|| Old Major represents Karl Marx to Orwell because they both believed in everyone doing a bit of work and they all get a share of the profit... a couple words to describe it are communism or socialism. || To me Old Major represents the man who invented wikipedia because he probably believes that everyone should contribute and give free information. || || Napoleon represents Joseph Stalin to Orwell because Neither of them were as smart as everyone and they were corrupt, cruel, and manipulative. And they didn't follow there leader's ideas. || the people Napoleon represent for me are the drug lords. they're probably not good speakers and they are cruel, corrupt, and manipulative. || || Leon Trotsky- Leon was second in command during the Russian revolution. After the war he was still an important character in Russia. But just like Snowball, His differences with Stalin would destroy him. || Who this represents to me is in the Warriors series, Tigerclaw. He was second in command and was very respected but his differences with the leader would drive him mad and start his downfall. || || What this represented for Orwell was the Purges of 1936-38. This was a series of campains and prosecutions ran by Joseph Stalin. || What this represents to me is is when parents get their kids in trouble time and time again. || || Who this represented for Orwell was Tsar Nicholas ii. He was the emperor of Russia but during his rein He watched as his country fell into economic and military demise. || What this represents for me is Obama. (not to be racist or anything like that...) because a lot of economic problems were made real to me during his term in office. ||
