Animal Farm to the Real World

In the story Animal Farm by George Orwell, the animals who sought out taking over the farm has allegorical meaning. For example, they all thought it would be a good idea because it could be the start of a more suitable life. This represents the struggle for leadership such as the Stalin-era in Russia. The hard times in the book are true to life, such as Stalin's efforts to force Soviet farmers onto collective farms led to poverty caused many deaths in the country. The story is related to the Holocaust because Napoleon, like Adolf Hitler,attempted to gain power over the farm, which is a similar situation to the Holocaust.

Additionally, Old Major desired for the animals to be free of injustice. This also represents organizations such as PETA, who advocates for animals and their rights. Old Major’s dream started the whole animalism and rebellion, which is furthermore parallel to communism.  I believe every living thing should be treated with equality and not just be mistreated and slaughtered brutally. They should have advantages as well as humans do. Even though most stories about animals are written for children, they can have examples of allegory while being amusing to read at the same time.
