The Russian Revolution was a tyranny brought by Joseph Stalin, a communistic revolutionist set on making Russia his own personal kingdom that set him at the top, and his subjects underneath doing his bidding no matter what the cost. Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, is a story relating to the Russian Revolution during the periods of 1917 to 1945.

It sounds a little crazy, but it makes compelling points in how and why the revolution started. For example, the book has animals that portray people from the Russian Revolution. As cited in the first paragraph, Major is an old boar, held up to very high standards by all of the animals on the farm. On his deathbed, Major makes his final speech given at the Barn. In this speech, he tells the animals to stand up to Mr. Jones and no longer take his oppression towards them. His “Comrades,”, feeling very inspired to rebel, devise a plan to overthrow and ratify Mr. Jones’s Farm. The animals are successful in their attack. After such, the animals celebrate and are given roles to play in this new government called Animalism. Napoleon, a prized bore on his Mr. Jones farm, is an Idealistic dictator ready to govern his civilians and makes his workforce obey his every command. Failure to comply overall, will result in death.

Napoleon uses this to his advantage to let him do all the dirty work in his newly formed Animalistic Empire. The end of Boxers life is very short lived. While working, Boxer sustained a heavy injury, complaining that his lungs had started to hurt. Napoleon, seeing no need to carry around any such extra weight disposes of Boxer. While Boxer is resting in the barn, two men come and take him away, throw him into a van, and begin to shut the doors. Boxer soon realizes whats going on and begins to stand up and get the doors open, but it is too late. Napoleon's subjects in dazzling awe continue their work in fear, knowing that this same fate might happen to them. Boxers life is very short lived and meaningless to Napoleon in the end.

In the Revolution, There was a very certain character made up by Stalin used to sort of motivate the correctional force that he created.
