Animal Farm

 
 
I believe that George Orwell wrote Animal Farm based on what was going on in Russia at the time. Some of the characters, events and places make Animal Farm a near duplicate of Stalin's Russian Communism. Orwell's story and the goings-on in Russia happened at too close of a time frame and were far too similar to not be the same story. Whether Orwell admits it or not, he had to get the basis of his story from Stalin's actions. The characters in Animal Farm are very comparable too the people in Stalin's Russia. Napoleon, a power hungry pig, had to have represented Stalin himself. Snowball, who was run out of Animal Farm, was identical to Trotsky, who was chased out of Russ
 
 


Also, the farms surrounding Animal Farm are uncanny representations of Russia's bordering countries trying to get involved in the country's problems. The places in the novel are clearly equivalent to those in Communist Russia. As well as characters and events, the places in Animal Farm are very alike to the ones in Occupied Russia. The farmhouse that the pigs made their own home clearly symbolizes the Kremlin, which was Stalin "house of power. Orwell would be lying if he said Animal Farm has nothing to do with Stalin's Russia. The rebellion from the novel significantly reenacts the October Revolution in Russia. The Battle of Cowshed from Animal Farm makes a great comparison to the Allied Invasion of 1918-1919 as well. Also, the hoof and horn flag that was raised in the story compares to the hammer and sickle flag of the Soviet Union. The characters of this novel are far too analogous to the characters of Communist Russia to not be the equivalent of one another. Everything is in far too perfect order for the comparisons of the book and the actual happenings to be a mere coincidence. Orwell continues to deny that he wrote his book about these events, but it is unmistakable evidence that proves him wrong. Similarities between the characters, events and places make it apparent that this book was based on Russia's effort to overcome Communism. Even Squealer, who strived to let all the animals know that Napoleon was an exceptional leader, signifies the Communist Newspaper packed with propaganda. Some topics in this essay:
