Animals in the book "Animal Farm starts to lose hope because of the bad weather conditions that made it harder for them to work. Like the animals USSR and the peasant starts to give up when there becomes a bad weather condition. Like the Kolyma camps the weather maed it harsher for the peasants or workers to work. -Ryan T.

Also, the cause of both of the harsh work in the Russian Revolution and Animal Farm similar. The Kolyma Camp of the USSR were forced to work hard in such harsh conditions due to Stalin's greed of industrializing, and the reason why Napoleon requires the animals to work hard in such condition is also Napoleon's greed to finish the windmill. - Michelle Oh
