Introduction
It all started with a discussion between my partner and I. He told me how Animal Farm describes the Russian Revolution through animals. This caused me to actually read. This book is creatively written by George Orwell. He did the most amazing job using animal as people and things. It puts a fun twist on a serious situation and it helps you understand the Russian Revolution. This one book everyone has to read.
What is Moses the Raven symbolic for and what does that have to do with the Russian Revolution?
Moses the Raven went around and told everyone about Sugarcane Mountain. Sugarcane Mountain is just like heaven for humans but instead it is for animals. Moses the Raven is symbolic for religion. During the Russian Revolution religion was in the middle of a bunch of mess because Stalin didn't really agree with the churches. When Moses leaves right after Old Major dies, it represents when Stalin got into power and how religion left the country. It took a little while for Moses to come back. When he came back everyone was happy because they wanted to hear more about Sugarcane Mountain. They pay Moses in alcohol to make him stay. Napoleon learns to tolerate Moses. This shows how Russians couldn't live without religion and how they would do anything to keep it. Stalin just had to learn how to accept that.
