ANIMAL FARM

George Orwell, author of the highly acclaimed Animal Farm, wrote this fable in hope of informing not only children, but also the population as a whole, of his views on the Russian Revolution and the rise of communism in Russia. The fable, a literary composition conveying a moral truth, clearly guides the readers through the steps and outcome of the Russian Revolution. But instead of the battle being fought and won on the streets of Russia, Orwell chooses to portray the happenings of the Russian Revolution on a farm based during the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution.

Snowball believes in a continued revolution: he argues that in order to defend Animal Farm, the animals should stir up rebellions in other farms throughout England. He continues striving for the betterment of the Animal Farm.

He tries to accomplish this through many failed committees, like the Clean Tails League for the cows.

Snowball is a fictional pig in the book Animal Farm written by George Orwell.

“4 legs good,2 legs bad!”

Snowball writes the first version of the Seven Commandments

BU :T

Snowball actively works to change Animal Farm, and although not all of his ideas work very efficiently, he is shown to have genuinely good intentions.

Napoleon vs. Snowball

Napoleon is shown to have been Snowball's enemy from the very start of the revolution, disagreeing with almost all of Snowball's ideas. For example, when Snowball proposes to inspire more revolutions on other farms in order to protect Animal Farm (similar to Trotsky's idea of Permanent Revolution), Napoleon proposes learning to use firearms and other more advanced weapons. When Snowball actively organizes the animals into groups of committees, Napoleon simply states that the education of the young is all that was needed.

• Orwell describes Snowball as "quicker in speech and more inventive" than Napoleon.

• "These two disagreed at every point disagreement was possible." G.Orwell

• Soon the differences of opinion between them become too great to deal with, so Napoleon decides that Snowball must be eliminated.

Snowball must leave the farm!

Bad times…

…In the end of the Orwell's tale, AnimalFarm is much worse a place for the common animals then it had been previous to the revolution.

Snowball

This is how history recorded the Russian Revolution, and Orwell illustrated the political aspects of this in the fable Animal Farm.

The food is scarce, the leadership is harsh and unruly, the worldload is huge and the living conditions for the common animals have changed for the worse. The pigs, the leaders of Animal Farm, celebrate their victory and their entrance into high-society, as the other animals still on the farm look at them.

• He was the one who organised the animals into various committees: "the Egg Production Committee for the hens, the Clean Tails League for the cows, ... the Whiter Wool Movement for the sheep", and various others. He also planed the defense of the farm against the humans which proved useful when Jones and his friends tried to retake the farm.

Because of ambition,desire for absolute power and infatuation…Animal Farm bacame ruined and the beautiful mind of Snowball was covered by dust.
