Animal Farm

Animal Farm is an American book which criticizes the the ideas of the Russian Revolution.

1a.)The way Joseph Stalin rose to power with militants The way Stalin used his army to put fear into the civilians of the USSR.

1b.)Napoleon is referenced the way the pig uses his attack dogs to strike fear into other animals and hold his power. 

The animals (russians) didn’t want to live under the rule of the humans (Czar). The humans were murderous and the animals (russians) were not safe under human rule. So when Old Major (Vladimir Lenin), gave them a realization that they were being abused and they revolted (The Bolshevik Revolution). The humans come back and attempt to take t“Four legs good, two legs bad.”he farm(Russia) back over and fail (The Russian Civil War).

“Four legs good, two legs bad.”

This quote shows that all of the animals on Animal Farm can live in unity. they had a common hatred Two legs bad represented the humans as being evil. This quote shows irony. The pigs end the story by stand on their hind legs. So similar to the humans that their differences cannot be told apart. This is recognized and the animals are going to repeat this cycle of revolution rise in power then a fall  with another  animal being kicked from Animal Farm.

Since the pigs were in control, there socialist ideals that had been presented by Old Major had been been twisted to justify their actions. When Old Major died, the rules had been changed by the pigs. Which once was “All animals are equal,” becomes “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” They make a commandment that doesn’t make sense and puts the other animals down not knowing to question it. The pigs make this quote with its intention to confuse,

2a. As sweet and nice as butters is he will blindly follow the negatives around him such as Eric Cartman. Eric who demands a lot from Butters which is too unmentionable for a PG-15 blog.

2b. Boxer agrees with the ideas but cannot attribute deeper thought into them. He is devoted but is blind to the corruption that becomes of Napoleon and his following.

If I was in the book as a human i would have already killed an animal in order to show my dominance. If it were present day, I would already had cameras in the barn house. The first word of that meeting animals had, any animals that had replied to the story would have been sold or be  killed. I would of appeared with my weaponry and would have been ready to slaughter the animals. Since this is an animal reference and not talking about Russia it would be seen as that I am a dictator but farm animals would never be allowed to challenge my authority.

How do you think the story would of changed if the commandments were not changed and the pigs had to defend every decision according to the commandments? *Similar to Court*
