Alternative ending

Clover and Benjamin stood before the animals. Everyone felt angered and betrayed. Benjamin cleared his throat and began: "Comrades, we have entered this revolution for better and happier lives but this does not seem to be working doesn't it? The pigs, just like Mr Jones, have taken everything from us and we should never ever believe that Boxer will recover. He is dead. The pigs had sold him to the horse slaughterer or where would they have gotten the money to buy those wine? Sit down, think and reflect, for what reason would a hospital buy a van from a knacker! It's time we should realise what an ungrateful and wicked fellow Napoleon is! Boxer had worked so hard and dedicatedly for this farm! The pigs, who are extremely greedy and ignorant, have taken advantage of our integrity and dedication, modified the farm rules to their advantage, and gave all sorts of excuses for getting whatever they want from us. We must understand and accept the fact that they, like man, have became beasts of England! Is it not crystal clear comrades, that they have been living much easier and relaxing lives, while we work long hours, body and soul, to give them all that they have now? What I am trying to say now is that, we need a rebellion! In order for this suffering and unfairness to end, we must overthrow the pigs, those tyrants! The pigs are our enemy!"

At that moment, there was a tremendous uproar. Another rebellion had just begun.

My Animal Farm book review

George Orwells's short novel, "Animal Farm", can be seen as an historical analysis of the causes and failures or communism. It can also be seen as a good story that aims to prove that human nature and diversity prevents people from being equal and happy. It portrays leadership corruption in communism is a flaw in revolution.

The book tells a tragic story of how the tired and oppressed farm animals tried to rebel against Mr Jones, the farmer, and drive him out of the farm. They then attempted to rule the farm themselves, with the pigs, who were the brightest and laziest animals of them farm, being their leaders. Originally, there were 2 pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, who were the leaders of the farm. As these two were always at loggerheads, they could not get along and Snowball was finally driven out by fierce dogs which Napoleon had reared secretly. The rest of the story depicts how the greedy and manipulative pigs took advantage of the less intelligent animals and by manipulating the farm rules to their advantage, got everything they wanted, while the other animals suffered. Life for the animals where no different from the time when Mr Jones was still their "ruler".
