Animals are naturally not built for persisting mutually. However, these farm animals embrace each other and endure through troublesome times together. Animal Farm authored by George Orwell, a satire fiction, and is about farm animals that work together, face obstacles, and obtain prominence.

The pigs are natural born leaders and they lead the rebellion, with Snowball answering questions, “We have no means of making sugar on this farm… those ribbons that you are so devoted to are the badge of slavery” (37). One must think of themselves in the animal’s shoes. They have to be as pure as possible and not interact with humans. They need to be vigilant and not stray from the tasks at hand.

The animals fight bravely and force, “A minute late all five of them were in full flight down the cart-track that led to the main road, with the animals pursuing them in triumph” (39).

As for the pigs, they could already read and write perfectly” (49). The animals become more human by the day. They wonder how human’s think and act and reflect on themselves. The pigs are already literate and can both read and write. However, the rest of the farm does not fare the same. Lastly, the milk and apples are the greatest food on the farm and the pigs are stealing it for themselves. However, Squealer announces, ‘“Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health… It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples… Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed our duty?
