Orwell is an amazing writer! He can take real events that have happened in real life and then make a story about the events that happened using animals. Using animals helped me understand the Russian Revolution better. The animals made the Revolution more interesting.
In the book, there was a pig named Napoleon, who was used to represent Stalin. He was in charge of Animal Farm, which in real life was Russia. Just like Stalin controlled Russia and was a dictator, Napoleon controlled Animal Farm and made all the rules. All the animals listened to Napoleon. They had no idea what he was doing to the farm.
Using animals makes us look at the Russian Revolution in a different perspective. From the animals view, we see how easily the proletariat were persuaded and controlled. They had no idea what was going on, just like the other animals had no idea that Napoleon was making the farm a corrupt place.
Orwell tried and he succeeded. Animal Farm is a great book that puts a spin on a real life event.
