Final Copy of Animal Farm

Although characters in Animal Farm has a way of stories to be perceived, they believe anything they are told. Animal Farm is an allegory that was based on the Russian Revolution but was told with animals. Author George Orwell wrote this book to criticize Stalin and the Russian people. In Animal Farm, Squealer uses many rhetorical strategies to convince the animals to submit to the pig's rules.
By way of example, Squealer uses rhetorical strategies to make it seem like the animals have only two choices, follow the pigs or Jones will return. Squealer uses the two choices to make Napolean preeminent to the other animals. Squealer says that "you're with us, or Jones will return". The fact that Squealer twists up stories is because he wants the animals to be on the pigs side, but if not he trying to make an excuse saying that Jones will return knowing that the animals don't like humans. In the text, he told the animals that Boxer died in the hospital but he really were sold. He just want to the animals to keep up with his lies so it can seem as though the pigs are doing the right thing. Even though Squealer were a dissimulator, he always persuade people with the lies he tell. In the allegory Animal Farm, they describe Squealer as "a brilliant talker, and when he's arguing some difficult point, he had a way of skipping side to side and whisking his tail which was somehow persuasive. They say Squealer can turn black into white." Just like in the real world, Squealer is just like Bush. Bush states that "you're with us or against us." That's similar to what Squealer trying to say. But if you are with him then it's okay, but if you're against him, you're dead. Squealer is a prevaricator but the animals are having a hard time to see.
Notably, he blames all the animals tragedies on Snowball. Squealer puts all the blame on Snowball so that the pigs can escape blame and responsibility. Everything are now blamed on Snowball. To the animals, they now see Snowball as an intruder trying to mess up their life. Like for instance, Napolean blames Snowball for knocking down the windmill but really the storm hit it. In today's society, the situation with Iraq is just like Snowball and the windmill. Bush blames an Iraq for the incident that happen with 9/11 when Osama Bin Laden really did it but he's not even from Iraq. Just like the situation Bush has, Napolean blames Snowball for knocking down the windmill, when really it was a storm. Squealer is a person who stands on other people beliefs that really don't happen.
However, Squealer make it seem that there can be no doubt that the pigs are always right. Squealer make it seem like Napolean is always right. Squealer are using one of his ways to persuade people as being a reliable man. He are trying to play as if Napolean are right about all the things he does just because he is one of the smart animals. Though some of the animals aren't literal, they don't understand that Squealer are trying to persuade them. Since Squealer is a man they believe are reliable, they wouldn't believe in such a thing. In the book, it states that all animals aren't smart besides several of them. Like usual, Bush and Squealer believes there is no doubt. Bush believes the U.S is always right. Bush doesn't want to put a better ends to the United States because he believe that the things he do in the U.S are always right never wrong. Squealer is a tricky boar.
As previously stated, the rhetorical strategies, Squealer uses to convince the animals to submit to the pigs rule. Squealer is a brilliant talker, a prevaricator, and a tricky boar. So how do the Russians feel about this situation? It matters if you stood up for your belief because close
mouths don't get fed. Just know that don't trust everything you hear, it can be false.
