thought man was evil and anything that was not a animal was bad. His concept of Animalism was that- Animals should be free and they should benefit from there work. ||< Karl Marks- A political philosopher in the 1800's His beliefs turned into communism. He believed that the most effective society would have its citizens sharing work and goods equally. || Ben Franklin- He believed in a world without a king. A place of equal rights. That's why he reminds me of Karl Marks. || the more dangerous and intelligent of the two pigs. || Joseph Stalin- He was one of the Bolshevik revolutionaries who brought the October Revolution in Russia. He held the position of first General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union's Central Committee (that's a mouthful). And he was in power during the Great Purge, a period of repression which resulted in hundreds of thousands of people being executed. || Adolf Hitler- He had his army kill millions of people. He was a man of no remorse. That's why he reminds me of Joseph Stalin. || || U.S.S.R.- Was a single party state ruled by the communist party. After the death of Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin took over power. Just like the pigs did in "__Animal Farm__". || Russia- Animal Farm reminds me of Russia because it actually is based upon Russia!! And it sounds like Russia when Orwell described it. ||
 * ~ Character/Item/Event from Animal Farm ||~ What it symbolized for Orwell ||~ What it symbolized for me (in today's world) ||
 * Old Major- He was the most respected animal on the farm. He
 * Napoleon- a large, fierce-looking Berkshire pig, the only Berkshire on the farm. He's
 * Animal Farm- The name the animals gave the farm after the revolution. After Old Major's death the pigs "took over" the farm.
 * Beasts Of England- The song 'Beasts Of England' was the song of the revolution. The animals would sing it after every meeting. Meany of the animals found comfort in the song. The song was spread throughout the country side, so all the animals knew it by hart. || The Ideology of Communism- The communist system spread throughout all of the unions in the world. In some democratic countries (including the U.S.), socialist party's began to grow and socialist politicians began getting seats in legislatures. || The National Anthem- 'Beasts of England' reminds me of the National Anthem because when you go to a baseball game you always sing the Anthem. People found comfort in the Anthem after 9/11. It reminds people that there country is there to protect them and to remind people what people went through to earn there freedom. ||
 * The Executions- Napoleon killed all the animals that were "aligned" with Snowball. The animals thought that one of the commandments said that "No animal shall kill another animal" until Squealer said that it said "//without cause"// after it. || The Purges of 1936-38- The persecutions in the Soviet Union by Joseph Stalin. It was the killing of peasants, Red Army leadership, and "saboteurs". || Concentration Camps- The executions reminds me of concentration camps because of the killing that happened. The Nazis killed Jewish people for being Jewish. Napoleon killed the animals because the were supposedly aligned with Snowball. ||
 * Mollie-The horse that was attached to the human belongings (ribbons, sugar). She ran away to another farm so to have the ribbons and sugar back after the revolution. || Bourgeois Class- Many Russians were anti-Bolshevik and fought against them in the Civil War, however, the bourgeois often were happy enough to agree with the ideology so they didn’t have to make changes in their own lifestyle. When they were asked to make sacrifices, many fled to the West. || Freeloaders- The people who give nothing in return and take advantage of you until you kick them out. They usually just stay and expect you to put your life on hold for them. They remind me of the Bourgeois Class in Russia. ||
 * Benjamin: He was the donkey that was the oldest on the farm. He was ill tempered as well. In the beginning he didn't talk much. But became a good friend to Boxer. || Old Men: To Orwell, Benjamin represented old people. They are stubborn, and seldom work hard. There are a very important part of society, however. They remember the old times and reminisce about it. || Lazy People: Benjamin represents, to me, lazy people because he didn't do a whole lot on the farm. He was the oldest, yes. But he still didn't do a whole lot, just like lazy people. ||
