Have you ever thought of just laying back in the sun with not a care in the world. I’m Benjamin and my moto/saying is “nothing really annoys me, I'm not that kind of [donkey], I'm quite laid back about most things”(Mark Lawrenson).

My imagination of an utopian society is everyone is not worried about anything and they don't’ pick sides,…

One of the most important symbols in Animal Farm is personification. Personification is used all around on Animal Farm, making all the animals talk and giving them human characteristics. By personifying the animals, Orwell was able to satirize some of the most serious political figures of the era.

The animals and the events in Orwell’s Animal Farm represent the events transpiring up to the Russian Revolution. In HtRLLaP, Foster states that anything can be a symbol as long as it has more than one meaning, insinuating that Orwell’s book could also have symbols in them; the pig, for example, could represent the ones in power like Napoleon to Joseph Stalin. Conceit, greed, corrupt— those are the characteristic that Stalin had and those are also the attributes of Napoleon. Orwell wrote animal…
