Read the excerpt from animal farm and the passage on the
history of the soviet union.
how does the conflict in the animal farm excerpt relate to
the events in the historical passage?
in glowing sentences he painted a picture of animal farm as
it might be when sordid labour was lifted from the animals
backs. his imagination had now run far beyond chalf-cutters
and turnip-slicers. electricity, he said, could operate
threshing machines, ploughs, harrows, rollers, and reapers
and binders, besides supplying every stall with its own
electric light, hot and cold water, and an electric heater. by
the time he had finished speaking, there was no doubt as to
which way the vote would go. but just at this moment
