Book Portfolio on Animal Farm



I read the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, I think this book represents the russian revolution, it talks about communism. Animal Farm reconnizes the power of the dictator Joseph Stalin. Stalin is represented by the pig Napoloen. Stalin was known for leading the soviet union. Also he help defeat the nazi's in world war II. Snowball represented Leon Trotsky. Leon Trotsky was known for being Stalins oppononet. Also he was made to leave the soviet union during the great purge. Boxer would represent the working class of people, he does this by being a hard worker having dedication, and having loyalty.

(picture below, the russia revolution, Bolshevik armypicture 1, pic. 2 Archduke Franz)happened in 1917 the febuary revolution of 1917 was lead to the fall of Tsar Nicholas. It estabilshed the democtatic republic. Leon Trotsky gave out leaders thinking they would join the provisional government though they went to the red guard. Vladmir Lenin made ten policies. Lead by Vladmir Lenin the workers over threw the provinsional Government and brought a major dramatic change in the socail life of Russians.


The plot of animal farm would be old major tells the farm animals he had a dream that all animals live together with no human beings to oppress or control them. The animals think of

Major’s vision with great happyness and are excited. Though Major dies three younger pigs take controll they would be Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer. Snowball takes controll of having to teach the animals how to read and napoleon takes a group of puppies and educates them on the subject of animalism. The animals defeat Mr. Jones and run them off his land. Then when he returns the animals defeat him agian they are to call this battle, battle of the cowshed. They then try to build an electricity runned windmill, though a big storm made the windmill topple. In the end Napoleon starts to act more like a human and so do all the pigs, they walk and drink like humans also then Napoleon becomes part of the actull farmer society.
