Animal Farm #2

are there are any current situations in the world that relate to the novel?
are they, and how do they relate? does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed"?

Napoleon is like the mini Kim Jung Il. Sometimes the story seems like the situation in North Korea where North Koreans would always sing their anthem and listen to it every day and hour. They should worship at what Kim Jung Il is doing and also happy that Kim Jung Il is their leader. Napoleon dictates over the other animals which show how North Korea’s government is like too. The animals have to work for the pigs and always be satisfied at what the pigs are doing to their stable. The pigs would do anything to the other animals that they distrust and do not like. This is the way North Korea would govern too. The government also threat for freedom that we have which also shows that in “Animal farm” too. In North Korea there is two groups. One group adores Kim Jung Il and one does not. The ones who do would be fed well and get a good enough life environment. The other side would be poor and would not be bothered at all. The novel does not shed light on current situation. In Animal Farm, in the end, it shows that the pig has been over taken by humans, but in our real life, this has happened to few countries. Some countries are still having the same governing and have not been overtaken. I guess sometimes the problem can be fixed, but sometimes it can not. It usually depends on who the person is and what can make them crush to the ground and never be back.
