Sample Response:
George Orwell wrote an allegory of the Russian
Revolution, and used the character of Old Major to
explore the philosophy of Karl Marx. Old Major states
many of Marx's ideas, such as a belief in equality and in
the elimination of class divisions. Both Old Major and
Marx also advocate for rebellion to end the oppression of
workers. Marx says that the means of production should
be held in common. Similarly, Old Major believes that the
animals could run the farm together. The main difference
between them is that Marx writes about people, while
Major speaks about animals. Both call for a more just
society.
