2024-03-12 15:37:46 UTC

Matthew: The Pig's Control

2024-03-12 15:39:22 UTC

In both the movie and the book, the pigs are oppressive to the other animals.

Hayden - Film Contrast

2024-03-12 15:39:30 UTC

In the film Napoleon doesn't care about Boxer's death. He just shrugged and continued to eat. In the film as well Napoleon is found to be in the house a lot just sitting there eating or doing other things, but in the book there isn't much actually said about Napoleon and what he occupies his time with.

Thomas: Boxer CONTRAST

Bennett: Similarities: Mr Jones

2024-03-12 15:40:59 UTC

2024-03-12 15:41:23 UTC

In the film, Boxer is sent off to be killed in a cart that the narrator labels, 'Mr. Whymper's Glue Factory.' In the book, Boxer is sent to a knacker, not Mr. Whymper's glue factory.

2024-03-12 15:42:10 UTC

In the movie, the cart that took Boxer away to the glue factory was owned by Mr. Whymper, and in the book it doesn't specify who owns it.

More detailed parts are shown and elaborated on, but also sometimes changed, such as the destroying of the windmill. Also, scenes like the killing of the traitors cannot be shown because of the rating.

Matthew: Squealer's Speech

2024-03-12 15:42:36 UTC

In the book, the other animals believed Squealer's speech, but int the movie, they all didn't believed a single bit of it.

Shayla: Characters - Contrast/Book

2024-03-12 15:43:57 UTC

The book went in depth describing all of the individual characters. Every character was written to have a deep meaning and back story that contributed to the text.

Hayden - Book Contrast

2024-03-12 15:44:06 UTC

In the book it is never mentioned about the fence that is put around Manor Farm. In the movie there is a barbed wire fence around the farm, and the two guard dogs sitting at the entrance.

Noah: Contrast: After boxer's death

2024-03-12 15:44:19 UTC

In the book, it does not fully tell readers that the pigs used the money from boxer's death to buy more alcohol. In the movie it fully told us that they used him to buy whiskey.

Grayson Contrast in book

2024-03-12 15:45:07 UTC

Benjamin is not shown too much in the book while in the movie Benjamin is more of a main character. He is a lot more outspoken and is seen like a leader of the animals

Noah: The Pigs: compare

2024-03-12 15:45:32 UTC

In the book and movie, the pigs are seen walking on two legs and changing the commandments.

Josie: Snowball and the dogs (Contrast)

2024-03-12 15:46:55 UTC

In the book it is alluded to the fact that Snowball is just chased out of Animal Farm, however in the movie it is depicted that he is killed by Napoleons dogs.

Thomas Marrero: Compare Pigeons.

In both the movie and the book the pigeons are used to take messages all across the land to other farms.

Bennett: Book Contrast: Humans

In the book, "Animal Farm," the pigs are friends with the humans, however, no humans appear in the end of the movie.

Shayla: Benjamin - Contrast/Movie

2024-03-12 15:47:36 UTC

It was shown time and time again in the movie that Benjamin spoke out when he saw something wrong going on in the farm. Unlike the book where he stayed quiet.

Grayson Similarities

2024-03-12 15:48:07 UTC

The characteristic of the animals and major plot points are almost identical. This includes the leadership of the pigs and important battles.

Bennett: Film Contrast: Second Rebellion

2024-03-12 15:48:44 UTC

In the film, Napoleon is overthrown by the animals. This is completely different than the end of the book which had the pigs being like humans. This shows that the film was more about overthrowing tyranny, and not instead the dangers of communism.

Leah: Squealer's spread of propaganda (compare)

2024-03-12 15:48:51 UTC

In both the book and the movie, Napoleon uses Squealer to promote himself and to calm the animals, even if that means telling lies straight to their faces. Squealer is constantly saying how wonderful Napoleon is even when that's incorrect.

Molly- Boxer's death: contrast

2024-03-12 15:49:12 UTC

In the book, Boxer died when we moved too heavy of a rock up the hill and in the movie he died by lifting a rock onto the windmill. Boxer also was sent to a knacker in the book whereas the movie shows he went to 'Mr Whymper's Glue Factory'.

Thomas Marrero: Contrast end of the story

2024-03-12 15:49:24 UTC

While in the book both humans and pigs gather together it is just the pigs from other farms, and in the movie the animals rebel again against the pigs while in the book they just continue in their way of live with napoleon as the ruler.

Shayla: Similarities

2024-03-12 15:49:47 UTC

The timelines of the book and movie mirrored each other almost perfectly. Especially when Napoleon said the rebellion was over and no need to sing Beasts of England.

Ben Allen Setting:

2024-03-12 15:50:05 UTC

The setting is a lot different than I thought it was going to be. Under a drunk poor Mr. Jones the house and the farm itself was really nice and well taken care of.

Ben E- Similarites

2024-03-12 15:50:20 UTC

Something I found similar was the mistreatment from Mr. Jones, in both the movie and text he treats them badly.

Hayden - Contrast

2024-03-12 15:50:24 UTC

In the film the farm is never said to be changed from Manor Farm, to Animal Farm, and then back to Manor Farm. It just stays as Animal farm.

Josie: Similarities

2024-03-12 15:50:29 UTC

In both the book and the movie the characters remain similar to how they were originally written. An example of this is that Boxer is still extremely hardworking and Napoleon still remains on his corrupt path for power.

Jack: Characters

2024-03-12 15:50:32 UTC

In the movie, all of the characters have the same traits that they did in the book.

Ben E-Contrast

2024-03-12 15:51:32 UTC

In the book it goes into more detail and closes in on the smaller stuff more. The movie it goes pretty fast and does not stop to follow every story from the farm.

Jack: Visualization

2024-03-12 15:51:38 UTC

The movie provides greater detail using picture from what the book was trying to convey through words.

Danny: Reaction to Battle of the Windmill (Contrast Book)

2024-03-12 15:53:14 UTC

In the novel, the animals are originally shaken by the collapse of the windmill and the bloodshed of the battle, but are picked up and become satisfied with their victory after Squealer's speech. However, the movie depicts the animals as sullen and upset, even after Squealer's speech.

Penelope-Similarities-Pigs Ending

2024-03-12 15:53:28 UTC

In both the film and the movie the animals saw the pigs and they couldn't tell if they were humans or pigs.

Ben E-Compare

2024-03-12 15:53:34 UTC

In the book Squealer is looked into a lot closer. I feel like in the movie they did not go into as much detail and he wasn't used as much. In the book he is a main character in the corruption of the farm with his propaganda.

Ben Allen Contrast:

2024-03-12 15:53:47 UTC

The book had a lot more detail than the movie (as expected), but in the book we delved more into the personalities of characters, like in the movie we really only saw Napoleon, whearas in the book we saw how truly evil he was.

Molly- Timeline: compare

2024-03-12 15:54:19 UTC

In both the allegory and the film, the timeline was the same. It started with Jones' expulsion, then over time it showed Napoleon's gain of power. The other animals on the farm still worked as they did in the book and they followed the same story.

Ishaan: The end of the film (contrast movie)

2024-03-12 15:54:58 UTC

In the book, it ended when the animals saw the pigs look like humans, but in the movie, it ended when the animals from all of the farms joined together and overthrew the pigs.

Penelope-Contrast-Hard Worker

2024-03-12 15:55:36 UTC

In the book Boxer is the only one who works extra shifts, while in the movie Boxer and Benjamin work extra.

Hannah: Contrast Movie- Benjamin's Role in the Movie

2024-03-12 15:55:50 UTC

In the book, Benjamin played the role of an extra. We knew he worked like the other animals, but in the movie he played a pivotal role. He worked the same amount as Boxer and he also led the revolution to tear down Napoleon's reign.

Evie- Contrast

2024-03-12 15:55:57 UTC

In the book, Benjamin is a neutral character, his attitude is 'been there done that', but in the movie, after Boxer's death, Benjamin becomes a main character and incites the animals to take a stand.

Ben Allen Compare:

2024-03-12 15:56:18 UTC

Squeler is used in book as the main form of propaganda and it is the same thing in the movie. He is really the only pig after Snowballs death that talks to the animals.

Josie: movie contrast

2024-03-12 15:57:46 UTC

In the movie it shows that Boxer is sent to "Mr Whympers glue factory," however, in the book it states that he is sent to the knacker. This directly contrasts what happens in the book.

Penelope-Contrast-Boxers Death

2024-03-12 15:58:32 UTC

In the book Boxer's lung gives out from working too hard and he becomes unable to work and ends up dying. While in the movie he is working hard but ends up dropping a rock on himself causing his death.

Emma- Ending Contrast

2024-03-12 15:58:52 UTC

In the book The animals look through the window where the pigs are partying and say they can't tell the difference between the humans and the pigs. However, in the movie these feelings are taken a step further as the animals planed and attacked, overthrowing the pigs in the movie.

Ishaan: the uprising against Jones (compare similarities)

2024-03-12 15:59:34 UTC

They were mainly the same, thew threw out Jones and he came back later. Also it was fast and sudden just like the book

Samie Contrast

2024-03-12 15:59:44 UTC

In the film, Snowball is shown, or rather heard to be killed, while in the book, it is said that he escaped and was in hiding and his death was never confirmed.

Leah: Important details throughout the book (contrast book)

2024-03-12 16:00:40 UTC

Throughout the book, we get much more in-depth looks into each character. With the dogs, we learn how they gave up their puppies (didn't die) to Napoleon. With all the animals, we got a deeper understanding of their education. With Mollie, we were able to see that she left the farm for specific reasons. There are many more examples of those details that were included in the book but left out of the movie.

Ishaan: The meeting at the end (Contrast George Orwell's Book)

2024-03-12 16:01:01 UTC

In the book, the pigs at animal from were meeting with the other farms which were owned by humans. In the movie, they met with pig leaders from other farms, suggesting that other farms had an uprising as well.

Evie- Similarities

2024-03-12 16:01:10 UTC

At the end of the movie, the pigs are celebrating the success of their reign. The way the movie displays it is different than the book, but the pigs are shown in both blending with the men, and Benjamin sees them as Mr. Jones.

Fia: Contrast Animal Farm Film

2024-03-12 18:31:22 UTC

In the film the animals rarely say words we can understand. They usually just snort or bark and made animal noises.

Fia: Compare

2024-03-12 18:33:16 UTC

In both the film and book, Benjamin notices that the van that comes to get boxer isn't actually a hospital van and is actually a horse slaughterer.

Lucy: Similarities

2024-03-12 18:34:16 UTC

The events in the book were all shown in the movie in order, and the animals had the same traits they did in the book.

Fia: Contrast Animal Farm Book

2024-03-12 18:37:06 UTC

At the end of the book the animals just watch Napoleon slowly turn into a man while in the movie then animals actually stand up and overthrow Napoleon.

Lucy: Boxer's injury (movie contrast)

2024-03-12 18:38:05 UTC

In the movie, Boxer was injured when he was building the windmill and a rock fell and hit him. In the book he was injured when his lungs gave out.

Lucy: Smaller details (book contrast)

2024-03-12 18:40:33 UTC

In the book there were several small details that were left out of the movie, specifically Mollie. In the movie, we didn't see her a lot, so we didn't see why she left the farm.

Hannah: Contrast Book- Relationship with Humans

2024-03-12 18:44:56 UTC

In the book, the pigs have a special bond with the humans. The end of the book is a scene when the pigs are playing cards with the humans, but in the movie, the pigs are drinking with the other pigs.

Hannah: Similarities- The Windmill

2024-03-12 18:47:23 UTC

In both the book and the movie, Snowball invented the ideas of the windmill, and Napoleon followed through. The windmill is blown up by dynamite in both the movie and the text, and the animals have to toil once more. The windmill was the cause of Boxer's death too.

Samie Compare

2024-03-12 18:53:42 UTC

In both the film and book, Boxer is led into a van disguised as a vet but is in reality a horse euthanizer ordered by Napoleon. In both versions this happened after he was severly injuried, and in both his friends tried to save him and tell him about the van but it was to late.

Evie- Contrast

2024-03-13 03:25:00 UTC

In the book, Napoleon is only mentioned when he leaves the house to parade around the farm. However, in the movie, Napoleon and the other pigs are shown in the farmhouse eating and participating in leisurely activities like tic-tac-toe

Samuel: Contrast - First Destruction of the Windmill - Animal Farm Novel

2024-03-13 21:09:52 UTC

In the book, the windmill is first knocked over by a storm, while in the movie, it is only destroyed once. In the book, this is an important development, as it marks the first time that Napoleon blames Snowball for the troubles of the people, an occurrence that becomes quite common throughout the book. This does not happen in the movie version however, and the windmill is destroyed by Mr. Jones.

Samuel: Contrast - Boxer's Outlook - Animal Farm Film

2024-03-13 21:23:25 UTC

In the novel version of Animal Farm, Boxer constantly remains faithful that Napoleon is making the best decisions for the other animals. In the film however, Boxer sometimes acted with indignation at the self-serving nature of the pigs.

Samuel: Compare - The Deterioration of Ideals

2024-03-13 21:27:28 UTC

In both the novel and film, the ideals of Animalisim rapidly deteriorate in service of the pigs own goals.

Ashton Contrast: George Orwell's Book

2024-03-14 23:26:20 UTC

In the book, the pig's production of alcohol was shown, unlike in the film. This aspect further displays how their pigs went out of the way for something that was against the rules of the animal farm.

Ashton Compare

2024-03-14 23:34:19 UTC

In both the film and the book, the theme of the pigs resorting back to the negative human-like traits that they originally worked to break away from is shown. This shows the main theme of Animal Farm: the danger of communism and that those in control always resort back to greed despite the system put in place.

Ashton Contrast: Animal Farm Film

2024-03-14 23:39:39 UTC

In the Animal Farm film, at the end, different farms's animals rallied together to overthrow the dictator-like pigs. unlike in the book, where a satisfying conclusion was not given, but instead one where the pigs stay in power.
