Writing task

Animal Farm is not just the story of some animals that took over a farm; it is also the story of the rise of Communism and the Russian Revolution or, other totalitarian system. Your task will be to write a formal letter to a newspaper’s editor that tells of the changes Animal Farm undergoes following Old Major’s death. You’ll base what happens to the farm on what happened to the *film we saw in class or on the chapter 1 Old major’s speech.

Dear editor,

I am writing to you about what happened after the death of Old Major at the farm.

After the death of Old Major, the farm started changing into a type of totalitarian system, because old major said, "man is the only real enemy we have" and with that, Napoleon started persuading the animals that they had to attack the humans and eventually he gained power. Consequently he starts making all the things he wanted.

Napoleon had a similar government to a totalitarian system, because almost all of the animals were not happy with the things that Napoleon did, but if they did not follow him, they could be killed like the hens. Also Napoleon was like a God while the others lived in a very poor way, Napoleon lived in huge house while the others lived in the barn.

Another thing that shows the differences after Old Majors death is that, Old Major said: "all the habits of human beings are evil, that shows that he did what he wanted to do, he lived like a human while the others like a homeless, also he had food and drink as if he was the most important "person" in the world, while the other animals did not have food sometimes.

Finally, the animal farm started with a noble cause, but after the death of Old Major, with Napoleon the idea changed to a type of totalitarian system, where you had to do what the ruler said, because if you did not obey them you could be killed, something that is totally different from the first idea.
