rough draft

Although animal farm appears to be a simple fairy tale in reality its a satire of a difficult period in russian history.

Animal farm appears to be a simple story about animals rebelling ,its actually an allegory written by george orwell to connect to the issues in russia .It was written in 1945 to critizise communism and dictatorship.

In animal farm the way character respond to stories has a strong connection to their ability to survive .

Squealer takes stories that happened and twist them in his own way.

One example squealer twisting stories is the story of Boxers death. Squealer says the "van had been previously the property of a knacker and had been bought by a surgeon and it had not been painted over"He also claims he was with boxer at his death bed.

Another story that squeaker twisted was how Napolean was responsible for the wind milll. Snowball fills the animals with lies that the "plan snowball had drawn on the floor of the shed was stolen from Napolean's paper". Finally Finally squealer persuades the animals that the pigs needed apples and milk. Squealer says they needed the apples and milk to "preserve their health". Also "milk and apples have been proven to contain substances that helps the well being of a big". There for squealer twist stories to benefit his self and to survive.

    Boxer lets the stories make him by listening and obeying Napolean order.Boxer always says "Napoleans is always right"Boxer works harder even when he had just recovered from an injury.

For example after his hoof was still healing he refused to take even a day off work.He also made it point of honor that no one knew he was in pain. Boxer was lead to believe that snowball was responsible . Boxer replied by saying "but he was wounded"Squealer persuaded Boxer and then he responded "If comrade Napolean says it must be right"Boxer also believes that he would go and be able to retire but he was given to the knackers. For example Boxer says"He looked forward to the peaceful days that he  would spend in the corner of his pasture.He also intended to learn the rest of he alphabet for the remainder of his life.Boxer lets the stories and lies make him which lead to a tragic fate.

     Benjamin did not make stories nor did he believe in them.benjamin did believe that boxer was taken to a surgent. For example Benjamin says "fools fools do you not see what is written on the side of the van"Trying to alert the other animals of the lies being told. Also when it was time to vote for Napolean or Snowball Benjamin did not side with neither.For example "he refused to believe that food would become more plentiful or that the windmill would work" Finally when squealer changed the comandment Benjamin did not believe the lies."Benjamin nodded his muzzle with a knowing and seemed to understand but said nothing. Although Benjamin did not master the stories neither did he believe the stories.

   The ablility to understand stories has a major impact on survival in Animal Farm.

       Boxer squealer and Benjamin had different understanding of stories. Boxer believed every word,Benjamin did not believe and Squealer was able to manipulate the stories. All these differences effected each characters fate.

    since stories are so powerful society must be aware of how they interpret them.
