Animal Farm: Why are we going to read this?
AllegorySatire

Remember: a symbol gives additional meaning to things.
Heart = love
Brain = intelligence
An allegory is a story that has additional meaning throughout the entire plot. Everything
actually means more and the reader or the audience must figure it out.

Tsar

Let's look at the government of Russia in
1905. Who are you?
10
Meanwhile, the rest of the world (like England and the US) was thriving under industrialization
In 1905, the economy was run under feudalism. What does that mean again?
11
If you are the Tsar…You are the king
You make the rules and laws of the country
You don’t get paid because you don’t have to pay for things
You use money to improve the country and its citizens
12
You live here…
If you are the Tsar…Your neighborhood is…
13
If you are Nobility…Your job is to collect
money from the workers
You make $433,000 a month
You give your opinion to help make rules and laws.
You own fancy things
14
This is also your neighborhood…
If you are Nobility…
You live here…
15
If you are Middle Class..You are doctors,
lawyers, teachers, nurses, professors, etc.
You have nice homes
Some of you live in the same neighborhood as the nobility
You make $400,000 a year
16
You work in the fields
If you are the Proletariat…You make $20 a month
17
There is no running water
If you are proletariat…Your children work too
18
If you are Proletariat…There are 16 people
to an apartment
6 people share a room
You are the workers of the country
If it was not for you, no one would eat
19
Tsarism is a Monarchy: government ruled by king or queen and passed down through family.Who does this type of government benefit? Is it fair?
20
Some people had other ideas to end the inequalityKarl Marx, in 1847,
wrote his Manifesto.
He argued that the workers should revolt and that property and wealth should be redistributed fairly.
People should contribute what they could and, in return, receive enough to support themselves.
21
Karl Marx hoped for a Utopian society without any inequality
“Utopia” is a term for an ideal society.
In Greek, this word means
“no place.”
What do YOU think the Greek meaning forshadows?
22
Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto
23
In 1917, the workers did upriseThe communist Bolshevik
party eventually took power.
The Bolsheviks were led by Vladimir Lenin. Russia
became the USSR.
This new government, led by Lenin, owns everything, but provide education, healthcare, food, etc. to the people.
24
Lenin and the Bolshevic Party
25
After the revolution…
26
You and your family were shot and killed in your basement
The entire family was told they were going to take a family picture
The girls did not die so they were stabbed
They still did not die so then they were shot in the head
If you are the Tsar…
Sorry!!!
27
You had to get a job…You neighborhood has
been set on fire
You work 14 hours a day
Your wife had to sell all her jewelry for $2
You now make $30 a month but you get free healthcare and education
If you are Nobility…
28
You work the same job…Your life doesn’t change
much
You have the same job but you only work 6 hours a day
You now make $30 a month but you get free healthcare and education
If you are Middle Class…
29
You have the same job but with some changes…You now work only 14
hours a day
You have no choices over rules and laws still but you love your new ruler
You now make $30 a month but you get free healthcare and education
If you are the Proletariat…
30
Lenin was so loved by the people that he was embalmed and put on display after his death in 1924.
31
In 1924, people could go see him and say goodbye
His brain was removed and saved… They can still do that
now, too. Yep, he’s still there!
32
After Lenin’s death, Joseph Stalin and Leon Trotsky struggled over who should be in power.
Even though it was no longer a Monarchy, Russian citizens still did not get to choose their leader.
Stalin vs. Trotsky
33
Can you guess which is Stalin and which is Trostsky? Who won and who lost?
34
Young Stalin
Trotsky lost. He was exiled to Mexico and eventually assassinated by a Soviet agent.
Militant Stalin
35
Stalin ruled the Soviet Union from 1929 until his death in 1953.
He was responsible for the USSR becoming a major industrial power.
He also killed or imprisoned millions of people in the great “purges.”
Millions of people who were suspected of being a threat to the party were executed or exiled to labor camps
Is this the Utopia they dreamed of?
36
The End?The Utopian
dream was
not achieved.
Many people
were worse
off under
Soviet rule
than they
had been
under Tsarist
rule.
37
The USSR became a communist society where people were all equal but had no choices and made no decisions. The government made all the decisions. Whether you worked 3 hours or worked 12 hours you still made the same amount. You do not choose how much you work.
What are the benefits to this type of government? What are the down sides to this government? Is it fair?
