    Purpose:
    Animal Farm is an amazing book written by George Orwell. In this book he
    criticizes the events of the Russian Revolution. In the novella, the animals form
    an association, they create a new society with their respective rules, once united
    all the animals of the farm plan the revolution against their oppressor Mr. Jones.
    In this task, my aim is to explore Napoleon and Snowball character, and their
    thinking about the corruption and the form which got the majority of votes, for
    being the maximum leader of all animals. This aim is to be achieved through a
    Speech, expressing my opinion about that, because in this book the author
    represent one part of our society for this I asks a questions about these.
    The reason for that Napoleon to lay a trap for Snowball, is because he wanted
    the absolutely power of the farm, here we can observe the corruption by
    Napoleon; likewise because Snowball was very smart and good proposal that
    their like a more animals of the farm.
    For that, this written assignment’s register is quite semi-formal for all society in
    the world that they will read my speech, seems of many asks of me like for
    example, why outline the thinking of corruption of socialist ideals in the Soviet
    Union? , also why the pig represents a two socialist ideals and why were leaders
    of the farm? Through of this speech my position about the theme of book.
    TASK

    The Corruption of socialist animalist ideals

    Nowadays people seek to entertain themselves in different ways, whether in


    games, movies, or in books. But as we know that now society has changed a lot
    and are interested in issues that are important to them or that draws much
    attention. For this, authors look for themes that attract attention of the readers,
    for this reason they choose subjects like: the love, the ambition, the corruption,
    the political, the social reality, etc. This is the case of George Orwell, who through
    the book Animal Farm embodies the reality of a certain context evidenced in the
    past, in this book, Orwell shows topics such as: corruption, this is evidenced by
    the characterization of two characters of history, of the Russian revolution. This
    characters represent to two dictators of the universal history, Napoleon is who
    search the way of win and have the absolutely power. For this I why outline the
    thinking of corruption of socialist ideals in the Soviet Union? , also why the pig
    represents a two socialist ideals and why were leaders of the farm?
    Orwell wrote this book, based on a real-life event, transformed into a fiction story,
    although we know or revise something of Universal History, we remember the
    event of the Russian revolution, where many dictators existed. In this case we
    will take two characters from the book, Snowball and Napoleon, these characters
    were animals, specifically pigs that on the farm were considered as the maximum
    leaders of all (as). If good is true the story stared when Old Major was the leader
    of all the animals of farm, but that a few days died , leaving all animals with the
    idea of making a rebellion against human beings. In the other hand, you will think
    that the animals select to other animal for be the new leader, however as all the
    pigs were considered who the smart of all the animals, Snowball and Napoleon
    who continue to run the entire estate and continue the idea of rebellion against
    human beings, later that rebellion is carried out and Mr. Jones and his peons are
    removed from the farm, during which they dictate Seven rules, But over time
    Napoleon wanted more and more absolute power; And when they all work,
    Napoleon only saw how others worked, but he never did anything, he also sets
    Snowball in a trap, he takes over the whole farm, changes some rules to do what
    he wants to do.
    Orwell stresses how powerful the use of language and propaganda can be when
    used to control society. One of the first times that the propaganda is used by pigs
    can be seen when the animals discover that the milk of the cows was being mixed
    in the puree of pigs and that the apples that fell in the orchard had to be collected
    and given to the Pigs. The animals had assumed they would be equally
    distributed so they began to move. The pigs quickly hushed this up and put the
    other animal's minds on the rest by sending in Squealer, the main propagandist
    throughout history.
    In conclusion, the book animal farm is one satire of the didactors of the Russian
    revolution, also Orwell describes the corruption of Animalist ideals by those in
    power. Because Animal Farm is not so much to condemn tyranny or despotism
    as to accuse the hideous hypocrisy of the tyrannies that are based on, and owe
    their initial power to, the ideologies of liberation and equality when the animals
    realize the rebellion.
