Talking, voting, fighting. Tyranny, corrupt leaders, and deception. Inventions, trade, and prosperity. Do these words describe a story of a new country just getting on its feet but slipping?

Humans are capable of speaking to the mammals on the farm. The author even takes this a step further and creates trade and other business transactions between the two living creatures. For example, a man named Mr. Whymper, the farms broker, one day told the Leader of the farm, Napoleon, that the bank notes he had received for selling timber were in fact forgeries (106).

Trade and discussion between people and farm animals are not common in most animal tales hence making this story different.
             Another instance in which this book becomes different then most animal tales is when the pigs in this story create a basic form of government. In most fairy tales such as Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood there are just a bunch of unorganized animals that stumble onto some plot and try to achieve something and in the end a moral is told. In contrast, Animal Farm has pigs that form a government that is similar to a dictatorship in which one person rules over all. The "dictator", Napoleon, even creates propaganda in order to get the animals to side with him. An illustration of this happening in the story is when Napoleon says " 'Snowball was Jones secret agent from the very start!...For we know now-it is all written down in the secret document
