- 1665: Animal Farm As Animal Satire
- ... author Peter Davison points out that, besides Orwell's experience in Spain, Animal Farm "originated from the incident that suggested its genre: the little boy driving a huge cart-horse, which could easily overwhelm the child had realised its own strength."(Davison, 1996, p.125) Shortly after he published Animal Farm, Orwell (1947) in his essay titled "Why I Write" wrote about his goals in writing his book: Animal Farm was ... As it can be expected the satirist, writing satire, expose himself to counter-attacks by those who attacked. Richard (1976 )says: this danger becomes the greater, the more the writer is committed to invective and abuse.

The birth of Pearl, their child, saddened Arthur tremendously because he knows he can not hug his child, kiss her, or even raise her. The Reverend is always holding his hand over his heart because he feels weak and helpless. The scaffold is the only place he has to "speak" the truth. ...

In fact, the room they stay in used to be a nursery, and has child-safe bars on the windows, making her seem even more like a child and a prisoner.
