Animal Farm is a fable that represents Stalinism in Russia. Also‚ it can be related to how many world leaders‚ and politicians get away with things that others don’t because of their position in the world.

Animal Farm Personally‚ I believe that the classic book‚ Animal Farm‚ is one that all should enjoy and prosper from. It is written by Eric Blair‚ or as he is better known‚ George Orwell. The whole book is a giant metaphor comparing the corruption of the Soviet Union (under the rule of the Communist Party) into the form of animals on a farm. Each animal represents a specific leader in that time. This utopian novel also has many unique themes that mostly everyone can relate to. They range from
