Have you ever felt like your government was lying to you? Hiding things, changing things behind your back, or convincing you that they never said things that you distinctly remember them saying? In the book Animal Farm by 20th-century British author George Orwell, many farm animals felt the same way. They also suspected the honesty of their leaders, but like most members of society, when leaders make excuses or explain their reasoning, citizens believe or forgive them almost immediately. Most of society prefers to be treated as a faceless person, preferring to let someone lead and control them so they don't have to make big economic choices on their own, but what most people don't consider not, is that when you grant someone the power to rule a district, also grant the power to control the people of that district. No matter how bad we feel, society will believe the lies and turn its head toward injustices if the person responsible has a good enough excuse. It is no secret that humanity is easily persuaded and exploited by its dignitaries. Shortly after Jones' expulsion, commandments and rules were put in place to bring order to Animal Farm, but the guidelines were not followed by all of the animals on the farm. After Jones was kicked out of the farm, the animals decided to explore the farm. After exploring the house, “a unanimous resolution was passed on the spot that the farm should be preserved as a museum. All agreed that no animal should ever live there” (p. 23). Everyone on the farm agreed that no animal would ever live in that house, but months later, no one made a fuss when the pigs took it upon themselves to erase that rule . "It was about this time that...... middle of paper ... brutes, too ignorant to realize what was happening..." (p. 123) allowed themselves to be deceived once again by pigs. Throughout the book we see stories of the pigs' manipulation of the farm animals. Without the animals, the pigs would never have risen to power, but they let their power go to their heads, lied and mistreated animals to get what they wanted. The beasts had several opportunities to revolt against the pigs, but for some reason they turned their heads towards injustice and ignored their sense of reason and logic, perhaps they were afraid of having to lead, maybe they were just too naive to see it. , or maybe they really believed the lies. Whatever their reasoning, we see the same things in human society, and George Orwell does a great job of showing us the extent to which society is willing to turn its head toward injustice and consent to being exploited by a higher power..
