George Orwell uses satire within Animal Farm to make Moses represent Rasputin and the Russian Orthodox church in Animal Farm. Our project, JonesHatesAnimalFarm.org, is the best method to represent and explore Moses. JonesHatesAnimalfarm.org clearly and accurately represents Moses by giving description of Moses’ wants, his love for Jones, and his hatred for the other animals .
