Chapter 1 Vladimir Lenin Analysis
Chapter I
I think that this chapter represents me as the wise old boar that everybody on the farm loves and adores, just like I should be. I am the oldest and the founder of the revolution that is to come. I tell my story to my followers and they agree with me and sing Beasts of England for my passing, which is a symbol of hope and survival in the chapters to come. I think that I started the revolution on the farm with my death which is a symbol of what I did in my own life. I spent my lifetime working for a tyrant I was only hoping overthrow. I overthrew Nicholas Alexandrovich Romanov or Nicholas the 2nd and doing so I started the Russian Revolution which I did in real life.Friday, April 4, 2014
Chapter 2 Vladimir Lenin Analysis
Chapter II
In this chapter, I die in my sleep leaving with me the hope of taking the farm back from Mr. Jones, the tyrant who represents my political enemy the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas Alexandrovich Romanov or Nicholas the 2nd, who makes us work to receive nothing. I think that the animals preparing for the revolution for 3 months is well though out and will only make their plan of attack better than just lashing out at Jones at once. The animals call each other "Comrade" which shows that they treat each other equally for now. Their toughest opposition of the idea of a revolution is Moses the raven, who represents organized religion in which I am severely opposed to the idea of.Thursday, April 3, 2014
Chapter 3 Vladimir Lenin Analysis
Chapter III
The animals spend a laborious summer working in the fields in which I, Vladimir Lenin could not have been more proud of seeing as of the fact that I practically started this entire escapade that is a revolution. The pigs think of clever ways to use the humans tools the members of which including, Napoleon who represents Joseph Stalin, Snowball who represents Leon Trotsky, one of my disciples and followers throughout the book opposed Napoleon and paid the price for it. Snowball opposed Napoleon and was hurt and outcasted by everybody else on Animal Farm because he followed me and tried to make his country a better place. Napoleon rejected Snowball and his ideas because of the fact that they failed which connects to Stalin having Trotsky assassinated in Mexico.Wednesday, April 2, 2014

Chapter 5 Vladimir Lenin Analysis
Chapter V
In this chapter, Mollie seems to be some sort of representation of Russia's upper classes. But, since Orwell portrays her as a horse, the same animal that represents the working class horses, Boxer and Clover. Mollie may represent members of the working class that remained faithful to the Tsar, Mr. Jones. Winter is coming in this chapter and the animals are trying to prepare just like they tried to prepare for the revolution. Mollie has been spending time with on Pilkington's men, by which Pilkington represents the Leader of England, not representing anybody in particular, but merely the people of England.
