Quote: “Four legs good, two legs better”

Question: What does it take to change what you say and do?

Comment: At this point in the book many of the animals lives are changing as well as the way they live. Before this point in the book it was believed that changing the farm the animals lived in would be a lot easier then changing the animals themselfs. Although thought impossible the pigs were albe to change the sheep’s past outcry “four legs good, two legs bad.” Into it’s presnt form seemed impossible. The most surprising event that happened was that Benjamin, who once cared cared of nothing that the animals did or worried about, would now thwll the animals the horrible truth of what was going on. By doing this he read the one and only rule left after the seven previous ones that were now erased. In the place where there was seven commandments stood was the si ngle rule that said “all animals are equal, but some are more equal than than others.”

This site compared the many characters found in the book Animal Farm. With this source one can find out who Mr. Jones represented as well as Old Major and many more. This site has helped tremendously and has cleared up who I am reading about in other books.

The book I am reading is Animal Farm, a book on the Russian Revolution and was written by George Orwell, an English writer.

The book Animal Farm is a story of how animals strive for their independence from there human master. After finally overcoming there human master they begin to live a life made by animals for animals. The animals have two main leaders, Snowball (a pig who wishes to advance the farm and make life easier for the animals) and Napoleon (another pig who wish for the finer things in life and will stop and nothing to make it just for only him and other pigs). Eventually Napoleon’s greedy nature causes him to declare Snowball a traitor and chases him out of the farm, his reasoning for this is most likely to not share the leading of the other animals. Soon Napoleon and the other pigs get out of hand in leading the animals that they become just like the humans they once loathed.

The book is based off of the Russian Revolution which took place in 1917. The reson for this revolution was to rid there country of the current government.

What did the windmill in the book represent in the actual Russian Revolution and how did it affect the revolution.
