Animal farm is a great example of power and corruption. In the novel the animals at Manor farm hold a rebellion and take control of the farm. There plan work and the pigs create Animal-ism. Animal-ism is basically states that the humans are the number one enemy and all animals are to be treated equal.

Animal Farm, i would recommend those to read Animal Farm who want to get more familiar with the Russian Revolution, the animals very much reflect people in history who had a great amount of involvement in the Russian Revoltion. Animal Farm, explains this period of history by using animals on a farm portraying what was done by the leaders during that time. Despite that from Animal Farm i learned a lot more about the techniques of the Russian Revolution and was more familiar with it than i already

Animal Farm was a fun book to read. It was short and easy to read but, you had to think about things that were said becuase it represents something. This book was written by George Orwell to describe the negative conditions that the Russian people were facing during the rule of Joseph Stalin. Instead of a terse and candid description, he described the conditions by using animals on a farm to display the lives of everyday Russian citizens. Overall this book was great.
I LOVE this book so much for many reasons. One is because the author used animals to represent people that lived during the Russian Revolution. i find that very clever and amazing. I learned that greed can lead to a tragic fall. This is because one the the characters wanted so much power that he ended up loosing it all. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn the perspective of the Russian Revolution.
This was such a funny book. I liked the way the author uses farm animals such as pigs,sheep,dogs and the idea of corruption to define everything that was going when Stalin and his totalitarian government. I found this book very helpful which help fresh my memory of what we had been studying in global. The characters and animal correctly match out to all the dictators and followers of Stalin.

This Russian revolutionary-themed allegory began on Manor Farm, which was owned by a cruel Mr. Jones. The animals soon united to overthrow Mr. Jones and the pigs on the farm took charge after leading the initial revolution.In the end the pigs formed alliances with the ones the initially swore to hate, the humans. In an attempt to be better and different from their enemy, they became a mirror image. This novel demonstrates valuable lessons and themes that are important such as education is power
