When the pig delegates from other farms come to see the efficiency of Animal Farm. The pigs were all dressed in clothes which is against the seven commandments. The pigs looked over the farm and then had drinks in the farm house which are both against the seven commandments. The pigs did not care because they're the ones in charge and made the resolutions. They think the commandments shouldn't have to apply to them. The other animals come closer to the house to look and they saw the pigs turning into men.

The animals later took over the farm and life was good until the pigs started behaving like humans and took over the farm again. The pigs treated the animals worse than the way the farmers and his workers treated the animals. In Animal Farm there is an obvious evolution of a democracy society to a dictatorship society. First the animals were all treated equally, secondly the pigs became the leaders, and finally the pigs have taken over the farm making the other animals slaves.

As the book progresses, and the pigs come to power, the animals are no longer equal, and the system doesn’t work well. They Dictated what and how things happened on the farm, and all
In Animal Farm by George Orwell, the dominating pigs are the ultimate hypocrites. They implement many harsh rules for the farm, but continuously bend and break them according to their own needs. These actions lead to the breakdown of the animals’ supposed communal society and make evident how the dystopian elements in the novel lead to a controlling and dictatorial government. Through the ruling class of pigs, Orwell is able to provide commentary on the authoritarian governments of his time, as well as those in the future. Animal Farm by George Orwell uses the dystopian elements of societal control and the illusion of perfection to provide a critique of authoritarian governments and their tyrannical impact on society.
George Orwell writes Animal Farm as a criticism about the Revolution in Russia during the First World War and when Joseph Stalin takes over the Soviet Union and converts it to Communism. The book is a direct reflection of real life people and events that happened during this time. Fear and ignorance has a great effect on the way people lived their lives and similarly the way the animals lived their lives on the farm under their leader. It also shows that any rebellion against their country proved to be fatal and therefore, they were unable to break away. In Animal Farm, Orwell uses symbolism, irony, and imagery to convey the violence, corruption, and real life in Russia during this time through the animals on the farm.
The novel “Animal Farm” written by George Orwell revolves around the themes of dreams, hopes and plans. In the novel these themes clash with one another and bring out the turmoil in the novel. The writer has carefully chosen the appropriate characters which are helpful to bring out these themes.

This summer, I wanted to read a classic. I typically don’t enjoy reading classics for leisure, however, I wanted to step out of my “comfort zone”. As I began searching online for books, I stumbled on the popular Animal Farm. I had read this previously (in 6th grade), but I realized that I could not recall most of the plot and ideas, so I created a goal to go back and fill in the large gaps that stood in my memory.
In George Orwell's novel Animal Farm he writes a fairy tale with a meaning. In other words, it is about a bunch of animals living on a farm that decide to rebel against all humans starting with running their owner off by attack. This is compared to the Russian Revolution which is what I will be talking about in the paper. I will state which animal played which role and compare the animal to the person for whom they portray.
George Orwell's, Animal Farm, depicts how power can corrupt society. If one person receives too much power, one will most likely lead up to dictatorship. To exemplify this idea, Orwell uses a farm to represent a society and the animals inside to portray the people. Orwell's use of the pigs and animals are also an analogy that people sometimes act as 'mindless pigs';. Orwell makes the reader realize just how bad a society of dictatorship can really be.
