Animal Farm

             of the animals and who came home one night, left the gate .
             open and the animals rebelled. Czar Nicholas was a very .
             weak man who treated his people similar to how Farmer Jones .
             treated his animals. The Czar made his working class people .
             very mad with the way he wielded his authority and preached .
             all the time, and the people suffered and finally demanded .
             reform by rebelling. The Czar saidThe law will .
             henceforward be respected and obeyed not only by the nation .
             but also the authority that rules it - and that the law .
             would stand above the changing views of the individual .
             instruments of the supreme power. (Pares 420).
             The animal Napoleon can be compared as a character .
             representing Stalin in Russia. Both were very mean looking, .
             didn-t talk very much but always got what they wanted .
             through force. In one part of the book Napoleon charged the .
             dogs on Snowball, another animal. Stalin became the Soviet .
             Leader after the death of Lenin. He was underestimated by .
             his opponents who always became his victims, and he had one .
             of the most ruthless, regimes in history. In was not till .
             very many years later that the world found out about the .
             many deaths that Stalin created in Russia during the .
             Revolution. For almost 50 years the world thought that the .
             Nazis had done the killing in Russia, when in fact it was .
             Stalin. (Imse 2).
             The last characters that are symbolic of each other .
             are the animal Snowball with the Russian leader Trotsky. .
             Snowball was very enthusiastic and was a leader who .
             organized the defense of the farm. He gave speeches and .
             instructions but was not very beneficial. All the other .
             animals liked him, but he was outsmarted by Napoleon. .
             Trotsky and Stalin-s relationship was very much like .
             Snowball-s and Napoleons. Trotsky organized the Red Army .
             and gave speeches and everyone in Russia thought he would .
             win power over Stalin. After Lenin-s death Trotsky lost .
             all his power to Stalin and was expelled from the communist .
