what are you talking about? lord of the flies and animal farm cover completely different ground, in completely different ways. In no way are they similar. the only similarity is the century in which both were written...

[Adam]

What are you talking about? Lord of the Flies demonstrates the total opposite. Jack shows to the readers that peoples natural savage ethic will overcome any nurturing process around. He's escaped from the conditioned society and his natural genetics have determined the person he's become.

[Rebecca]

Lord of the Flies and animal farm are similar not only in the century they were written in. Look at animal farm without the parallels it has to what happened in Russia and all that. You get a group of, in this case, animals who were oppressed and overthrew the opressor to start their own society. The similarities these two literary works have:<br>*society that starts off with good intentions but ends up corrupt<br>*the theme of the Lord of the Flies, man is inherently evil also ties into animal farm.<br>*power is enticing<br>get it?<br>-rebecca

My name is Travis and I read Animal Farm for an English assignment and I think that it was an exceptional book. If you have ever read lord of the flies it has almost the same meaning. It shows how weak the human mind can really be. If something is beat into your mind enough you will start to believe it.

[Danny Wells]

Look you are rong because animal farm is a novel made to represent the russian revelution. The story is about how a bunch of animals want to over throw the bad owner and bring in the idea of animalism; which represents how the russians wanted to start a revelution and start communism. It is also saying that their way of life never changed except for their way of life.

[Nightshade]

Actuallty I think it is both!
I mean excuse me but what was the cause of the faliaure of the RR? Corruption brought on by the weakness of the human mind.

Yes on one level it is only a parrallel of the RR, but it is also has other levels where it can stand alone and brainwashing ie (stuff banged into peoples heads) is there as well as the fact that people are infact more equal than others because alythough they may all be materialisticly equal some have supirior intellect (Benjemin the donkey as compared to Clover for instantce) that makes them unequal.

Anyway despite being (whats the word opposite to wishy washy) firm if you like it my ideas I dont think books should be taken as such because the book may be about somthing completely differant that was private to Orwell and when talking about what somthing means or is about well its about differeant things to differant people that is the beauty of free interpritation.

Perhaps you should consider the idea that it is possible for a book to have more than one meaning, especially since that's what these people are comparing.

Have you ever thought that you might be wrong?

i completly agree with the fact that the two books were quit similar...n the fact that whoever posted that u were worng can only read the words on the page n not look at the book for what george orwell intened it to be. the book is simply not about a group of animals with a plan to over through the way of life which they have become so accustomed too...it represents the oppresion of of the times and how authority becomes your ultimate goal...the animals were so set upon over throwing "the system" and establish there own "better" way of life that when they finally did all they did was throw themselves back into the same position from which they had come..ulitmalty was it worth it life seemed to devolope into a much worse scenario than there former lives.. yes both were organized by a set ruler but wen they over through the first ruler life seemed to get worse...the honored and respected "animals" were now un iportant. And now the social class of every animal on the farm had a worse standing it seemed than before...
