country, this is shown in the novel, where Napoleon is elected leader and then takes control of the farm as a leader would. Finally, in chapter 2, there were rules made by the leaders of the farm, these rules are just like the laws of our society because we have to follow the laws to not hurt you, if we break any of these rules, we are punished. this is what happens in the novel as any animal found breaking any of the seven commandments receives a punishment, the punishments usually being death or no food for a period of time. It is shown in this paragraph that the animas were treated like human beings, because the things the pigs ordered them to do were very humane. The animals learned to read and write, they voted for the leader of their farm and they had commandments and rules to respect.
