George Orwell’s, Animal Farm inspired me to create allegorical story based on real world events about complete power through totalitarian leadership. My piece, “Slaughterhouse'', ridicules fascist soldiers being conscripted for war under these glorious stories, the soldiers looking for glory are sheep following a leader and being led to their deaths. Similarly, to Orwell's use of anthropomorphism, the sheep represent the Italian soldiers being conscripted for war and Mr Brown represents Benito Mussolini who, although he believed conscription was necessary, also cared deeply for his people.
