AniFarm
The book Animal Farm was written by George Orwell. It is a political satire written to parallel communist Russia. Every event and character in the book has a parallel in history to the events and characters that make up the communist revolution. Characters in the book such as Old Major and Napoleon, parallel leaders like Lenin and Stalin. The book, like the communist revolution, contained many good and bad examples of leadership. Animal Farm takes place on a small fictional farm in England called "Manor Farm." The animals on the farm include, dogs, a cat, ducks, pigs, horses, a donkey, and even field mice, pigeons, and a crow. On the farm the animals are hard working and severely mistreated. Clearly representing the working class, the animals of the farm are unappreciated and un-rewarded for their hard work by the human owners of the farm. The humans parallel the Russian monarchy. Lead by farmer Jones, who was a poor manager of his farm much like Czar Nicholas was a poor leader, the humans mistreat the animals. After being mistreated for some time one of the animals takes the first step toward change. An old pig called Old Major has a dream and tells all the animals about it. His dream was of the animals running t
Napoleon completely forgets about the welfare of his fellow animals. A good example of this is right after the animals gain power. Napoleon and Snowball even worked together at first. The animals rename "Manor Farm" more appropriately "Animal Farm. This happened in communist Russia when Stalin eventually fought Trotsky for control of the government. " The book ends with all the animals gazing in at their leaders, the pigs, and their sworn enemies, the humans, eating and laughing together. Lead predominantly by the pigs, revolution sweeps the farm and the humans are driven off. These were all things that Napoleon and the other pigs had deemed illegal for animals to do. Arguing and debating in front of the other animals causes confusion and miscommunication. The main theme of Animal Farm starts to become evident here. They tried their best for a short time to work as one so that they could be good leaders. Though there were not many, there were some instances where the leaders in this book preformed well. Immediately after the revolution takes place the animals are so happy they don't know what to do. Strong communication is needed between the leaders and the led in order to maintain order. However, Animal Farm was not just a book about communism.
