Well, homeschooling in the 'Animal Farm' context could have changed the course of the story. If the animals had been homeschooled in critical thinking, they might not have been so easily swayed by the false propaganda of the pigs. They could have analyzed the situation better and perhaps created a more just and equal society on the farm, rather than the one that devolved into a dictatorship.
In 'Animal Farm', the animals initially aim for an equal society but end up in a hierarchical and corrupt one. Homeschooling, in contrast, often aims for individualized education. However, a similarity could be the self - governance aspect. In homeschooling, parents or guardians are in charge, much like the pigs who took over the governance in 'Animal Farm'. But homeschooling is about nurturing, while the pigs in the novel became tyrannical.
The main theme of Animal Farm is the corruption of power. The pigs, who initially led the revolution on the farm for equality, gradually become as tyrannical as the humans they overthrew. It shows how power can be misused and how those in power can manipulate language and rewrite history to maintain their control.
The main characters include Napoleon, a power - hungry pig who becomes the dictator on the farm. Snowball, another pig who is initially involved in leading the revolution but is later chased away by Napoleon. And Boxer, the hard - working horse who is loyal to the cause but is ultimately betrayed by the pigs.
One of the main themes is power and corruption. The pigs, especially Napoleon, gradually gain more and more power and become corrupt. Another theme is the abuse of language for control. The pigs manipulate language to justify their actions and mislead the other animals. Also, there is the theme of the failure of utopian ideals. The initial vision of an equal animal society quickly deteriorates into a dictatorship.
In many ways, it is. Animal Farm reflects modernist elements such as social commentary, unconventional structure, and a departure from traditional literary norms.
