    Animal Farm is the account of a fictional farm under the tyrannical ownership of Farmer Jones. The animals reach breaking point, and start a revolution against the tyranny of man.

They turn the farm from a free democratic state into a communist state. The pigs then state that “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others”.

    Vladimir Lenin once said “Sometimes - history needs a push”. What Lenin is referring to in this quote is revolution, which is just what the animals on Mr. Jones’s farm plan to do in belief that animals are superior to humans and should be treated better than slaves to man in George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm. Mr. Jones treats the animals on his farm with little to no respect for their well-being, seeming to only care about the income they supply for him. When the idea of taking what they feel is rightfully theirs is brought on by a wise pig, Old Major, the animals start a rebellion. Sometimes together and sometimes not, the animals learn to manage the farm on their own and survive together without the help of humans. George Orwell uses specific parallels in the novel to connect the characters and events on Animal Farm to their equivalents in the Russian Revolution. Both figuratively and literally, the main figures in Animal Farm are directly linked to real life people who took part in the Russian Revolution through how they acted, what they did, and what they believed in to show a different representation of running a civilization and war.…

    Another aspect that Old Major has fulfilled is his directness. I feel that he can quickly and clearly direct his message to the animals quickly, and all the animals understand what he says and means. As for Squealer, he plays with the animals, leading them in a maze that goes round and round. Only the smartest of them understood what he really meant. After he…

    Never listen when they tell you that Man and animals have a common interest, that the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of the others. It is all lies. Man serves the interest of no creature except himself. And among us animals let there be perfect unity, perfect comradeship in the struggle. All men are enemies. All animals are comrades.(10)…

    Old major persuades the animals to believe in his ideals by manipulating them. The language he uses is very manipulative and he always refer the animals to ‘Comrades’ which means friend or someone who is trusted, which catches their attention and persuade them. This also foreshadows what happens in the Russian Revolution where Lenin persuades the Russian people that the country should be a communist country. ‘I feel it my duty to pass on to you such wisdom’ This implies that the message he’s going to say is very important. ‘such wisdom’ is a hyperbole as he exaggerates his message.…

    Although Animal Farm has to deal with animals it also relates to human life. This is how, In Animal Farm they do not like to be mistreated by their owner as all of us do. All of the character in this book feel that they have been mistreated by Mr.Jones who is the drunk owner for all these animals. Old major is the character that I relate to the most. Old Major is an old boar whose speech about the evils perpetrated by humans roused the animals into rebelling. His philosophy concerning the tyranny of Man is named Animalism by his followers. He also teaches the song "Beasts of England" to the animals. He has told all the animals about Utopia which is a perfect world that they would not have to worry about someone telling them what to do. The reason I have a connection with Old major is because, he has a vision of a perfect world and when people or the animals in his case that they believe in themselves. I am like that because I don't like people that aren't confident with what they have. Also, when they don't believe that they can do something that they have done before but just don't have the confidence to do it again.…
