About this resource
A rebellion begins with promises of equality, but the language used to describe those promises changes as power becomes concentrated. Read the rules, speeches and repeated slogans as actions with consequences. The story offers a way to study allegory and political persuasion while keeping an argument grounded in the narrative. Compare what the animals are told with what happens to them, and explain how that distance guides the reader’s judgement.
