“Animal Farm” is an allegorical novel written by George Orwell that serves as a manifestation of his hatred upon totalitarian dictatorship. This book is about an animal rebellion that can be related back to real-life events that followed the Russian Revolution of 1917 in the Soviet Union. The Manor farm was the place where the rebellion took place and Mr. Jones, a drunk who did not take any responsibilities of his animals thus causing the animals to fight for food and the freedom, was the owner of the farm. A boar named “Old Major”, who believed that the animals deserved freedom and equality within the animals, led this rebellious act. “For myself I do not grumble, for I am one of the lucky ones.

The pigs were self-centered so much that they even burned down the books that they learnt to read and write from so that the other animals don’t get a chance to learn. Burning the books after they learnt was an important factor as the other animals do not have the ability to read and write so the pigs can basically change and revise the seven commandments as much as they desire to. Later, the pigs started sleeping on beds and used the drawing room as a recreation room for the reason that they were exhausted from doing all the arduous tasks and that they needed leisure time and needed to sleep on bed so they could work harder which would improve for the farm. “It was about this time that the pigs suddenly moved into the farmhouse and took up their residence there...It was absolutely necessary, he said, that the pigs, who were the brains of the farm, should have a quiet place to work in. …....
