Animal Farm - Communism

    The novel, Animal Farm, was written by George Orwell and was published in 1946. The story is about a farm in England around the time of the Russian revolution. The animals on Manor Farm are irritated with the way they are being treated, so they start a revolution. The pigs, who were the smartest animals on the farm, took control of the farm while the other animals worked. The setting for Animal Farm is Manor Farm in England. When the animals were sick of being mistreated by the humans they unite together and chase the humans off.

The pigs did not work at all but lived in comfort and they lie to the animals and change the rules to accommodate themselves. The pigs have the animals do all the work and they take all the food.
