 Anna Wrobel              Animal Farm Critical Evaluation

When you read Animal Farm, by George Orwell, you might think that it is only a science fiction book , but if you study this deeper we can easily deduce that it is an analogy to the Russian Revolution. Even though most people do not see, Animal Farm is a book about the Russian Revolution, where each character represents an important personage and where the plot is based on what happen in that country.  Animal Farm is about a group of unfair treated animals planning to seek revenge over humans. Their plan was to take over Manor Farm. The creator of the magical idea was Old Major, he had a dream one night and he woke up and told the other animals what happened in his dream. However three nights later he died. But the other animals carried on his dreams to take over the farm. Seeing as Old Major was a pig, the pigs decided to take over because they were the cleverest animals on the farm. However not everything at the end turns to be like in Old Majors dream.

Napoleon is an effective and cleaver leader because he uses the puppies to become he guards by educating them saying to the animals that the education of the young is much more important than the education of the adults. “The education of the young was more important than anything that could be done for these who were already grown up” – Napoleon. What actually Napoleon is trying to say is that he can only teach the young animal to be royal to him because the young animals will accept everything he will say and do everything he says. However the adults will regret him because they are smarter than the young ones and might start to think that Napoleon is up to something. “They accepted everything that they were told about the Rebellion and the principles of Animalism” Napoleon is a cleaver pig because he knows that if he will get into trouble he can always use his guards or squealer to talk to the animals that there are mistaken . I think that this step to power is unforgettable because without it Napoleon would never be such a powerful boss of “Animal Farm”.

However than harder the animals work than less food they get. Even when animals eat less food that they got from Mr Jones Squealer tells the animals that they are getting much more food than Mr Jones was given them before the revolution so they should keep the work up . All animals worked very hard from the morning to the evening but the hardest of all animals worked ...
