Animal Farm “With great power comes great responsibility”-Uncle Ben from Spider Man. Many leaders throughout history were corrupted by the power they were given or achieved. The most notorious was Joseph Stalin. He and Napoleon from the book animal farm are very alike in many ways. Stalin was very infamous for starting communism.
“When humans act with cruelty we characterize them as ‘animals’, yet the only animal that displays cruelty is humanity,” said by Anonymous. Joseph Stalin shared the same characteristics as Napoleon from the book, “Animal Farm”, by George Orwell, showing that an animal can be a real person. When Joseph Stalin and Napoleon were elected to be leaders, they caused fear because they would eliminate anyone who got in their way, they changed the ideas of the revolution just for the benefits of themselves, and they gained power by manipulating and using their organizations to convince those among them to follow their industrial plan. Therefore these are some ideas that Napoleon and Joseph Stalin show that an animal can be like a real person.
Animated families offer the animators the ability to create zany, unrealistic realities, yet they still contain a window to what a family was at the shows conception. While shows such as The Simpsons have been on air for a long time and have evolved, their window is to a time where a family had a mother, father, son, daughter, baby, dog, and cat, all the staples of a traditional nuclear family. Since then shows have adapted, including to shows where the children are staying with some non-parental family member, such a Gravity Falls, focusing around twins living with their great uncle for the summer in a strange town. In this way Phineas and Ferb’s crazy adventures can be put aside and one can focus on the family dynamic of the show to see
The book Animal Farm is an allegory which corresponds to the Russian Revolution. In the book, the animals take over the farm and run the humans off of the property. They are tired of being treated cruelly and decide to take things into their own matters. This is where “war” between animal and man start. The Russian Revolution had much in common with this but also has its differences.
One of Orwell 's goals in writing Animal Farm was to portray the Russian (or Bolshevik) Revolution of 1917 as one that resulted in a government more oppressive, totalitarian, and deadly than the one it overthrew. Many of the characters and events of Orwell 's novel parallel those of the Russian Revolution: In short, Manor Farm is a model of Russia, and old Major, Snowball, and Napoleon represent the dominant figures of the Russian Revolution. Mr. Jones is modeled on Tsar Nicholas II (1868-1918), the last Russian emperor. His rule (1894-1917) was marked by his insistence that he was the uncontestable ruler of the nation. During his reign, the Russian people experienced terrible poverty and upheaval, marked by the Bloody Sunday massacre in 1905 when unarmed protesters demanding social reforms were shot down by the army near Nicholas ' palace.
George Orwell published Animal Farm under Secker and Warburg on August 17, 1945.

Propaganda is the spreading of ideas, rumors and other information to injure or help a person or an institution. One can see this concept in the book Animal Farm, a tale written in 1945 by author George Orwell. Orwell illustrates the use of propaganda in the Russian Revolution by utilizing animals as the main characters. In the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell, the animals use elements of propaganda like scare tactics, scapegoating and disinformation to influence the other animals on the farm.
In the historical fiction novel Animal Farm, that was written by George Orwell in 1945, the animals and the farm represent the Russian Revolution back in 1917. Some of the animals act like some of the people in the war and use some tactics to get the most power. One of the animals named Squealer is an allegory for propaganda because he uses fear, scapegoat and scientific claims to take power. Squealer represents propaganda by using fear. The number one thing he uses on the animals is, ”Surely none of you wishes to see Jones back?”
The Russian Revolution began in 1917 due to the poor living conditions that Czar Nicholas II imposed on the citizens of Russia. The proletariats, or working class, were treated extremely unfair; meanwhile the upperclassmen were very privileged. The proletariats were forced to work long and hard, with little or no benefit coming out of it. The working class men could barely support the cost of living, and they usually faced the reoccurring issue of starvation.
Sometimes it is necessary to take chances, just like the animals did in the book "Animal Farm". The animals in the book "Animal Farm" were tired of the farmers treating them like slaves. The farmers worked them to the point of cruelty, giving them the minimum amount of food to keep them alive. The animals were tired and hungry and finally had enough, so the decided to overthrow the farmers. I think that the chance the animals were taking was necessary in order to keep themselves alive.
One dominant theme in animal farm is totalitarianism and abuse of power. Totalitarianism is defined as a political system in which the state possesses complete authority over the society and controls all aspects of public and private life whenever necessary. The author criticized totalitarianism and believed that it was inevitable in a communist system, as those put in charge will result in the abuse of their power. The theme Orwell intended to get across was that all totalitarian regimes are the same and those who hold power will do anything to maintain it. The pigs, who were the leaders, frequently displayed this throughout the novel.
Effects of Communism in Animal Farm It is commonly believed that communism will lead to equality and happiness for all; Orwell proves that this is not always the case. The hope for equality in Animal Farm is not accomplished because the pigs live a better life than the other animals. Also, The animals other than the pigs are forced to work harder then they had when Mr. Jones ran the farm. Finally, the animals other than Napoleon cannot share their own opinions.
Stalin, the leader of the Communist army in Russia and the most powerful man in the past uses violence to the ones that go against him. He has a style of dictatorship where many people suffer. Gunshots going across, people dying out, outcry, burst in tears with bruises all over the body, killing in harsh condition all occurs during Russian Revolution. The historical background of George Orwell’s Animal Farm is also the Russian Revolution. In the book, Napoleon uses dictatorship to order other animals, uses accuration, and give harsh punishment who block his way.
