Orwell's Effective Use Of Animals As Characters.

George Orwell is the author of the book Animal Farm. In this book the main characters are animals, instead of the usual of humans being the main characters of books, even though the animals are personified. He was very clever when he made the characters because they actually hate humans, but they have human-like mannerisms. I just thought that he was clever in doing so.

For example, the pigs were a good choice to be the leaders, because pigs are very smart animals. They are also fat, and during those times being plump meant that you were wealthy and had power.

Also, boxer was a good choice to represent the working class, because horses are hardworking and strong animals.
