classes left. What Russia got working was to make the people think that the prospect of loss of potential improvements in conditions of life of the here and now, could only be attained by stimulating labor to unprecedented efforts.George Orwells Animal Farm gives an excellent representation of the events that happened around the time he wrote the book. Throughout the book Orwell sides with the animals but against the pigs. The pigs distort the view of revolution to meet their selfish needs just as the communist leaders did with Marxism. By using characters people could sympathize with, Orwell brought the evils of tyranny to the attention of the world. It is ironic that the downfall of the windmill the animals tried to construct several times throughout the book can represent the downfall of the Soviet government. Orwell died long before this took place. Once Russia, the communists changed the countrys name to the Soviet Union, but after its collapse more recently, the country is back to Russia. In the book, the farm was titled Manor Farm and changed to Animal Farm. In the end, Napoleon converts it back to The Manor Farm. Even after the revolution and all the changes made, the animals reverted back to the same way of life as before it all started. The slogan touted by the sheep-- four legs good, two legs badwas changed to four legs good, two legs better. And the underlying theme of the book satirizing tyranny comes out to say that in the end not everyone will be treated equal: All Animals Are Created Equal But Some Are Created More Equal Than Others....
