Dear recipients of Animal Farm,
Thou shalt
rejoice over the revolution thou art fought to uphold! Although it gives me
great joy to hear about this marvelous plan, unfortunately it was ruined by a
few of our “fellow compadres”. First and
foremost, the origins of the revolution began with Old Major’s wise telling’s
of the old days and how man has slowly destroyed our land. With his guidance
and solemn strength, we animals were able to rise against our master, Farmer
Jones, and bring him down below our level. The aftermath of the revolution was
dimwittedly ruined by many of our comrades and I shall state only two of the matter
commencing with Napoleon.
Napoleon is a powerful character. He is very
demeaning, manipulative, and disturbingly corrupted. Napoleon’s part in the
downfall of the revolution was never shedding a single sweat to cooperate in
any contribution to the revolution. Instead, he accomplished factors for his
own sake. For example, in the training of the puppies. Napoleon used these poor
pups to create some sort of a “mini” military service. He was lazy, bullied the
others and educated himself rather than aid the others in understanding the
commandments of the new farm. Napoleon’s lack of belief in the revolution all
the while was more than enough to wreck a marvelous opportunity to reach the
goals of the revolution. Of course he is not the only character to help destroy
the revolution.
Squealer is another sort that aided the fall of the
revolution. He is of the confusing type. Squealer definitely lived up to his
name. He used his smarts to get the other uneducated animals confused, really confused.
Squealer always turned the words of the other pigs around for his better judgment
as well as to dumb the other animals more. Squealer did not aid anyone in the
revolution. His role was diminishing and confusing the other animals by
falsifying certain facts about the revolution. Such as changing the words of
the commandments or changing Napoleon’s words so the animals will be on his
side. Speech holds a vast amount of power. Squealer just so happened to expand his
vocal power a little too much.
In other words, both Napoleon and Squealer were two
of the major downfalls of the revolution. What do I think they should change to
produce a more positive outcome? I suggest you pigs work with each other and
the other animals on the farm to bring about a better revolution. There is a
lot of trust lacking and the recipe for a successful revolution requires trust.
Instead of only educating yourselves, switching the other’s words, and dumbing
the less intelligent animals, work together. Teamwork is the key to any
successful project whether it be building a corporate building or starting a
revolution. Take this into consideration and trust me, your revolution will
come out very successful!
Luck be with
you,
Briana Regalado
