ANIMAL FARM by George Orwell
Personification is a huge part of Animal Farm. The animals all act like humans, which is what personification is - giving human qualities to non-human things. EXAMPLE 1 “The pigs could already read as well as write perfectly.” This is a classic example of the assignment of human characteristics to animals, i.e. writing and reading. Whereas in real life, animals can’t read or write. Further, we have the animals acting like humans for most part of the book including their ability to plan, talk and relate in an extraordinary way. EXAMPLE 2 ''the animals trying to over throw the humans of the farm'' this is another example of personification. |
NIGHT by Elie Wiesel
He uses personification, giving inanimate objects human characteristics. In "Night," not only are the Nazis evil, but the whole world seems to have turned bad: EXAMPLE 1 Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. ''The race towards death had begun." This personification is meant to indicate how quickly death befell the Jews. EXAMPLE 2 ''Every glance he gave me held a of hope.” – This described the way that the doctor looked at Elie. It gave him hope. |
The novel Animal Farm is a great masterpiece in personification and symbols. The author George Orwell gives us another perspective of the problems that power, greed and evil brings to a government. Using personification the author tells us an important fact about the communism and other types of government. In this story Mr. Jones the owner of the farm is in danger of losing his farm. The animals are planning a rebellion against humans because they are treating them bad. Old major the oldest animal and the wisest organize all of it. When Old Major dies Snowball, Napoleon and Squealer take the lead of everything because the pigs where consider the most intelligent animals in the farm. After that Napoleon takes the head of the government they call animal-ism.
