My Animal Farm Allegory Table

|| Karl Marx was a political philosopher in the 1800s. His beliefs ideas and concepts turned into what we know today as socialism and communism. He believed that the most effective society would have its citizens sharing equally in both the work and the goods that the work produces. || A Piece of paper-With a piece of paper you are free to do anything with it that you please. I say that a piece of paper is close in relation to Karl Marx. ||
 * ~ Character/Item/Event from animal farm ||~ What is symbolized for Orwell ||~ What it symbolizes for me(in today's world) ||
 * Old Major -The most respected animal on the farm.He believed man was terrible,anything not animal was bad.Concept animalism-animals should be free and the work they do should benefit the animals.
 * Clover -a stout loving mare getting close to mid life.She attended the meetings and believed in animalism.

Boxer - a enormous 18 hands high horse with a white stripe down his nose that made him look stupid. He was respected all throughout the farm for his tremendous amount of work. || Russian Proletariat-The working class. Clover is always taking care of Boxer,which is her hardworking companion.Boxer was always a hard worker and his motto was, "I will work harder". || Construction Workers-Almost everyday construction workers wake up and go to work. My dad is a construction worker and he works harder every day.That is why construction worker are like the Russian Proletariat. || mother has more power over the nest and kicks the bird out of the nest. || || Stalin's Five Year Plan- This plan was supposed to help the proletariat which was the Russian middle class. Just like the windmill, his plans always failed. || To me this symbolizes technology. Lots of technology are designed to help people like the elevator was designed to make it easier for handicap people to be able to go to different floors of buildings . || || The Russian Flag- a red flag with a gold hammer and sickle. In Russia red represents beautiful but, on the flag the red represents the blood that has been spilled by workers and farmers. The Hammer and sickle represent socialism and communism. || To me this symbolizes binary code. Both of these flags look normal but really they have messages hidden that the items symbolize much like the ones and zeros that binary code has to hide a message. || || The Battle of Stalingrad- The Nazis invaded the Russian city of Stalingrad in world war II. It is one of the bloodiest battles in the history of warfare. In the first battle, Germany lost. Just like when the farmers lost. || To me this symbolizes the American Revolution because Britain attacked and lost against America and just like the battle of Stalingrad, it was very bloody. ||
 * Snowball -Good at speech and very inventive,but he didn't have a lot of character.[[image:http://edu.glogster.com/media/4/35/1/40/35014024.jpg]] || Leo Trotsky-Leo was one of the original revolutionaries. Later when Joseph Stalin rose to power,Trotsky became one of his biggest enemies.He was expelled from the Politburo in 1925 just like snowball is exiled from the farm.[[image:http://i2.listal.com/image/348902/600full-leon-trotsky.jpg width="184" height="233"]] || Birds-When a baby bird is born it stays in the nest. Eventually as it gets older,the
 * The Windmill - designed to help the animals with everyday chores around the farm.
 * The Flag - The flag is green representing the green fields of England. The flag has a white hoof and horn representing the Republic of Animals that would arise when the human race was overthrown.
 * The Battle of the Windmill- the farmers barge on to the farm and they try to destroy the windmill that all of the animals especially Boxer have worked so hard on.
