Three Pigs in Animal Farm

By reading "Animal Farm" I found that many of the animals in it represent a unique and different person involved in the Russian Revolution. The animals' personalities and actions match up with the personalities of the real people. I think seeing the people as animals in kind of strange but also kind of interesting. I like how the author wrote this book. How he is bringing a real situation from history and making it into a book with animals.

The three little pigs in Animal Farm represent important people in the Revolution. The pig, Squealer represents Trotsky because he supports Napoleon and plans to be the future leader just like Trotsky did.  Another pig, Snowball represents Lenin because Lenin was the first leader. Snowball is very intelligent and persuasive, just like Trotsky. The last pig, Napoleon, represents Stalin because Napoleon is controlling and military-like just like Stalin was in the Russian Revolution. 

 The pigs were nicer in the beginning of the book and now they are getting meaner. Also in the beginning of the book they were strong followers of Old Major's but now they are trying to take over Old Major's place because they want to be the leaders. I think the pigs are very sneaky. They are much like Trotsky, Lenin and Napoleon.
