tely "Animal Farm."At first everything seems to go well on the farm. The two most prominent leaders of the animals begin to make rules for the animals to follow. Napoleon and Snowball, who parallel the leadership of Stalin and Trotsky, begin to take over the leadership roles on the farm. The main theme of Animal Farm starts to become evident here. It is that in every society and organization, including the army or any business in the civilian world, leaders will likely abuse their power. This happened in communist Russia when Stalin eventually fought Trotsky for control of the government. Over time Stalin gained more support and had Trotsky banished from Russia. Under Stalin the Russian people were oppressed further despite his claims of freedom and liberty for those who cooperated. The same thing happens in Animal Farm. Napoleon and Snowball begin competing with each other over issues on the farm. Napoleon eventually forces Snowball to flee after calling him a traitor to the animal's cause. He gains influence over the other animals on the farm and begins to abuse his power. This is evident when he moves into farmer Jones' house, sleeps in his bed, and even wears his clothes. These were all things that Napoleon and the other pigs had deemed illegal for animals to do. Napoleon and the other pigs become more and more corrupt, until the pigs and humans are even eating and talking with each other. The rules that Napoleon and the pigs had help to establish were now ignored by them but still enforced on the other animals of the farm. By the end of the book Napoleon associates with a local farmer, Mr. Pilkington, and even reinstates the name of the farm from "Animal Farm" back to "Manor Farm." The book ends with all the animals gazing in at their leaders, the pigs, and their sworn enemies, the humans, eating and laughing together. While they stare the animals notice no difference between the two species. So, the book conclude...
