How does Animal Farm connect to real life?

Although Animal Farm has to deal with animals it also relates to human life. This is how, In Animal Farm they do not like to be mistreated by their owner as all of us do. All of the character in this book feel that they have been mistreated by Mr.Jones who is the drunk owner for all these animals. Old major is the character that I relate to most. He has told all the animals about Utopia which is a perfect world that they would not have to worry about someone telling them what to do. The reason I have a connection with Old major is because, he has a vision of a perfect world and when people or the animals in his case that they believe in themselves. I am like that because I don't like people that aren't confident with what they have. Also, when they don't believe that they can do something that they have done before but just don't have the confidence to do it again.
When I listen to Old major I think about all the ways that the world could be different in good and worse ways. He also thinks that the animals can take over, and power over Mr.Jones, and that is they way that I like to think. The pig believes that he can take all the things from Mr.Jones and turn it all around into something that he can over power and overcome. I think some of us or most of us would like to believe that some day we can overpower some of the people that once thought that they could overpower us.
