Entry #2

Are there are any current situations in the world that relate to thenovel? What are they, and how do they relate? Does the novel shed anylight on how current situations could be resolved or “fixed”?

In animal farm, an animal dictator(Napoleon) uses power for his own benefit. He tries to follow what he tried to get rid of in the beginning. Other animals suffer, but they think they are happy, because they think that they got freedom.

In this world many stories like this are always happening. For example, North Koreans think that they are happy and they think they are living a fair life even though they are starving. Howver, the reality is diffefrent. While North Koreans are frozen to death, Kim Jung ill is spending his holidays in his villa in Phuket. We see this always happening in the news; foreign workers working without proper payment or people selling children as slaves.

Animal Farm's ending made me more scary, because the problem was not solve. Napoleon did not die or he did not lose his power, but became stronger. The problem does not seem to have a solution. Since animals have no power to revolt against Napoleon.

This story was originally written to criticize Soviet Union's communism, and Stalin's dictatorship.
So this novel was originally connected with situation of this world at that time.
