@Hollahollara Snowball was the pig who lead the revolt, but got betrayed and exiled by Napoleon.

@Hollahollara @GrumpyOldNurse I also voted Snowball even though I never read the book. I just really like polls.

@Hollahollara @GrumpyOldNurse I need to re-read. Maybe this is @GrumpyOldNurse's plan to remind us to pick up the book again.

@GrumpyOldNurse I just read it this weekend for the first time. I think it's better than 1984.

@anonymoose @GrumpyOldNurse It's much easier to get Animal Farm, it's not subtle.. Most people misread 1984, not realizing the constantly shifting blame is the very heart of the system, not a symptom.

@anonymoose much better, IMHO! Not that I have a tendency to deep read children's literature, or anything...

@LittleSis no one's picked Squealer yet. Don't you want to be a master of propaganda?

@AbolishPregnancyNapoleon is StalinSquealer is the Ministry of TruthMoses is religion Mollie is the petite bourgeoisie Boxer is the honorable, faithful proletariat (he gets betrayed and sold to the glue factory, of course) Benjamin is the cynical, world weary donkey and Boxer's bffSnowball is Leon Trotsky

@GrumpyOldNurse If you're not in the elite, you are Boxer. We are all Boxer.

@GrumpyOldNurse @KeepTakingTheSoma MollieThe vain, flighty mare who pulls Mr. Jones’s carriage. Mollie craves the attention of human beings and loves being groomed and pampered. She has a difficult time with her new life on Animal Farm, as she misses wearing ribbons in her mane and eating sugar cubes. She represents the petit bourgeoisie that fled from Russia a few years after the Russian Revolution.I chose this.... I thought this was the mare character who was Boxer's friend.

@GrumpyOldNurse They said every tyrant has a sycophant, but no one identifies as poor squealer.

@polarisera right?! No masters of propaganda her, I guess. Just Napoleon.Interestingly, no one said Mr Jones, either. So, Stalin, but no Romanov or Goebbels. Interesting...
