Animal Farm
In the end of the book Animal Farm, the pigs, leg by Napoleon, took over the farm. First, the pigs started walking on their hind legs, then they started wearing human clothing. The pigs started using whips. All of the other animals didn't get enough food and the pigs took all the animal's food. Napoleon traded with the humans, against the 7 commandments, which the pigs changed all of them. Napoleon then had a dinner with the humans, there he changed the name of Animal Farm back to its original name, Manor Farm. The animals could not even see the difference between the animals and the humans.

Animal Farm
What causes a revolt against a leader? In the book Animal Farm, Old Major, an old pig, has a dream of a perfect world without humans ruling animals across Europe. He persuades the other animals to revolt against the humans. If the animals revolt, they can not be like the humans, or they will just be like the other ruler. Also, they can not eat animals, how are they be able to get food? They want to revolt against the humans, because the animals only are given enough food to just get by, when they get old, they get sold or killed brutally. The pigs are slaughtered and eaten after they are too old. The eggs get taken from the hens and eaten for the humans. The dog, when it gets old, a rock is tied around its neck and thrown into a lake. The day that the horse dies, the horse is chopped up and either eaten or sold in the market. If the animals revolt, they can not be like the humans, or they will just be like the other ruler. Also, they can not eat animals, how are they be able to get food? Old Major leads this revolt against the humans. Similarly, in my own life, I have seen kids want to "revolt" against teachers or parents to create a "perfect" or better world, but that never happens. This brutal cycle of life is necessary for life.
