QUESTION 8-Animal Farm

Entry of your choice.

Comparing characters from Animal Farm & Russian Revolution:

Revolution of the Animals/Russian Revolution
The animals thought the rebellion would make their life better than the Jones’ time. But to the contrary, it got worse than Jones’ time. Animals thought the leader, comrade Napoleon, would do much better than Jones but it got worse at Napoleon’s time. It was the same at the Russian revolution time. Stalin became a leader to make the country better but instead, he was a tyrant and it seemed that the leader before him, Czar, looked like a nice guy. So the rebellion of the animals and the Russian revolution wasn’t that successful.
Napoleon/Stalin
Napoleon wasn’t that smart as his rival Snowball. He was very cruel and selfish. He didn’t become a leader to lead the other animals to make a better place to live but to have power. He killed animals who betrayed him with his dogs. Stalin was a tyrant, too. He killed people that opposed him and also he killed people even though they didn’t do anything. He was mad for power and he stepped on his rival Trotsky.
Snowball/Trotsky
Snowball was the smartest animal in the farm and he tried to make the life of animals better than it had been before. But Napoleon restrained him and tried to kill Snowball with his brainwashed dogs. Trotsky was also a pure communist and wanted to improve Russia but Stalin didn’t let him.
Old Major/Karl Marx
Before Old Major died, he told the animals to rebel against Jones and he was the pig who taught Animalism to other animals in the farm. And Karl Marx was the person who invented Communism.

Jones/Czar
Jones didn’t care about his animals. He didn’t give them food to eat. Jones was very irresolute man; he was sometimes good to his animals, but sometimes bad to them. Similar to Jones, Czar was sometimes good and sometimes bad.
