the Russian Revolution. For example, in Animal Farm Napoleon seems the most like Joseph Stalin and Snowball from Animal Farm seems the most like Leon Trotsky. In Animal Farm Snowball was trusted by everyone after Old Major passed away, he took in account of everyone’s ideas and reasons behind those ideas, and was most like Old Major overall; just like Leon Trotsky in the Russian Revolution everyone trusted him after Emperor Nicholas II had been disowned by the country,…

words, but they accepted his explanation”. The blind ignorance and loyalty to those considered to be in charge furthers the opportunity of those who are intellectually superior to exploit those who are not as intelligent as them.

DEJ2: The books society is so different from ours, animals taking over humans? That'd be something to see! I think it's different and I wouldn't be able…

This idea becomes one of the key…

His dream was for the animals to take back what was theirs, and to being doing things their way. Toward the end of the book the plan falls due to the fact that…
