	George Orwell and the Politics of Animal Farm
		Animal Farm is constructed on a circular basis to illustrate the futility of the revolution.
		He uses it to direct the animals' attention away from the growing shortages and inadequacies on the farm, and the animals ignorantly concentrate all their efforts on building the windmill.
		Animalism, Communism, and Fascism are all illusions which are used by the pigs as a means of satisfying their greed and lust for power.

	Snowball (Animal Farm) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Together with the pig Napoleon, he leads the animals' revolt against the human farmer, but is driven away from the farm (a comparison to the Russian government) by his former comrade Napoleon in the later part of the story.
		Snowball's exile was similar to that of Leon Trotsky's.
		Snowball is also blamed for, among other things, urging the humans during the Battle of the Cowshed to attack the animals, replacing the corn seeds with the seeds of weeds, and other horrible things.

		Snowball also originates some committees, such as one to clean the cows or to educate the rabbits and although some of the committees fail, there’s some success and all the animals improve their reading.
		Snowball and the Animal Farm are prepared, the animals fight bravely and the humans are quickly defeated.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: Animal Farm Study Guide - Full Summary and Analysis
		Animal Farm is a satire on the Russian Revolution, and is one of the best 20th-century examples of allegory, an extended form of metaphor in which objects and persons symbolize figures that exist outside the text.
		The scene (as is all of Animal Farm) is narrated from the unquestioning animals' point of view, and the narrator only remarks that Napoleon "kept [the puppies] in such seclusion that the rest of the farm soon forgot their existence".
		The animals are honestly not as smart as the pigs, so it is with earnest and gullible faith that they have withstood the destruction of their revolutionary ideals and the advent of the totalitarian regime.

		Under the leadership of the pigs, farm labor is organized and divided among the animals, and a list of seven commandments is established - deemed unalterable - under which all animals on the farm would adhere.
		Animal Farm is replete with subtle and not so-subtle lessons on blind conformity and the misuse of power.

	ANIMAL FARM by George Orwell: Chapter 4
		When time passed and the animals had evidently not starved to death, Frederick and Pilkington changed their tune and began to talk of the terrible wickedness that now flourished on Animal Farm.
		Rumours of a wonderful farm, where the human beings had been turned out and the animals managed their own affairs, continued to circulate in vague and distorted forms, and throughout that year a wave of rebelliousness ran through the countryside.

	Animal Farm: a new version on US television
		First of all, here is a summary of the plot as conceived by Orwell: One night, on a farm in which the animals are cruelly oppressed and exploited by the farmer, an old boar, “Old Major” (representing both Marx and Lenin), speaks to the other farm animals.
		These two pigs initiate all the animal's important schemes (although Snowball insists that through systematic schooling all animals are educated to the level of the cleverest animals, suggesting Lenin's proposition that every cook must be brought to the position of being able to administer the State).
		Snowball starts the building of a windmill to provide the farm with electricity (the five-year plan for industrialisation), but Napoleon opposes this and wants to maintain emphasis on agriculture.

	Flak Magazine: Review of Snowball's Chance, 1.17.03
		In "Snowball's Chance," novelist John Reed retells Orwell's classic "Animal Farm" in which the banished pig Snowball (the Trotskyite in Orwell's novel) returns from exile as a brash capitalist intent on turning the farm into a superficially democratic, money-making franchise.
		After arriving unannounced at the farm and assuring the morally bankrupt socialist leaders and disinterested farm animals he means no harm, Snowball peacefully wrests control of the farm by selling himself as a liberal reformist.
		As other animals from the woodlands begin to hear about Animal Farm's prosperity they begin to emigrate, taking over the lowliest jobs and living in the old barn while the original farm animals begin to move to the outlying areas, letting the core of the farm become a crime-riddled slum.
