Lesson outcome

I can explain why Orwell has made specific choices about structure and style.

Show transcript
Orwell uses a simple and detached style to get his message across. Orwell uses and subverts the conventions of a fairy tale. Old Major’s speech foreshadows the events of the novel. Orwell uses the seasons to show the passing of time and the deterioration of the animals’ living conditions. 'Animal Farm' has a cyclical structure to reflect the cycle of oppression and the inevitability of hierarchy.
