    Orwell's Animal Farm is an allegory because it is about the evils of the Russian Revolution. An example of this is when the Battle of the Cowshed represents the Russian Civil war and its battles with occupying Germany. Orwell is using the story of Manor Farm's animal rebellion to caution people against the encroachment of tyranny. The entire book rests on the assumption that "The Russian Revolution is like beasts taking over a farm". Orwell chose pigs to represent the leader's and sheep to represent the leader's and sheep to represent the mindless followers because the animals show the qualities of the individuals.…

    In Animal Farm, one of George Orwell’s main goals was to portray the Russian Revolution of 1917 in his writing through character’s, events, and concepts. His goal was clearly shown in his text because many important people of the Russian Revolution were seen through animals, events that took place in the Russian Revolution were reflected in his writing, and many concepts of the time were shown in a different form. He accomplished his goal by using simpler characters and an easier concept to grasp. Orwell wrote Animal Farm in the style he did to appeal to a wider variety of people but still reflect an important time in history. His objective for making this book an allegory to the Russian Revolution was to show the readers the negatives of…
