Animal Farm RTL
Ben Taylor
Throughout history, many governments have tried to have a government where all people are equal but almost all have failed. In the book Animal Farm, George Orwell writes how you can’t have a government in which all are equal in this historical fiction book. In this book the farm is supposed to represent Russia during the Russian revolution. The animals run all the humans off the farm and rule it themselves. It works for a time but after a while, one pig runs out the other pig and he and all the other pigs keep convincing the other animals that they are better and that they need more things. After some time they start acting like the humans, something they said they would never do. The theme to this book is there is no such thing as total equality. I think that this is important because countrie
s continue to try to have a government like this but it is a bad idea because it will fall apart.
The author uses the characters to develop the theme because in the beginning of the farm’s revolution, all the animals share the work and all the animals share the wealth. As the book goes on, one pig named Napoleon [who represents Joseph Stalin (left)] runs out the other named snowball [who represents Trotsky(botom)], they were together leading the farm. After he runs him out there is only one leader. He and all the other pigs start living in the farmhouse, stop doing work and getting all the profit from the work that the other animals do. Before too long, it turns into a dictatorship. This story directly reflects the theme because it starts out with equality but ends with dictatorship. This book also directly reflects Russian revolution because Russia went through the same exact thing in the early 1900’s. If you just change the names and setting then you have the Russian revolution.
The theme to this book relates to my thinking on life because the Russian revolution was not that long ago and it will probably happen again. Throughout history people overthrow the government and make a communism (a government where all are equal) but it almost always falls apart or leads to a dictatorship. I agree with the author and his theme because I think that there has to be a leader in every government or else it will fall apart.
I think that the characters and theme are both very believable because if you change the setting and the characters’ names then you have the Russian revolution. In the Russian revolution the people overthrow their government leader and make a communist government. Joseph Stalin (Napoleon) kills Trotsky (Snowball) and becomes a dictator and takes everything for himself that the people earned.
