Animal Farm

Animal Farm Essay #1 Week of February 28th

When the animals rebelled against the humans, it was misunderstood that the rules created were concrete. They were a couple of daredevils, and they rebelled from the rebellion, if that makes any sense. The pigs, for one, made unexplainable choices, throwing away the movement for equal rights. When Major died, the one who fed these choices and equal rights to the rest of the animals, three pigs who represent Stalin, Lenin, and Trotsky stepped up as leaders and changed the rules. Their names are Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer. 

Each of them seem to have unequal ways of teaching, of expressing what should be said. Maybe that's not what they want to say. Orwell based this book on the Russian Revolution, using, comically, animals as the object. Even though this revolution would not last at all without a leader, it is turning into a hassle. While the USA says that we are equal, it is not rue. We will never be truly equal, because something would overrule.

This happens in Animal Farm as well, two of the pigs let greed take over themselves, and they take all of the power. The rules were rewritten just to go with their wants. Orwell did use the animals, but everything is still the same. Animal ism, Communism, they are the same, but no one will ever be the same. You cannot take two different types of stones and smash them together in hopes of them working together because either way they will just turn into crushed rock, sand, and then no one will be happy.
