I have been asked to do a poster showing how The Russian Revolution is related to the Animal Farm book. I need to know how the book is related to: Allegory, Fable, Symbolism, Satire and Theme. If any of you have any :idea: (ideas), please reply A.S.A.P!
Thanks!:D

Presumably you mean the Revolution of 1917.
Check out their artwork of the time its quite significant and obviously the visual format you you need to follow.{google around for examples,they did lots of posters}.You'll need a slogan ,probably '4 legs good 2 legs bad' ,
Yes its all there in the book ,but to compress it into a poster means you cant really comment too deeply unless your teacher requires a commentary .(if so take a pencil and after you have looked up the definition of each title ,go through ,underlining a couple of examples of each and list them in columns under each heading on a seperate piece of A4
As far as the poster goes ,I'd draw 2 angular multilayer sandwiches,made out of strips ,one for pigs ,one for man ,one for other animals, and design them next to each other reversing the order of whose on top ('other animals' always on the bottom.) In the srtips I'd draw the characters or a slice /fragment of them in the revolutionary angular style of the period.
Use lots of primary colours RED BLACK and YELLOW.
I'm really into this now ,would you like me to do it (joke)?
good luck.

This image here (http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00004RM85.03.LZZZZZZZ.jpg) certainly symbolizes something to me....(greed?)
Ask yourself what Orwell was trying to say with Animal Farm, and which types the animals themselves represent.
George Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution is an intimate part of our contemporary culture. Animal Farm ... is an account of the bold struggle that transforms Mr. Jones' Manor Farm into Animal Farm-a wholly democratic society built on the credo that All Animals Are Created Equal. Out of their cleverness, the pigs Napoleon, Squealer and Snowball emerge as leaders of the new community in a subtle evolution that bears an insidious familiarity. The climax is the brutal betrayal of the faithful horse Boxer, when totalitarian rule is re-established with the bloodstained postscript to the founding slogan: But Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others...
