animal farm

« knew that the pigs guaranteed by the revolution would end badly.

Sheep, these animals don't understand anything, they follow the strongest and they have no opinion, and follow all orders pigs.

So they always acclaim the revolutionary refrain « Four legs, yes! Two legs, no! » Then « Four legs good, two legs better! » .

The sheep represent the masses which are highlighted in this policy.

Dogs are nine big beasts constituting the personal guard of Napoleon, and which allow this one to be able to establish his reign of terror.

Dogs symbolize the services and the Soviet secret police the NKVD.

Chickens are the most exploited of the farm animals.

I think they are referring to all the farmers who were the most abused.

And finally a man, Mr.

Jones was the owner of Manor Farm, and having neglected his animals has caused a rebellion.

It is inspired by the Tsar Nicolas II. We find immediately a great topic that the parallel between the political system of the pig and of Stalin's USSR.

First we find the Bolshevik revolution in 1917 with the raising of animals who don't want the men then they take the power of their former master and get rid of him just like the Russian got rid of their sovereign the Tsar Nicolas II.

We often find the destruction of the mill, this can make us think about the consequent failure of the facts Stalin plans.

And then we find out the personality cult with propaganda.

But we also understand that as in communism the pursuit of equality, eventually destroy society, because natural hierarchies are formed and power no longer has any limits.

This policy is a utopia. I greatly enjoyed this book because I am strong concern about the history of communism, it is one of my favorite moments of history.

I loved the transposition between the farm and the USSR.

The ending is predictable; indeed even if you do not know the history of the USSR we know all the same how the story will end.

Because we saw immediately that the pigs would quickly absolute power, especially as they had all privileges (for example the problem of apples and milk).

By cons I would never have believed that the author would give up the human form to pigs.. »
