Democracy

The political orientation of those who favor government by the people or by their elected representatives.

The book associates the animal farm to a democracy. A democracy is the political orientation of those who favor government by the people or by their elected representatives. The animals are unhappy with their owner so the animals decide that they have to make a change. After doing so, everything changes and so does the beliefs of the leaders of the animal farm. The leaders can’t agree on anything their government starts to fall apart. They become rivals of their own beliefs fixated not upon what matters but what benefits themselves. Their intentions of creating a government and system where all animals are equal slowly fall into pieces that crumbled the efforts of all the true believers and hard workers of the animal farm.
The animals are unhappy mainly with their owner who worked them hard and never feed them enough. They were tried of his alcoholic ways and the mistreatment of him. Old major who had a dream decide he wanted to share his dream with his fellow animals in hope of a change. After sharing his thought and aspirations with the other animals he knew a change would transpire between the animals. Days after that the major died; leaving only his dream for inspiration. The moment finally came to handle their owner and put him in his place. They rebelled against their kicking him off the farm and forming their own which would be ran much differently then the humans ran it.
After kicking the owner out of the farm the animals decide to have their own democracy that they would follow. Over joyed at what they had accomplished they began to work. First coming up with rules that were not even sensible. Ever animal was made equal to one another. The first thing that would eventually separate them was the equality between the animals. Even though they agreed that all animals would be equal it was simply impossible to have everyone at the same power of one another. As the democracy started to transform ideas became different. As time past debates became heated. While one leader had ideas of a selfless person who wanted to make the animals to be happy. The other leader who was all for himself. Turning every animal in the animal farm against Snowball. Their democracy much like our own, turning everything that their democracy stood for and went against it. At first the government fought for what they called equality and rebelled against the beliefs of human. Our government is the same way taking the American dream and making it a nightmare for Americans same as the leader of the animal farm did to the animals.
Their government turned up side down with opinions that flared hate sending their democracy and people in rage over a system that was suppose to equal all animals and work them lesser than what the owner had them. Now it was worse having a dictator who was a selfless hearted animal that only cared about himself much like our President.
