Animal Farm by George Orwell was a book poking fun of the Soviet Union during the time of Josef Stalin. To some readers the message of the story could go right over their heads. For others, who are more into history would perfectly understand how well the Soviet Union during that time compares to the book. People who are not indulged in history could read this book and completely understand what is happening and then could connect it to the Soviet Union. Animal Farm keeps the reader reeled in during the conflicts and changing themes. First, a recurring theme through Animal Farm was the leader’s need for greed. When Jones was running the camp he did not really care what happened to the animals. He only cared about what he could get from the animals. Napoleon was sort of the same but a little bit different. He gave the other animals the impression that he was getting the same things they were getting. In reality he was slowly taking away food from the other animals so he could have more for himself. In the real world there are situation similar to the animals. The government could take money from citizens but spend it on something that would not benefit the people in any way. It is not the right thing to do. If the …show more content…
Animal Farm starts with Old Major’s speech about hope for the rebellion. Then the leaders that took over Animal Farm promised a good future to the animals. Most of their promises never came true. The animals still believed them because they did not know what else to believe. This is a good representation of religion in this day and age. Humans feel incomplete without having something that can have to believe. Most of everything they do is based on what they believe. The animals on Animal Farm worked very hard because they were told it would benefit them, but it actually took away their freedom. Humanity live their lives based on the things they
Animal Farm by George Orwell is a political satire/fable. Animal Farm is a book about a farm of animals rebelling against their human farmer. They hope to create a society where they are equal and free. There is no set main character in this book, but the most “important” character is Napoleon. Napoleon is leader of the big group of animals and controls what happens on the farm.
In George Orwell's Animal Farm, Napoleon, a pig leader that represents Stalin from the Russian Revolution plays a big role in the book as the pig leaders are a superior group among the population of Animal Farm. In the story Napoleon is representing Stalin in Animal Farm as the main leader after Mr.Jones is ran out of the farm and Old Major died, resembling how Stalin took over rising to power in Russia. Napoleon started as a seemingly good leader but that soon changed… Napoleon, just like Stalin started to have problems with citizens of their own community and tried to hurt people and take things away. Both leaders can be shown using their superiority and power to their advantage to get everything they wanted and felt was necessary.
Animal farm is a book written by George Orwell. The book is a reflection of the events of the Russian Revolution and Joseph Stalin’s rise to power. Joseph Stalin is represented by Napoleon and the story follows the events that lead up to Napoleon’s rule over Animal Farm. During the novel, Napoleon uses both psychological and physical fear to control the animals. This is proved by Napoleon using Jones and Snowball as a Physiological fear, to prevent rebellion.
I think that George Orwell represented the church in Animal Farm very accurately. In the beginning of the story, Moses was Jones's pet. After the animals took over the farm, the pigs ridiculed Moses for trying to tell the others about SugarCandy Mountain.
Napoleon who was in control in Animal farm is similar to Joseph Stalin. One similarity between Napoleon and Stalin is they would eliminate anyone who would disagree with them or rebel against their rules. In the book Animal Farm Napoleon gets rid of Snowball because they didn't agree on what to do for the farm and he was worried all the animals would side with Snowballs ideas not Napoleons. In the book it states, “They dashed straight for Snowball, who only sprang from his place just in time to escape their snapping jaws,” (Orwell 53). This shows that napoleon felt threatened by Snowball and was worried he would take over the farm so he used his dogs to try to kill Snowball so Napoleon could have no choice but to rule the farm.
He would kill any animal that got in his way or wasn’t working hard enough. An example of this was when Boxer was found laying down in the field, he didn’t try to help him, he just sent him away to the slaughter house. Also, Mr. Jones didn’t just treat some of the animals badly, he treated all of the animals bad. This is bad, but it is not near as bad as what Napoleon was doing to the rest of the animals. They both made the animals work harder than they needed to which ended up making life on the farm

Another thing to consider in the writing of this book is the historical parallels. In his book, Foster discusses the historical background of titles like Rip van Winkle, or Oedipus at Colonus. Animal Farm was published in 1945, just two years before the Cold war is considered to have begun, and immediately after the second world war. This was a tumultuous time, with anger on both sides. When Orwell wrote the book, it drew attention, and criticism, to the Soviet

Animal Farm -the history of a rebellion that went wrong- is George Orwell 's brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power. It was first published in 1945. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalin era in the Soviet Union.

In Animal Farm, two themes were shown throughout the book. One theme was “Not everyone is equal; some people believe that they are more superior than others.” another theme was “People deserve to have their own thoughts and ideas.

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear” (George Orwell). George Orwell lived from 1903 to 1950. During this era there were many political dilemmas occuring in the world, especially in Russia with Stalin and Marxism. Even though these occurred in the Soviet Union, it still greatly affected America, because the Soviet Union and the US were in the Cold War around this time. George Orwell’s work brings up the conversation of some of these political issues and their influence on America.
It is obvious to see Napoleon as a dictator when viewing the farm’s government as a tyranny. He is the main symbol of authoritarianism in the novel. Another important symbol are the dogs. They represent the military in the Animal Farm government. Napoleon orders them to kill other animals, like a president giving orders to the troops.
