          Since the dawn of time, people had to find a way to share what they were thinking. Then, they invented the language. The language is well known how as a way to communicate ideas, and it can be used in differents forms (as a discourse, as power, to deal. etc). In this case, I am going to connect some ideas of the language as power and the book "Animal farm".

         In the book animal farm, we can see several times how the language change the mind of the animals and how the discourse of the one of the antagonists "Squealer" go deeper in terms of convincing his comrades to follow what Napoleon said. The importance of the language as power in this book is hugely important since pigs could not have manipulated the rest of the animals without their powerful discourse. It is a fact that the language gave the pigs be free to manage the farm in the way that they wanted, and it is necessary to say that they did it in a wrong way.

      Concluding, the language can be used in differents ways, and in this specific case, it had a bad use. Therefore, It is good to use the language to improve and evolve as society or community, but it must be done in a good way.
