Animal Farm
This book is a symbol about rebellions of not just the Russians but of other nations as
well. There are many links on to what the author wants between the characters of Animal Farm
and the real life people. Old major who is the old white boar that passes away early in the book is
very closely linked to Vladimir Lenin who was a political theorist, and a big part in the
revolution of Russia. The dream that old major was speaking to everyone about could be known
as leninism, leninism is political theories that were spread by Vladimir. Mr. lenin passed away
somewhat early in the rebellion due to poor health.

There's a Morn Demon...

Theres a morn demon. Hes of gauze and light,
The happy one with golden hair.
Like skies, is blue his tunics airy flood,
All in a play of brilliants, fair.
But like through azures sometimes look dark nights,
Thus through his face sometimes looks something horrid,
Something dark-red through his curls shining gold,
Through his soft voice forgotten tempests blasts.
-Aleksandr

Blok

This piece of poetry is related to the book because of how it talks about there being an

enemy of all of them, in this poem he refers to them as the devil. They hate the people they are
rioting against just as the animals hate the humans who they are rioting against.

Rise brothers sunward to freedom

Rise brothers, sunward to freedom!
Up, brothers, up to the light!
Out of the dark past behind us,
March for the future is bright.
Slowly the life of millions,
Out of the night comes birth,
Till all the surge of your longing,
Whelms o'er the Heavens and the
Earth
Now, brothers, hands clasped together,
Death with a laught we put by!
Holy is this, our last struggle,
Ending our slavery for aye.
-Unknown
This song is from the russian revolution it talks about the summary of the revolution I
believe it talk how they are rising together to defeat their enemy and they known that it will be
hard, and a long jurney but they will be able to do it together just as the animals all needed to
band together in fighting and in working. The animals struggled plenty of times but they always
managed to overcome their struggles.
Anastasia

Carlson-Hicks3

This movie is similar to the book because in the movie Anastasia is escaping from the
russian communists who are trying to execute their family. She escapes there grasps just as the
humans escape the grasps of the animals in the book Animal Farm that is why these two things
are connected.

Hitler's reign is very closely related to the book because it is all based upon him his
ability to persuade enough power to revolt against everyone else. Just as napoleon was able to
persuade enough power such as boxer and the other animals into following him.
