💭 The central conflict of Animal Farm arises when the animals’ desire for freedom and equality is corrupted by the consolidation of political power amongst the pigs. The animals’ original goal is expressed in the first chapter, in Old Major’s teachings and especially in “Beasts of England,” the song that becomes the anthem of Animal Farm. At the beginning of the novella, political power is embodied by the farmer, Mr. Jones, who indulges himself while the animals starve. The animals win easily when they rebel against Mr. Jones, and as a result they make the mistake of thinking they have overcome political power itself. In reality they have only overcome one of the forms that political power can take. By the end of Chapter 2, when Napoleon steals the cows’ milk, the political power becomes embodied by the pigs.

💭 Chapters 2 –7 trace the development of the pigs’ power, and the other animals’ growing awareness that they have not achieved their goal after all. The pigs—and Napoleon in particular—come to embody political power in three ways. First, they claim more and more of the farms’ resources for themselves. They start by stealing milk and apples, then eventually sell animal products to buy human luxuries like whisky. Second, the pigs become more violent, introducing the dog police force and ordering executions. Third, the pigs claim the power to determine what truth is. Squealer changes the Commandments of Animalism and the story of the Battle of the Cowshed. Meanwhile, the animals slowly come to realize that their lives are no better than they were before the Rebellion.

💭 The original title of the novel was Animal Farm: A Fairy Story, but US publishers dropped the subtitle, when it was published in 1946, and only one of the translations, during Orwell's lifetime, the Telugu version, kept it. Other title variations include subtitles like "A Satire" and "A Contemporary Satire". Orwell suggested the title Union des républiques socialistes animales for the French translation, which abbreviates to URSA, the Latin word for "bear,” a symbol of Russia. It also played on the French name of the Soviet Union, Union des républiques socialistes soviétiques.
Orwell wrote the book between November 1943 and February 1944, when the United Kingdom was in its wartime alliance with the Soviet Union against Nazi Germany, and the British intelligentsia held Stalin in high esteem, a phenomenon Orwell hated.

💭 The manuscript was initially rejected by several British and American publishers, including one of Orwell's own, Victor Gollancz, which delayed its publication. It became a great commercial success when it did appear, as international relations and public opinion were transformed as the wartime alliance gave way to the Cold War.

Fever- Joachim Pastor

🎸Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever
You give me fever
هرگز نخواهى فهميد چقدر عاشقت هستم
هرگز نخواهى فهميد چقدر بهت اهميت ميدم
وقتى دستانت را دورم ميندازى
وجودم رو تب ميگيره، تحملش خيلى سخته
تو وجودم رو تبدار ميكنى

🎸Sun lights up the daytime
And moon lights up the night
Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
Romeo loved Juliet
And Juliet she felt the same
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right
You give me fever
نور خورشيد روزهامون رو روشن ميكنه
و نور ماه شبهامون رو مهتابى ميكنه
كاپيتان اسميت و پكوهانتز
ديوونه وار عاشق هم بودن
رومئو عاشق جوليت بود
و جوليت هم همين حس رو بهش داشت
وقتى اسمم رو صدا ميزنى دنيام نورانى ميشه
تو ميدونى من باهات خوب رفتار ميكنم
تو وجودم رو تبدار ميكنى

🎸Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade
They give you fever
حالا كه به داستانم گوش كردى
اين نكته ايه كه ميخواستم بگم
دخترها هم به دنيا اومدند
تا وجودت رو تبدار كنند
چه با فارنهايت چه سانتيگراد
اونها وجودت رو تبدار ميكنند

💭Although Blake was considered mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic views, he came to be highly regarded by later critics and readers for his expressiveness and creativity, and for the philosophical and mystical undercurrents within his work. His paintings and poetry have been characterised as part of the Romantic movement and as "Pre-Romantic". A theist who preferred his own Marcionite style of theology, he was hostile to the Church of England (indeed, to almost all forms of organised religion), and was influenced by the ideals and ambitions of the French and American revolutions. Although later he rejected many of these political beliefs, he maintained an amicable relationship with the political activist Thomas Paine; he was also influenced by thinkers such as Emanuel Swedenborg. Despite these known influences, the singularity of Blake's work makes him difficult to classify. The 19th-century scholar William Michael Rossetti characterised him as a "glorious luminary", and "a man not forestalled by predecessors, nor to be classed with contemporaries, nor to be replaced by known or readily surmisable successors".
