Explains core concepts of fables as layered texts, highlighting allegory, satire, and the way animal characters symbolize people, ideas, and social dynamics. Covers historical background from Russian class conflict to the rise of communism, and presents major themes such as freedom, language as power, deception, fear, hope, and corruption of power, plus key characters tied to real-world figures.","(1903-1950)\nReal Name: Eric Blair\nBritish Political Novelist\nBorn:  To English parents in India\nAfter his father retired, George and his family moved back to England.\nHe was sent to boarding school at the age of eight to prepare for Eton, an exclusive prep school.\nBecause he had a scholarship, he was teased and humiliated frequently.\nAt eighteen, he passed the Empire’s \u000bCivil Service Exam and became a police officer in Burma.\n1927\nReturned in Europe\nHe chose to live in poverty\nbecause he felt guilty for\nthe job he had\ndone in Burma -\nfor having been a\npart of an oppressive government.\nHe saw poverty\nas a way to\nunderstand the\nproblems of the\noppressed and helpless\nby becoming\none of them.\nOrwell was a Socialist\nSocialist:  someone who believes that the government should own businesses so that everyone will be equal\nTwo Things That\nInfluenced Orwell\nTo Write\nAnimal Farm:\nHis hatred for:\nInjustice\nPolitical Lying\nHe desired a society\nin which separate classes\nwould not exist.\nIt's a Fable\nMost fables have two levels of meaning. On the surface, the fable is about animals. But on a second level, the animals stand for types of people or ideas. The way the animals interact and the way the plot unfolds says something about the nature of people or the value of ideas.\nThe Fable\nThe fable is one of the oldest literary forms - much, much older than the novel or the short story.\nThe earliest fables still preserved date back to 6th Century Greece B.C.E. The author of these fables, Aesop, used animal characters to stand for human \"types.\"\nThough Aesop's animal fables were about animals, they were really instructional tales about human emotions and human behavior.\nThe Fox and the Crow\nA fox was walking through the forest when he saw a crow sitting on a tree branch with a fine piece of cheese in her beak. The fox wanted the cheese and decided he would be clever enough to outwit the bird.\u000b\u000b\"What a noble and gracious bird I see in the tree!\" proclaimed the fox, \"What exquisite beauty! What fair plumage! If her voice is as lovely as her beauty, she would no doubt be the jewel of all birds.\"\nThe crow was so flattered by all this talk that she opened her beak and gave a cry to show the fox her voice.\n\"Caw! Caw!\" she cried, as the cheese dropped to the ground for the fox to grab.\nLesson: Beware of flattery.\nIt's an Allegory\nAny type of fiction that has multiple levels of meaning is called an allegory.\nAllegory is a literary device in which characters or events in a literary, visual, or musical art form represent or symbolize ideas or concepts.\nThe Boy Who Cried Wolf\nThe prankster of a boy learns his lesson as he fooled his\nneighbors not once but twice that a wolf had threatened to\nattack him and his flock of sheep. The concerned\nneighborhood stormed out of their homes to bail the boy out\nof trouble only to realize they have been bamboozled! When\nthe wolf in actuality comes to attack, the boy’s cries for help\nare rendered futile and the people feign deafness.\nOn the surface: a boy’s prank goes wrong\nWhat lies beneath: a lesson about the danger of lies!\nIt's a Satire\nA composition making fun of something, usually political.\nAnimal Farm makes fun of political society after the Bolshevik Revolution.\nHistorical Context\nRussian society in the early twentieth century had two social classes:  a tiny minority (bourgeoisie) controlled the country’s wealth.\nThe working class was called the proletariat.\nCommunism arose in Russia when the nation’s workers & peasants rebelled against and overwhelmed the wealthy and powerful class of capitalists & aristocrats.\nThis was based\non Karl Marx and his\nThe call for\naction was . . .\nTsar Nicholas II,\nmonarch of Russia,\nwas forced\nto abdicate\nthe throne.\nHis daughter,\nAnastasia, was\nlost.\nLenin, a Russian\nrevolutionary,\ntook power\nin the name of\nthe\nCommunist\nParty.\nWhen Lenin died,\nJoseph Stalin &\nLeon Trotsky\ncompeted for\ncontrol of the\nSoviet Union.\nStalin banished\nTrotsky &\ntook control.\nHe began his\nbrutal killings,\n","cbCaijfheKzGP3U0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijfheKzGP3U0","ppt",1431040,1,37,"English","en",105,"# Orwell and Why He Wrote Animal Farm\n## Orwell’s Life and Socialist Ideas\n## Two Influences on Orwell\n# What Is a Fable?\n## Two Levels of Meaning\n# Allegory and Satire\n## Allegory Definition\n## Satire Definition\n# Historical Context\n## Russian Social Classes and Revolution\n## Power Struggles and Consequences\n# Themes and Characters\n## Major Themes\n## Key Characters","[{\"question\":\"What influences shaped Orwell’s decision to write Animal Farm?\",\"answer\":\"Orwell’s hatred for injustice and political lying influenced his writing.
