Letter To Animal Farm


Dear Animal Farm,
            I think we can safely say that the revolution was a failure and it was not any one person in particular who is to blame but rather every animal involved. The concept was just however the execution was flawed. Now, the pigs are seen as the evil ones being that they did completely betray the rest of the animals and develop a hierarchy amongst the animals and placed themselves at the top. However, the other animals are just as guilty for not standing their ground and voicing their opinions. The pigs were wrong for taking advantage of the less intelligent animals but the other animals let themselves be ruled which was just as wrong. All animals should have learned and should have stayed true to the commandments. For why are laws made if no one will learn, understand, obey, and enforce them.
            I want to say that the revolution would have worked out and peace could be had however, this is not the case. In all groups there will be one that outshines the rest and assumes leadership. However, the rest as a group, in order to insure an efficient and equal establishment must be unified not only with each other but also with the leader. Napoleon made it seem as though he spoke for the animals when in reality he owned you. He did not hear to your opinions and needs, he dictated them. You allowed yourself to be ruled by another instead of being the master of your own fate. Never allow that.    

                                                                        Happily from the other side of the fence,
