Need help with homework regarding Animal Farm

I don't have the book at hand,
but if u read it, then just write down what it says about controlling them.

One example would be how propaganda in the form of slogans was used. For specific examples of that, you'll have to read the book.

Nice try, though. :-)

Animal farm is a parody of the Russian Revolution and the Communist dictatorship which followed it. You need to think about the human farmer as the usurped Czar, and the eventual aspirations of the pigs to emulate him by controlling information, communication and resources.

Sc, it has to do with Communism

I know it has to do with Communism. Whilst we read it in class, my teacher would explain to us what something symbolised. Like Moses, for example. He represented the Russian Orthodox Church, if I remember correctly.

I've read it over and over. I really just need someone to explain the task to me. Still, thanks to those who have answered so far. I really appreciated it

Try dividing "control" into physical, mental and social and note the types and shifts between these as the story unfolds.

Thank you! That's very helpful

I'd respond, Sc, "through Communism"

We'll try but specifically what task

Many of us old folk take each posting literally, need a bit more detailed q

Tho I give Fres much credit for his interpretation

Oh okay. Hehe, sorry. Basically, the question we were given was how is the control of the animals described in Animal Farm. We just have to write a couple of paragraphs with our answers. The problem is I don't know how exactly to answer, that is, until now.
Anyway thanks again

You're most welcome Sc and sorry I couldn't be of more help

Not at all! Your tips were very helpful!
