To the editor,
The other day I read your article related to the book "Animal farm" written by George Owell, and the relation you gave with the different totalitarian systems, especially the Soviet Union and I found it really interesting. But you forgot to inform about something, what happens after Old Major's death. The revolution began with ideas similar to the ones of the Russian revolution, but over, time the "leaders" of the revolution began to behave corruptly, leading the population to hunger, over explotation and poor quality of life. The same thing that happened in Russia after the revolution.
One of the main points in Old Major's speech was the relation animals should have with humans. What happens when he dies is that his successors begin to relate with human (thing that they shouldn't do) and adopt their customs. As Old Major says:
"And remember, comrades, your resolution must never flatter. No argument must lead you astray. Never listen when they tell you that Man and the animals have common interest (...) It is all lies."
This can be related to what happened after the initial commotion, it "recessed" and the population began to impoverish, the same thing that happened to the farm.
You also forgot that the animals represented certain leaders of totalitarian governments. For example that Old Major represented Lenin or that Napoleon represented Stalin.
Anyway, my main concern was that you forgot what happened with the farm after Old Major's death. I was hoping that you could write that in the future.
