Dear Animal farm/review

I would like to start by congratulating you all for your great effort in leading the rebellion and for your hard work after it. It’s a great pity that the revolution ended being a failure. Factors like selfishness and desire for power lead you all to fail; therefore, all of you are responsible for the collapse of the revolution; however, two of our comrades deeply ensured the failure with their actions, actions that result in the confusion of the main goals of the revolution since the beginning; as in the end, by giving hopes to the exploited animals.

The first and biggest animal responsible was Old Major who, even being an old sage pig, was not able to realize that the animals didn’t have his experience and knowledge to be able to deal with the revolution’s complications. He pursued the animals by talking about all the negative parts of their lives. In his speech he talked about how badly they lived and with what cruelty their lives were taken away from them. He also shared his thoughts about humans: “man is the only creature that consumes without producing” (Orwell 7-8) concluding that “All evils of this life of ours spring from the tyranny of human beings” (Orwell 9) meaning that without humans there would be pure happiness, but he forgot about preventing you from unjust acts and corruption as a result of your ignorance. The result was that the pigs, being the less ignorant animals, took control of the farm and used it for their own benefits, satisfing their desires, making the working hours longer for the rest of you and reducing your food rations as well, producing even worse conditions that in Mr. Jones’ times.

The second animal responsible was our comrade, Moses, the raven, because he didn’t put any effort into the revolution; he was careless about helping animals get their rights and he even had a mysterious amnesty with the pig leaders allowing him to hangout around without working but getting more benefits than the working animals. Beside breaking the law of all animas are equal by his behavior he also played an important role in undermining the revolution by given vain hopes to the animals about a better place: “up there, just on the other side of the dark cloud that you can see-there it lies Sugar Candy Mountain, that happy country where we poor animals shall rest for ever from our labours!” (Orwell 117). This argument kept our comrades from getting angry at the conditions the pigs made them live in. You submitted, allowing the pigs to get more corrupted until the point that animal equality disappeared. Your revolution failed for not being well organized and not being able to depend on you own labor but to ask for human help.

Comrades your revolution started without a strong organization that made it collapse later on because you educated only a part of the animals and kept the rest, which was majority, in ignorance. I think that the revolution would have reached its greatest aim if Old Major had educated the animals himself before telling them his thoughts that way the animals would had understood, and they would be able to be organized at creating a just society, as for Moses, he should not interfere at letting you get conscious about your real conditions instead of imposing an idea that gave you hopes holding you from fighting for animal rights.
