Animal Farm Task 1

George Orwell is the author of many books. Animal Farm was the only book he had written that had made him any money at all. Now, it has become a classic literature.

George Orwell began writing Animal Farm in 1943, and it wasn't an easy job for him at all. He felt that he ought to write the book to make people aware of the truth about Communism and dictatorships.

Communism is a structure that promotes the establishment of a classless, stateless society based on common ownership of the means of production.

It was George Orwell's experience in the Spanish Civil War that gave Orwell one of his major incentives to write Animal Farm. In Spain, he came to study the Communists accounts of what had happened during that war, and saw how they twisted and turned the truth to suit their own purposes. Some characters in the novel were also born out of these experiences by Orwell.

Animal Farm was to be Orwell's alarm call to Britain and the world. When he sits down to write a book, he writes it for reasons ... because there is some lie that he wants to expose, some fact that he wants to draw attention to, and his main concern is to get a hearing.

He wrote the story, the book, through a rebellion led by some pigs on a farm because he thought that he wanted to find a way that was simple enough to be understood by everyone, and not cause any conflicts.It struck Orwell that if only animals became aware of their power and strength we should have no power over them, and that we exploit animals in very much the same way as the rich exploit the working classes.

We can see the reason why he chose to write his political story in the form of an animal fable.

Animal Farm is very relevant to today's society. Children, students, are the oppressed, and adults, teachers, coaches are the oppressors. Another example is employees of a company and the boss of the company.

To wrap things up, George Orwell wrote to express his views, to show some facts to the world. He uses animals in a farm as they are very similar to us in today's human's society.
