http://coolblue.typepad.com/photos/discover_jazz_festival/sgt_band_leader.jpg* what is the major theme of this novel? why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2007?
I think the theme of this novel shows the corrupted past in Soviet Union, and the usage of language as a tool to gain power. If you look at the politicians, they always lie but grantee that everything will be fine if we follow their ways. The governments use propaganda and great speeches for people to listen to them. That is how Squealer persuaded other animals to believe him. Who says that languages are for communication? It’s a weapon that can change people for eternity into the false stereotype. This theme is very important to a teenager living in 2007 because teenagers are surrounded by the voices of peer pressure, Media and the “obligations” from the society. They should be stable and seek the truth for their own safety and survival in this world. The society is corrupting the world by brainwashing the teenagers of what is right and what it wrong. If we are given some options and choices, then we have a right to use it and do what is right for us. We have our own voices and other people would have to listen and respect, instead neglecting it like Napoleon or should I say the leaders all over the world. Teenagers living in 2007 are the future members of the society. People would have to set up a good example for us the lead the world later on. I don’t want my future leader to be on his or her way to get power but really wanting people to be happy.
