Month: March 2016

We live today aware of the struggles and problems that our world is facing, yet we do nothing to help. We do not speak up and offer a helping hand to those who need it. Those who are seeking refuge away from their war infected country, those who go on for days with out food and can drink only dirty water and those who suffer from terrible illness. We sit here knowing all of this, but we don’t stand up for it and this is what I want us all to do. I want everyone not just in this city, in this country but in this world

Snowball – Leon Trotsky.  Trotsky was exiled from Russia like Snowball was by Napoleon and his dogs. Trotsky also had power before he was exiled and was a key figure when the Czar was overthrown. Again Snowball was like a leader for the other animals on the farm and helped to get rid of Mr Jones.

Napoleon – Joseph Stalin. Stalin reminds me of Napoleon because they both had similar characteristics. They both weren’t good speakers, were ruthless and strong. Also, like Stalin, Napoleon was always determined to get his way. Neither of them would let someone else control them and wouldn’t let anyone have different opinions that would go against them.

Old Major – Karl Marx. I think that Karl Marx is Old Major since Karl Marx talked about communism and about leading a country. Old Major motivated the animals to overthrow Mr Jones and turned them into a communist estate. Old Major talked about communism to the other animals, but never said it was communism.

Mr Jones – Nicholas II. Nicholas II was the czar and was overthrown by Russia because he was a terrible leader and the people of Russia hated him. The animals hated Mr Jones and they got rid of him.

Boxer – Working class. Boxer always works and always followed Napoleon thinking he was always right, just like the working class people did for Stalin.

Animalism – Communism. The animals run under a communist estate, but they called it animalism.
