Orwell Meets Egypt

There are a few connections I see between Animal Farm and the situation in Egypt itself. One connection is the rebellion of the audience. In Egypt, they were against their ruler who was unfair to them and their government. In Animal Farm, the animals were rebelling against Mr. Jones, their evil leader, also referred to as "the man". Both the people of Egypt and the animals of Animal Farm did not like the way the leaders treated them and the rules they made that were unfair.

Another connection I saw between Animal Farm and Egypt was how they looked up to people they can't trust. For instance, in Animal Farm, the animals look up to Napoleon, who is not innocent at all. He is basically another tyrant who does not show his evil side. In Egypt, they also look up to someone who is not very innocent as well (can't think of the name of the person).

Other connections between Animal Farm and the upheaval in Egypt are being under military rule. The animals had to obey the seven commandments which did not give freedom to any animal living in Animal Farm. The government and the leaders of Egypt did the same type of thing, which led to rebellion of the people. In Animal Farm, the animals were the ones who were in charge. Also, this may not seem like a big connection but both are historical events. Animal Farm talked about communism and used animals to portray the soldiers or the people living in the Soviet union or who were in the army to fight in World War II. The situation with Egypt will be a historical moment and both this and Animal Farm share significant facts and the importance of history.
