**//__5 key players in the Russian Revolution__//**  Leon Trotsky, was a key player and a leader of the Bolsheviks. He also got exiled by Stalin because he was more persuasive and caring. Joseph Stalin, Identical to Tsar Nicholas II in their wants and greediness and ruled with force and fear. Tsar Nicholas II, a cruel and oppressive leader that all Manor Farm history- Believed all man were evil. || For Orwell Old Major symbolizes Karl Marx. I can tell this because it was Karl's Idea to mutiny in the Russian Revolution like Old Major to mutiny to man. Old major is widely favored by the animals he is their leader till his tragic death before he got to do any other action like Karl Marx. || It symbolizes to me the free energy guy because he is similar because just like Karl Marx and Old Major by the fact that they all had a good idea that something held them back to produce or share. || Animal Farm history - He and Snowball were considered equal when the mutiny ended. || For Orwell, Napoleon symbolized Joseph Stalin. I know this because he started his own secret police with the nine dogs just like Stalin did in the Russian revolution. Also he over took the power completely misunderstanding Old Major's preaching that all animals should be equal. When anyone tried to revolt against Napoleon he did exactly what Stalin did by making the animals fess up to something that they didn't do at all and basically took their freedom of speech then he had his nine dogs pounce and tear off their necks. He also ran Snowball off the farm with his dogs then went against the seven commandments by sleeping on a human bed, drinking alcohol, wearing clothes, not treating the animals equally, and every other one after that. || It symbolizes for me all the villains in the Power Puff Girls that I watched as a little kid. It reminds me of them because like any villain they wanted to rule a certain place for all the wrong reasons like enslaving the citizens. Which is just like what Napoleon basically did in Animal farm. || Animal Farm History- Mollie is a traitor after the animals discover that she let a human pet her and she leaves the farm... never to be spoke of again. || For Orwell, Mollie represents the bourgeois class because she wasn't willing to sacrifice anything from her previous lifestyle just like the actual party. Like them she didn't take sides when the mutiny arrived and was in her manger sleeping away. Mollie is just an example of all the animals on the farm that don't have the courage to break the rules.Before she left the farm she was found letting a human pet her and before that she was found admiring a blue human hair ribbon on her neck. || She symbolizes for me a child who is struggling to keep his/her life the same when he/she's parents divorce. She reminds me of that because whenever she gets the chance she will pretend that nothing ever happened when something that really impacts a life happens. || Animal Farm History- When the windmill collapsed Napoleon blamed Snowball then denounced it. || For Orwell the windmill symbolized Stalin's "Five-Year-Plan". Obviously it failed just liked the one in Animal Farm. I think that since we know that Trotsky died in the Russian revolution after Stalin sentenced him to. I think that Snowball comes back and makes the nine dogs kill him or that someone turns him in. || For me the windmill is like a purely time consumed evil plan. Like how I mentioned Mojojojo earlier. It takes him a lot of free time to come up with all his evil plans that eventually fail like the windmill. || Animal Farm History- The original seven Commandments state that interacting with man is completely violates it. || What Whymper's Tour symbolized for Orwell was Collectivization. Collectivism is what happens in Animal Farm, they have one group in charge and that evidently is the pigs. For Orwell this also represented Collectivization, it is when something is organized by Collectivism. Also, in Stalin's Russia everything was okay when agriculture was failing and famine killed millions like in Animal farm but we don't know if it will kill millions yet. || It symbolized to me a Monarchy because a certain group of people rule over a bigger population, and that is what Collectivization and Collectivism is. But it also represents Totalitarianism because that what Napoleon is doing in animal farmfarm and he was being a dictator too. || Animal farm History - The sheep do more talking whenever it is Napoleon or Squealer speaks... They do their dirty work. || For Orwell they symbolized the massive propaganda machine that Stalin set up when he came into power. They obviously did all the convincing for them like propaganda normally does. They are taken advantage of by the pigs with catchy slogans and whips also with their large disadvantage of intelligence. || They symbolize a dog to me. Because like the sheep when we command them to sit they automatically sit, like with the catchy slogans. It is because we humans use their lack of intelligence to gain something, like obedience. || Animal farm history- one of the original seven commandments forbids any animal to consume alcohol. || This symbolized the intoxicating effects of power. It definitely makes sense because consuming alcohol is intoxicating just like too much power. || This symbolizes for me a bully because a bully has a lot of power over the rest of the kids he bullies and can collapse when it has too much power. ||

It is significant to him because when Moses talks about his Sugarcandy Mountain it somehow makes the animals love their farm even more and work even harder for Napoleon's selfish and greedy "needs". ||

Describe Squealer's coverup for this event. || Boxer is admired by the animals because he is the hardest worker on the farm and the oldest too.

Squealer's coverup was telling them that the veterinarian just forgot to change the sign on the truck. ||
 * 4. Analyze the symbolism of the knacker. || I think that it symbolized Stalin's betrayal for the hard workers in Russia. In Animal Far at the very beginning in Old Major's speech he told Boxer that the day his muscles are completely gone he is going to the slaughterhouse, and the pigs some how made that happen.

None of the other animals stepped in because they were afraid, unbelieving of their own senses, and completely shocked. ||
 * 6. Squealer makes a statement about the reason Napoleon has taken over making the decisions on the farm. He says that "sometimes you make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where would you be?" Explain the part in this philosophy played in life on the farm for the animals. || The part of this philosophy is that Napoleon makes all the decisions, and doesn't let the animals make their own mistakes in their lives. Also the weird part is that they don't want to make their own decisions and play along in Napoleon's little game. And then they threatened them that if they don't do what they say that they would be back in Jones' evil hands. ||
