1st Post for Animal Farm.

-Are there any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? What are they, and how do they relate? Does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or fixed?

- Animal farm is about animals taking over their owner's farm and rule them by themselves. There are horses, pigs, chickens, sheep, donkeys, etc) in the farm. In this world, there were and still are countries like the story. In the story of Animal Farm, the pigs start by the 'thinkers' of the farm, but later on, they start to rule over the other animals, and change the rules they have made at the start of the 'revolution.' This was like Hitler and the Nazis. They started out to seem to help the Germans, they liked it. But later on, Hitler ruled the citizens. Also, North Korea and Kim-Jung-Il, he also later ruled. This could be because they were communists, but Hitler, like Old Major, encouraged, and gave pride to the citizens of Germany, like Major did to the other farm animals. In the book Animal Farm, the animals could have made a great place for themselves, if the pigs hadn't got greedy and messed the farm up.
