Aim: How does allegory drives the true meaning of Animal Farm?

Share Out:

Explain the allegorical purpose of Moses and Sugarcandy Mountain.

We begin to relate Sugarcandy Mountain to religion, specifically the Russian Orthodox, and how during the time of spreading of communism, people stop believing in religion when the government start taking place.

Group Work:

What really going on? Since we know Aniaml Farm  is an allegory to Russian Revolution, let’s analyze the happening on the farm and connect it to what Orwell really intended.
A. Allegory
B. Author’s Purpose

1. Milk and apples for the pig
Shows Social class gap, telling readers that communism isn’t working.
2. Napoleon taking the puppies away form Jessie & Bluebell
A leader taking the children away and re-educating them to go against their family and obey their leader.
3. Benjamin’s response: “Donkeys lives long time.”
4. The cat and Mollie skirting work, while Boxer works enough for three horses.
Some people are working more and some are working less but in the end they all end up with same benefit, showing how this is not fair.

Everyone discussed within their group
