The book “Animal Farm,” was an allegory of the Russian Revolution. There were many similarities and differences between the movie and the book. The differences between the development of the characters changed the plot the movie. In the movie, things that never happened in the book were present, like the animal revolt and many other small differences. The movie left out many minor details and a character that represented a major group during the Russian Revolution. Despite these differences, they movie followed the fairly close. Rather than the animals speaking, as it was in the book, a narrator told the story in the movie. In the movie not all the animals could talk. The Beasts of England was hummed when the animals sang it. When they talked, they told about how horrible and unjust the humans were they felt was done to them Old Major died when he was giving his speech in the movie, while days pass between his speech and his death in the book. A major event that set the movie apart from the book was how it ended. In both adaptations the animals look through the windows of the house and see a blending of humans and pigs, as if they had become one and the same. Once the animals see the pigs in the house, they charge in and the watcher assumes that the animals take over, but in the book the animals don’t. Also towards the end of the book, …show more content…
Mollie wasn’t a vital character, but she represented the people who were perfectly fine with the government. In the book, she was portrayed as a horse that liked being owned by humans. She ended up leaving the farm. One of the final times she was mention in the book, she was seen getting her nose stroked and she had a ribbon in her mane. Snowball was another character that was not mention too often, he didn’t even get blamed for the windmill collapsing. The last time he was seen in the movie was when Napoleon's dogs chased him off the

In the novel Animal Farm and Movie Animal Farm there were many differences and similarities. In the book Animal Farm Old Major died peacefully 3 days later, after giving his speech, yet in the movie he was shot by Farmer Jones during his speech. In the movie Jessie was the protagonist and was always around, and in the book she was hardly mentioned. Another difference between the movie and novel is Clover, and Mr. Whymper were not mentioned in the movie. In the novel those characters played a crucial part in the story.

In the movie, it is told in a third person point of view and the characters look a lot more different than how they do in the book. The movie goes by much quicker than the book. Also Pony goes straight home after the church burns down.
Overall, the movie and book have many differences and similarities, some more important than others. The story still is clear without many scenes from the book, but the movie would have more thought in it.
Each version also has the main characters boarding up the windows. Anyone who thought the birds won’t attack are usually found dead, but in the movie they are found with their eyes pecked out. Also, both the story and the movie have REALLY bad endings! They aren’t very similar, but they both leave you hanging. When you see a movie or read a book you want to know what happens to the main characters. In these two, you didn’t get an ending. They left you hanging and for some people that ruins it all.
Like all books, Animal Farm the book, is different from Animal Farm the movie. One of the reasons is the characters. Some of the characters that were in the book were not in the movie. Those were characters like Mr. Whymper, Clover, and Mollie. In the movie, Jessie, the dog that was only mentioned in the first chapter, replaced Clover.

Griffin Riley 2/20/14 176. ANIMAL FARM Animal Farm teaches about communism because of its characters. Napoleon was based on a famous Russian dictator named Joseph Stalin. The next character is named Snowball, who is based on Leon Trotsky because he was another Russian leader. Between these three characters, I will show the relationship between the animals and real life communism.
Education is not as prominent in the book as during the Russian Revolution. In the book, education is mentioned when Snowball finds old spelling books, once belonging to Mr. Jones. He begins to teach himself, followed by the other pigs, and finally he helps the other animals to read and write. Some of the not so intelligent animals find this quite taxing, whereas the pigs– being the most intelligent, learn the fastest. Snowball is the most interested in educating the animals, and the well being of the other animals on the farm. Just as Trotsky was intent in educating the Russian people, and their well being during the Revolution. “Napoleon took no interest in Snowball’s committees. He said that education of the young was more important than anything that could be done for those who were already grown up.” This shows Snowball’s commitment to the animals compared to the uninterested Napoleon.
This essay will cover the comparison between Animal Farm and the Russian Revolution. It will also explain why this novel is a satire and allegory to the Revolution that took place in Russia so long ago. First and foremost, Manor Farm itself represents Russia with its poor conditions and irresponsible leaders.

In many situations, people try to change their surroundings for the better.

Animal Farm illustrated by George Orwell an English novelist, journalist, and critic. Animal Farm was written to compare to the 1917 Russian Revolution. Throughout the story, many characters are introduced and they each play a significant role in the book.
The events that occurred in the Russian Revolution were very similar to those in Animal Farm. To begin with, in both the revolution and novel, an internal issue that occurred was food shortages. During the Russian Revolution women workers went on a strike protesting against food shortages on February 23rd, 1917, and was backed up by the men the following day, which participated in this uprising in behalf of being inspired by the political and social advocates. The city of St. Petersburg was in ruins due to the great amount of residents that were a part of this demonstration, even the Czars’ soldiers engaged in the protest after establishing that the military was no longer loyal to Czar Nicholas II (1917 Russian Revolution).
