Animal Farm is like Uncle Tom's Cabin for communism.

I picked this book because it is a creative way to show people what the fate of Russia was going to become with Stalin's way of ruling would result in.

The author George Orwell wanted to show the common people that even if something is a good idea, the corrupted human nature will find a way to ruin it.

In the book, Mannor Farm had a rebellion from the animals inhabiting the farm. During this, the pigs take control. The pigs divide themselves from the other animals. The animals have a dream about a world where humans are not in control.

"And even the miserable lives we lead are not allowed to reach their natural span." ---Old Major

Fahrenheit 451 shows a world that would happen if the pigs went on to rule the world

In this book, the people work all day and don't get enough food to live a comfortable life, even though they think they are.

In Animal Farm, the animals are first oppressed by the human owner of the farm.

In Fahrenheit 451, the people are oppressed by the government and kept complacent so that they can stay in power.

In both books, oppression is present in major quantities

"What is more easily explained and natural? With schools turning out more runners, jumpers, rasers, tinkerers, grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and swimmers instead of examers, critics, knowers, and imaginative creators, the work intellectual, of course, became the swear word it deserved to be." --- Cap. Beaty

One common theme in the books is oppression

At the start of the book, Animal Farm, the animals are being cared for by farmer Jones,who was often drunk and who forgot to feed them one too many times. The animals, after breaking the food shed down and eating, threw Jones off the farm, becoming the only farm that was completely ruled by animals. The pigs took the role of leaders on the newly remanaged farm. After a while, one pig in particular took control. This pig, whose name is Napoleon, started to turn the farm into a totalitarian government, with him in charge. He began to overwork and starve the rest of the animals that weren't pigs or dogs. After a few years of this, the condition of the workforce drastically worsened to that of when they were under Jones' supervision.
