Examples Of Allegory In Animal Farm

A. Orwell wrote Animal Farm as an allegory because it spoke about political issues. it spoke the evils about the Russian Revolution. The farm represents Russia under the Czar. The Animal Farm represented Russia under the Ussr. The animals didn't just represent animals but in fact, represented people and different groups. Snowball represented Trotsky and Napoleon represented Stalin. The sheep represented the people as a whole just following orders. Lastly, the boxer represented the usual worker. The negative feeling towards Communism were the main feeling behind the story. This represented Totalitarianism as well. The book was was written in a time when the USSr was at large with power. It was around 1949. At this time they used war to make believe that communism was a good thing.

B. This story explains how Communism is not a good this. I believe the main intention of this story was to state that it wouldn't end well if it continued. Some of the rhetorical components of this story are the events represented negatively of the story and the pigs. This story is persuading that you can not have a leader that leads blindly. The people had given their leader all of the trust and believed the system was right. If this continued it wouldn't end well.

C.

The use of an allegory as a rhetorical device is different from the usage of a non-fictional account for many different reasons. It is very difficult to try and persuade a group of follower to see the negative effects of communism. When it comes to speaking about history it does tend to get a little complicated. The USSR had a very complicated history to talk about. People would either not understand, get bored or not care to hear about it. the story Animal Farm keeps it interesting. This story did show another side that showed a very corrupt side of leadership. It explained the history of the USSR in a way that was simple to understand. It showed different sides of a broken system and corruption from the

government.

D.I seem to believe that the book Animal Farm was a success. It has been a very well known books for years. Most people tend to refer to it aa a famous allegorical Anti- Communism books. A famous quote that had been quoted time after time is the quote " All Animals are equal but some are more equal than others". That specific quote has began arguments time after time for Anti-communism.

I believe that this poem represents the negative consequences on someone not speaking up against any type of injustice. Niemoller mostly talks about how he never spoke up during a time when speaking up was a must. Any person that would've spoken up against injustice with Niemoller was gone by the time they came for him. It shows how in the book after every injustice the animals refused to stand up against what they believed in to Napoleon and the dogs. The animal farm was the place where they finally decided to take a stand and fight to overthrow them. Their failure to speak up had a negative outcome for Snowball and Boxer. They didn't have many people to stand with them against evil that was Napoleon. Once you don't stand for what is wrong or right like in the story when they come for you, you basically will be standing alone. The stories attempt to deliver the message in a similar way.
