I need a good hook for my essay on Animal Farm, my thesis is: "How does external forces like elements of persuasion from the pigs affect the farm animals." Any suggestions?

You will first need to decide what angle you're using... external force. You can concentrate on propaganda, or more appropriately fear (external threats). Napoleon's use of the dogs for example.

Certainly! Crafting a compelling hook for your essay on "Animal Farm" can draw readers in and set the tone for your exploration of the influence of persuasion on the farm animals. Here's a hook suggestion: "In George Orwell's 'Animal Farm,' the enchanting promise of 'All animals are equal' reverberates through the barnyard, but as the pigs master the art of persuasion, the once-revolutionary commandment undergoes a sinister transformation. Just as a hypnotic melody can sway the most resistant soul, the pigs' persuasive tactics prove that power and rhetoric can be as seductive as any siren's song." This hook introduces the central theme of persuasion and its impact on the farm animals while using a vivid metaphor to engage your readers. It sets the stage for your thesis by highlighting the transformation of the animals' beliefs and the pigs' persuasive tactics.
