Answer 7

Consider a possible message, moral, or lesson of your story:
The need for a leader and/or someone to follow.

Explain how this theme relates to the story's situations and characters.
Explain how this theme might apply to all people, everywhere. For example, if a possible theme for your story was, "We sometimes think that we want something until we get it, and realize it is not what we wanted after all," then explain how this idea might apply to another situation outside of your story.

Thanks

Answer 14

This is also a great website

Though I will say [though it's common sense really] be careful not to just repeat what the websites say, otherwise you will end up as the same essay as everyone else... and that won't get you a good grade :)

Answer 17

i love how one of the animals is named Napoleon. god the irony ...

Answer 18

he was the pig who ran the farm, didn't he. and there was a horse who works himself to death

Answer 19

he was a boar he always got his way and in my opinion was the villain of this story!

Answer 20

@Trai7
The main point of the book is how Orwell introduces the concept of communism, and he uses the animals as a metaphor for dictatorship around the Russian Revolution (circa 1917 I think) and then touches on Stalin....

Answer 21

@sarahusher isnt there a french version of this book?

Answer 22

Yep there is

Answer 23

now i might i have to go find it and read it :O

Answer 24

I think there are two different versions as in Napoleon has different names, I think in one he is called 'Napoleon' and in another one he's called 'Cesar' after Caesar.....
Probably interesting to read and compare them...:)
