Animal Farm by George Orwell The story of Animal Farm is set on a farm, somewhere in England. The farm animals are owned by the "cruel" and "evil" farmer Mr. Jones. Old Major, a wise pig and one of the oldest animals on the farm, requests a secret meeting to take place later that night. During the meeting, Old Major tells the animals about a dream he recently had. In his dream, he sees a revolution taking place against Mr. Jones and the freedom of all animals. Old Major points out to the animals that the cause of their miserable existence is the tyranny of man, who is a lazy and useless creature who steals the fruits of animals for his own gain. He encourages the animals to band together to defeat the enemy and teaches them "Beasts of England," the song that becomes their revolutionary anthem and rallying cry. But just before his dream becomes reality, three days later Old Major dies in his sleep. The speech gives the animals a new vision of life and they feel that it is their duty to make his dream come true. And so the farm animal revolution begins.Mr. Jones is ousted from the farm and the animals take over. Three pigs, Napoleon, Squealer and Snowball emerge as leaders. These pigs create a system called "Animalism" along with a set of rules called The Seven Commandments which read as follows: Anything that goes on two legs is an enemy. Anything that walks on four legs or has wings is a friend. wear clothes. No animal should sleep in a bed. No animal should drink alcohol. No animal should kill another animal. All animals are created equal. The Animalism regime starts out very encouragingly, with all the animals working vigorously to improve the farm and enjoying the feeling... middle of paper... all agreeing on such leadership. It would be a challenge to try to convince everyone to be equal. For example, doctors are paid the same as a street cleaner. But I think pure communism could be achieved with some exceptions. I think some of the third world countries, or countries like Mexico and India, would probably work well. Because of such low wages and the bad economy, if they were to resort to pure communism, I think they would benefit. They will no longer have to worry about discrimination based on economic class. On the other hand, I believe that the United States will never convert to such a regime. The reason is that money talks, and for most people here in America, their world revolves around money. For them to give up their resources and be the same as everyone else would mean no longer having a reason to live.
