Write an essay in which you argue the LEADING cause of the failed Animal Farm.
What ONE idea, tactic, attribute, policy, or even neglected practice [which was instituted
early on] inevitably resulted in the animal’s ironic self- directed-oppression?
CHOOSE ONE “CAUSE,” AND CHOOSE TWO CHARACTERS that you think best illustrate how
and why the animals were adversely affected.
