Animal Farm (1 Viewer)

Hey guys, I know that I'm only in Yr10 and thus this thread should probs be somewhere else, but the best English people frequent this place more. So, anyways, can anyone tell me how the use of anthropomorphism in Animal Farm allows the readers to relate to them?

I am assuming you know what 'anthropomorphism' is. Obviously, Orwell's 'Animal Farm' explores the idea of dictatorship. It criticises socialism and is in a sense, a satire of the Russian Revolution. Back to the point, clearly anthropomorphism allows the reader to engage, giving animals in the text a sense of human in them through characteristics such as the change in the manners of the pigs. By doing so, interest is stemmed in the audience through a relation between the animal and human.

Thank you. Are you also familiar with A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift?

I did this at the start of Year 11. Don't bother with it.

It's worth 20% of my class mark , which I always fail at. Anyone know what techniques Swift uses apart from satire?

Swift uses irony, satirical tone, cumulative listing, rhetorical questions and imagery etc in a modest proposal. there are heaps of techniques - i studied it last year.
