Animal Farm.


Although Animal Farm appears to be a simple story about animals, it is actually a satire of Russia by, George Orwell. It was written right after the Russian revolution. At first glance, Animal Farm seems to be boring by looking at the cover, but if you really stick your nose in the book and read I’m sure you’ll like it. The animals over rule the humans to take over the farm. In Animal Farm, the pigs use stories and lies to inspire others, to empower themselves and to oppress the other animals on the farm.

The pigs used stories to inspire other animals. First, Old Major’s speech for example. He told all of the animals his BIG dream that one day he hopes would come true. That all of the animals would be equal and that they will all one day achieve their dream by taking over the farm. Also, the story about the windmill. Then suddenly Napolian stood up to reply, “This windmill idea is nonsense, and that he advised nobody to vote for it”. Lastly, the story about the rebellion. For example, Jones & his men came back to the farm to try to take the farm back.
The animals won and kicked the men off the farm. The animals were very inspired by the things that they heard.

Secondly, the pigs used to stories to empower the animals. The pigs broke the commandment. 2 examples are that Napoleon and the pigs slept in the beds. And they moved in the house. Also, squealer lied about the milk and the apples. He made up a whole different story about what happened to them. Also Napoleon sold the eggs to buy alcohol for him to get drunk and also lied to the pigs again. He lied to receive power and privileges.

Lastly, Napoleon told stories to oppress the pigs. He took away Sunday meetings so they could have more time to read and write and to get their work done. Also because they always disagreed at the meetings. He had told the other pigs to slaughter some of the animals. He disobeyed the amendment (NO ANIMAL SHALL KILL ANY OTHER ANIMAL!) Some animals are more equal then others. The amendment originally said “ALL Ammonals ARE EQUAL” not without cause. He lied to oppress the animals.

In conclusion, the pigs told stories to inspire and to get power for themselves. Also they told stories to try to take over the farm and obviously it worked and they didn't exzactly get their wish but they got a wish that turned out great anyway.
