Are there are any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? What are they, and how do they relate? Does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed"?
North Korea's situation right now relates to the novel very well. In Animal Farm, there was no government, but there was a sense of dictatorship and communism. Napolean, malicious pig, ruled all the animals in the farm. Squealor, who was like the secretary of Napolean, helped him make commandments. Commandments had more advantage to the pigs than other animals. Napolean slept on "human" beds while other animals slept in the cold farm. The laboring animals barely had food. The animals shared their food equally among themselves. The "dictator" or Napolean had plenty of food too eat. He had the best shelter, best food, and most power. The animals couldn't disobey Napolean for he was the brain of the farm.
North Korea government has a mixture of communism and dictatorship of one man. Kim Jong Il who is the president of North Korea, dictates the country. Everyone gets paid equally regarding their amount of work. Like Napolean, Kim Jong Il makes all the important decisions. He's the "man". Kim Jong Il gets all the respect from people.
Napolean and Kim Jong Il, both are dictators who take advantage of their power for themselves. There are many people in North Korea who are starving because of poverty. In Animal Farm, animals sometimes couldn't eat because there weren't any more food. They had to do back-breaking work in return for food as small as a corn. People and animals suffer because of there two people. Napolean and Kim Jong Il, both have power over the lives of their people. They are dangerous.
