cause of Dukkha is Tanha. In this paper, I will discuss the cause of our suffering, why we suffer so much, and how to end it through the eightfold noble path. I will be focusing particularly on Tanha. The concept of Tanha is first introduced in the Four Noble Truths which are first, that everything in life is Dukkha or suffering (pg. 344). The second noble truth is that “of the origin of suffering,” which is craving or Tanha (pg. 346). The third noble truth is that “of the cessation of suffering”

symbolize tyrannical, Soviet Russian leaders and other animals to represent the working class, Orwell demonstrates valuable lessons. "'Four legs good, two legs bad!

Bleating at tense moments causes other animals

The Hell of Nineteen Eighty-Four. ). Did Orwell realise quite what he had done in Nineteen Eighty-Four? His post-publication glosses on its meaning reveal either blankness or bad faith even about its contemporary political implications.

Animal Farm Journal “Propaganda is as powerful as heroin; it surreptitiously dissolves all capacity to think.” (Courtemanche) I think in this quote Gil Courtemanche is stating that propaganda is so powerful that it can easily corrupt people’s minds and change the way they think and their view on things. I agree with Courtemanche’s statement because propaganda can take away people’s ability to think for themselves and can cause people to believe in a distorted truth. For instance, propaganda was
