The Theme (Animal Farm) #1


What is the major theme of this novel? why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2007?
There are several major themes in this novel, however, what I think it is most important theme is that language or the words that come from your mouth is to control other people, meaning since man are selfish and have pride, they want to control or have people under us. Moreover, by language, it makes other people think in different way and do something that are actually good for me. In the book, “Animal Farm” the pigs got power after Major had died, moreover, pigs became selfish of themselves and played with words and had more power over the whole animal, had nevertheless, they became like humans who wanted everything for their own benefits. So, the theme is, by we should not change other people’s decisions or their visuals on the world by twisting the meanings of the words that you use. For now day’s example, we often do it when we give peer pressure in a bad way where we know it is bad but by twisting the meaning, we try to show only the good parts. This theme is important because since the technology is developed than the past, we have more ways to communicate with other people, such as friends and people we even don’t know. Moreover, we often use words to control other people. For example, we act nicely to others so that they will do something for me. Since teenagers living in 2007 had already experienced and it always happens, it should stop. The universal truth is that no body likes to follow other people’s order unless they respect them. However, they want others to follow their orders. So, they twist words to make them follow. Moreover, that is starting to happen from period of teenagers. Moreover, if we could prevent it from period of teenagers, we could not have this problem when we get older. So, the theme is we should not be twisting words to control other people and it is important for teenagers living in 2007 because they are already twisting words and it should be prevented. That’s why it is important for teenagers.
