    I think it would be kind of neat, if George Orwell were still alive of course, to read a sequel to Animal Farm that took place in Cuba and told of the overthrow of the Batista establishment and such. Think about that. What do you think it would be like? What kind of animal do you think would be used to represent Che and such?

    Che = an Elephant. Strong, determined, loyal, and capable of catching everyone's attention the moment it plods into the room. :biggrin:

    There's no elephants on a farm! Che would make a good dog.

    I still say an elephant. :biggrin:

    Nah, if I had to choose a proper farm animal, I would agree with you - a dog.

    I know they don't usually belong on a farm either, but I 'd make him a Lion, cause of the hair! Plus Lions are always said to be fearless leaders etc.

    On second thought, didnt he have the nickname "the pig" for a while? :biggrin:

    Batista has to be a human. That's how things must work out.

    In Animal Farm 2 there should not be another farm and the same types of animals as in the first, that would lack originality.

    The narrator wasn't a dog! The narrator was simply George Orwell! What, are you talking about the horrible movie version of the book? That was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. They added new things to it! That doesn't work! If that were an allegory for historical facts, then according to the movie Adolf Hitler and Czar Nicholas II had a party together when Karl Marx formed communism.

    I think Che would be a coyote. A coyote certainly isn't a farm animal, but they do hover around the periphery ( as does a guerrillero, no?).

    Oh please, Michael.

    Batista actually cared about his people, unlike Castro. He even made the trains run on time, and kept good relations with every other country, including the United States.

    There will never be another Animal Farm, and if it does, it will show the people being tired of the communist castro oppression.

    Guess who else had the trains running on time, Hitler and Mussolini. And those guys cared so much about their people, they tried to kill every one who wasn't like them, how thoughtful of them.

    Batista was America's little puppet ***** and nothing but part of their "Good Neighbor Policy" at its best. He took large cuts from casinos, and even let Mafia interests through Meyer Lansky turn Havana into a huge drug port.

    Batista was a fucking joke, a supporter of gangsters, thugs, puppet government, drug dealers and corrupt politicians.

    No wonder the people finally overthrew him.
