Animal farm is a dystopian novella written by George Orwell， which is one of the most important dystopian novellas in the history. The work is known as a dystopian political allegory. So how does it work？ I will make a stylistic analysis， hoping to have a clearer look of the work. I choose several representative paragraphs as an example. This extract describes a picture that after revolution， animals were on fire with excitement to get the hay in.

1. At the Lexical Level

　　1.1 Vivid and specific words
　　In this extract， we can find many vivid and specific words to describe how hard they worked while getting the hay in， which makes us able to imagine a picture that how the farm was working on after the revolution. Most of them devoted themselves to the farm without self-seeking. For example： Boxer and Clover would harness themselves to the cutter or the horse-rake and tramp steadily round and round the field.
　　1.2 Accessibility
　　In the above table， we can see that percentage of hard words in the extract is approximately 4.57%. And the fog index is 10.228， which is around a normal accessible text level. The extract is not obscure to understand.

2. At the Syntactic/Grammatical Level

　　2.1 As far as syntax is concerned， we can find a variety of sentence types. In this part， we will mostly concentrate on sentence types.
　　According to the table， short sentences have a larger number， comparing with long sentences. The extract is not complicated but still has several sentences that are not so easy to understand. The distribution of short sentences and long sentences is well organized with an appropriate rhythm.

　　Since the extract is from a literature， most of the sentences are major sentences. Only two sentences “Gee up， comrade” and “Whoa back， comrade”，which was delivered by the pigs while working are minor sentences.
　　The extract consists of periodic sentences. For example： Donkeys live a long time. None of you has ever seen a dead donkey.
　　Periodic sentences can create suspense in the reader’s mind and therefore achieve a special effect of emphasis and climax. In the second sentence， we can see that other animals were working tirelessly， while the donkey’s words were hard to understand. This creates suspense to lead the reader to continue the following paragraphs or following chapters to find out the fact. There is no typical balanced sentence in this extract; all the sentences are loose sentences. Since it is a narrative novel， it doesn’t need to be so regular.
