Question #2

Are there any current situations in the world that relate to the novel?

What are they, and how do they relate?

Does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved for "fixed"?

There is a current situation that relates to the novel in France. There was a ‘decolonization’ process done in Africa, oddly leaving the former colonies to depend on the French Bank for their monetary policymarking. After the process, the colonized were supposed to offer life in France. But actually, the French only gave them cheap houses. Also, French gave them very little money so they can keep things quiet. Well obviously, the immigrated people didn’t keep things quiet. They became what the people say ‘riots’. They bombed cars, fired places, made violent acts, and destroyed public goods. This is a rebellion made by the African workers. They worked hard to keep France open by corner shops and laborious industrial night shift. But France ignored their needs and just went with their own lives. In the novel, animals too worked their best to keep us humans going. They worked on the field, carried heavy things, provided us food and made Mr. and Mrs. Jones entertaining, but they never thought about them in their shoes. So the animals rebelled, wanting to be centered. I think both the African workers and animals felt left-behind or not acknowledged by others. For the Animal Farm, I think the best way to save all other poor animals from Napoleon and Squealer’s hand is to wish for the humans to take over that farm. Not by power, but by convincing them. Humans should tell what they did wrong to the animals except the pigs. They said all dogs died, so they can rebel against those fatty pigs. Humans need to make them understand their situation. If we succeed in persuading the animals, the cruel pigs will be persecuted, bringing peace to everyone else.
