Throughout this topic, you have learned about Animal Farm and the allegorical parallel between the events on the farm and the Russian Revolution. What other events in history or today mirror the events that you have seen so far in Animal Farm?

Other than the Russian Revolution, select an event from history or the present that you believe parallels the allegory presented in Animal Farm. After conducting research on the event, compose a summary of the main points of the event. Your summary of the event should answer the 5W/H questions (who, what, when, where, why, and how of the event). Then, explain the parallel or similarity between this event and what you have read so far in Animal Farm. Your summary should include two to three paragraphs.

Possible events to research include:

• Napoleon's career in Europe;
• The rise of Hitler during WWII and the Holocaust;
• The cultural revolution in China during the mid- to later parts of the 20th century; or
  
• Another event of your choosing.
