Animal Farm to the Real World

In the story Animal Farm by George Orwell, where all the animals escape the Manor Farm, after not being fed all day by Farmer Jones, and form their own farm, has allegorical meaning. For example it could represent when people in a country of group are either not being treated right or they don’t like the laws or expectations they will usually leave and try to form their own group. An example of this is if there was a group of friends and some of them felt like they weren’t being treated right they leave and form their own group of friends. Even though most stories about animals are written for children, this story represent many more complex situations and symbolizes much more then just talking animals. This story is mainly for older readers because to understand the symbolism and the meaning behind ever character the reader would have to pay close attention to detail.

  1. When the animals form a small group, who becomes the leader? Was it a successful solution? Good connections.
