Animal farm is a book written by George Orwell in 1945. The book contains a story of a Manor farm where all the animals got worn out of humans and obeying humans. Old boar called major tells in a secret meeting that humans shall not be tolerated anymore and after Major passes away pigs Snowball and Napoleon steps in charge and starts a Rebellion against human. This is a success and Manor farm gets a new name, Animal farm. Farm animals invent their own ism called Animalism in which all animals are equal and every animal that has 4 legs is good and what has 2 legs is bad. Soon the 7 commandments are developed. Everything is going great for a while and all the animals are enjoying from their freedom and own animal rights.

Farms true owner Mr. Jones tries to reclaim his land but fails and gets defeated by animals. After this two pigs in charge, Snowball and Napoleon, are getting their controversies and Napoleon gets rid of Snowball with dogs which Napoleon has taught since they were puppys. At this point the farm is heading straight to pigs tyranny when pigs are executing other animals and does whatever they like because their wisdom is superior compared to the other animals. Years pass and Animal farm is pretty much like it was in the beginning, only exception is that now the pigs are in charge but pigs are starting to seem a lot like a human beings. They wear clothes, drinks alcohol and carries whips with them and also the Animal farms name is changed back to Manor farm.

The main characters in this book are Napoleon, a fierce boar who’s not so much a talker but gets always his ideas through. Then there is Snowball, the reasonable pig who gets banished by Napoleon. Boxer was a great and muscular worker horse who got injured in working of a windmill so Napoleon sold him for money to buy whisky. There was also fat and small porker called Squealer who was always pleasing Napoleon.

The books events are inspired by Russian revolution and many of the characters are some well-known rulers for example Napoleon in the book is an allegory of Joseph Stalin.
