Question 7

Are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? Or disturbing? Or memorable? Describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.

One of the important parts that consist the novel body is setting. Setting is extremely important because it helps you to understand the actions that the characters take better. In this story ‘Animal Farm,’ setting is set to be the Manor Farm or the Animal Farm after the Rebellion. Personally, I find the scene where Clover looks down, which was the hillside, most not only beautiful but also memorable. It was after the executions of the animals that kept in touch with Snowball and had been carrying out his orders; Clover became confused and scared because she thought all the animals were comrades. Therefore, she looks at the scene of the Animal Farm. The author had described beautifully that I can draw a picture in my mind. He had illustrated everything that Clover saw, rays of sunshine that shone upon the grass, the hayfield, the spinney, the drinking pool, the ploughed fields where the young wheat was thick and green, and the red roofs of the farm buildings with the smoke curling from the chimneys. It was a scene of the Animal Farm in spring. This very scene seemed most beautiful and memorable because it is such a contrast between the beauty and the evil. The contrary is that after the unfortunate and deeply saddening event of execution of the animals who obeyed the supposed traitor and a betrayer of the Animal Farm community, Snowball, and the beautiful spring scene of the Animal Farm shone wonderfully by the sunshine. It was very memorable because these two settings are totally different thus the confusion in Clover was illustrated very well.
