Animal Farm (Movie) Vs. Animal Farm (Book) Essay, Research Paper

Like all books, Animal Farm, the book, is different from Animal Farm,

the movie. One of the reasons is the characters. Some of the characters

that were in the book were not in the movie. Those were characters like

Mr. Whymper, Clover, and Mollie (who was only shown in part of the

movie). In the movie, Jessie, the dog that was only mentioned in the

first chapter, replaced Clover. Jessie narrated the story, was the main

character, and was in the story the entire time.

Some of the events that were in the book were not shown or did not happen

in the movie. These were events like the bank note forgeries and some

of the things that Squealer said to them like how he convinced them

to let the pigs use the apples and milk in their mash. They did not

even mention this event in the story. Other things that they did not

even mention in the movie were the Sunday meetings and something they

didn?t mention in the book was Napoleon?s addiction to whiskey. One of

the main events in the book that were not shown in the movie was the

battle where Boxer split his hoof. The only two battles that happened

were the Rebellion and the Battle of Cowshed. One event that happened in

the movie that did not happen in the book was when Squealer took Jones?

camera equipment and used it to speak to the animals.

Another different thing about the story was when the events took

place. They showed the pigs walking on their hind legs after they showed

when Jessie couldn?t tell the difference between the humans and the pigs.

One of the last things that were different about the movie was the

ending. It didn?t end with Jessie not being able to tell the difference

between the humans and the pigs. After that, Jessie took Benjamin and a

few other animals with her to escape. They came back a few years later

after Napoleon died. The farm?s new owners were coming and Jessie and

her puppies came to live on the farm again.
