<Insert interesting title here>

On page 78, it says that the Humans grew to despise Animal Farm even more because it was prospering against their predictions. This seems like one of the few places in the book where actual fiction is used and nothing is based upon real-world events. I'm sure that nobody in the outside world hated the Soviet Union simply because it was prospering. Indeed, during Orwell's time, weren't people praising communist ideals? Isn't that the entire reason Orwell wrote the book, because so many people were, he believed, being misled by the Russians?
