Rough draft
The book Animal Farm by George Orwell was written as an allegory for the Russian Revolution. Throughout the story different animals represent one of the major parts or people of the Revolution. For example, Napoleon represented Joseph Stalin, Squealer represented the propaganda being used, and Boxer represented the working class during that time.

They thought he was making a really good point and believed him. They didn’t know the tactic he was using so they believed him despite what might’ve been true. Therefore, Squealer was trying to use propaganda against them since they didn’t know what he was
