Animal Farm-Final Draft

Chloe Chiappetti

Dearest Animal Farm,

I hope by me taking the time to write this letter  gives  you the closure you all have been looking for deserve and have  a better understanding of why the revolution took place. Of course, we can identify and debate on events and actions that made the farm crumble and what had caused it to erupt. However, we can also identify characters responsible for the chaos on the Animal Farm. My purpose is to demonstrate the fault in the system itself. But I’m writing this letter not to  blame any  individual character for the failure of the revolution but just to make you aware of what you could have done to have prevented it

.All animals were to blame, some just more than others. For example, Boxer  continuously remained sincere hard worker but was simple minded and was not completely educated. Mollie continued to be interested only in personal comforts and had other interests than taking part and rebelling against the pigs. Benjamin preferred not to express  any of his views or opinions, which was unfortunate because with all the wisdom he obtained he never acted on it. If all the animals would have worked together and would have always had a voice and would have  demanded changes I feel that the revolution could have been saved. For instance, when Napoleon loses sight of what his obligations are to the animals on the farm then he becomes a dictator. But the animals are also partially responsible for their fate because they ignore the signs that indicate how dangerous Napoleon is. For example, the animals blindly believe Napoleon when he explains that Snowball is a traitor. The other animals blindly follow Napoleon's lead without question.

"ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL, BUT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS"- Orwell,.82 This quote stuck out to me more then the rest because the pigs were trying to convey that all animals are not really created equal because the pigs were better ("more equal") than the rest of the animals. " Originally they agreed with Old  Majors claim that all animals were equal but when he passed the pigs gained the control and felt they were superior to everyone else. What has happened here is that the pigs have elevated themselves to the position of their former masters, they now see themselves as superior, not equal, to the other animals. The idea of "more equal" is just silly propaganda meant to keep the "lower nature" animals dominated so they don't get the idea into their heads to overthrow their new leaders the same way that their new leaders overthrew their former masters, the humans. Napolean and the other pigs changed the rules to suit them as they began to look down on the other animals and consider themselves to be equal to humans - and they even started acting like humans. And at the end of the book, as the other animals looked around the table at the pigs' faces and the human faces, they couldn't tell the difference between them.

I hope this gives everyone a better understanding and in the future will be more cautious in whom they choose to rule and take control of the farm. If everyone was more communicative with all each other and willing to put in the effort to work together this could have all been avoided. I hope this letter finds you all well and in good spirits and  how each and everyone of you have the power to rebuild your society. Best Wishes!

Yours truly,
