Animal Farm

I believe that the bourgeoisie is the farmer in the beginning of the book. He was in control of all the animals and they had to do as he said. In the end of the book the bourgeoisie was the pigs. They acted like men and forced the animals to listen to everything they had told them to do. The proletariats were all of the animals who had to follow the orders of someone else. In the beginning it was all of the animals including the pigs, but in the end it was all of the animals besides the pigs. In the end of the book the pigs ended up winning the struggle for power. This all follows the conflict theory. There was conflict over who could have the power of the farm. Without the conflict no power would have been gained.
Someone needs to have a small amount of control over the rest of the people, that is one role that needs to be carried out. If someone has a little more power over the rest of the people they will be able to make a deciding vote if there is a tie. This also allows them to stop arguments and other disagreements that take place. The people that carried this out in the book were the pigs. If you risked your life for another you were rewarded. Animals that saved someone in a battle were rewarded a metal. I believe at the end of the book the animals were not at a healthy balance. The pigs abused there powers, controlled everything that happened, and started acting as humans do. Do to them all of the animals were miserable once again. Having the pigs control everything was just as bad as having the farmer control it all.
