Animalistic Society

Inspired by George Orwell’s Animal Farm, use animals to represent different groups of people in a particular setting, and examine the power dynamics, conflict, and cooperation that exist.

Orwell’s Animal Farm is a tale about power, corruption, and social structure presented through anthropomorphized animals. In your narrative, consider using animals as metaphors for different classes or groups within a society – such as your school, workplace, or neighborhood. What kind of conflicts or alliances would arise? How would you represent the shifting power dynamics?
