The author of Animal Farm, George Orwell, had a goal in writing this novella, and that was to portray the Russian Revolution of 1917 as one that resulted in a government more oppressive than the government it overthrew.

The Long Journey - Reflection The Long Journey is a satire on the historical event, The Long March which happened in China from 1934 to 1935 when the communists of China walked approximately 10,000km to find a new base north of China.

It was a knock, it was as if someone was cracking a skull open. I opened my door, scared what might be on the other side, it was the courier guy.

The novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, mainly circles around Lennie Small, a mentally-disabled ranchhand living during The Great Depression. Many times throughout the book, John Steinbeck uses animal imagery as a metaphor to describe Lennie.
