The passive voice formed by Subject + verb to be+Past Participle. The object in the active voice becomes the subject of the passive voice and the subject of the active voice is either the object in the passive voice or is not mentioned.  

The passive voice is used when we don't know the performer of the action. Example: “The house was built in 1884” in this case we don't know who built the house.

The passive voice is used when the focus is on the receiver of the action. Example: “Five people were killed in a car accident”, in this case the focus is on “five people”

The passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. Example: “The car was stolen”, in this case the emphasis is on the fact that the car was stolen and not on who stole it.  

So the three options that apply to the uses of the passive voice are:

when the performer of the action is unknown  

when you want to emphasize the action directly  

when you want to emphasize the receiver of the action

Write a paragraph to provide an example of how Animal Farm is an allegory for the Russian Revolution. Consider the characters an
valina [46]

Animal Farm was written by George Orwell as an allegory for the Russian Revolution.

First of all, all characters from this short novel represent a person, idea or movement. For example, Mr. Jones represented Czar Nicholas II, and he had the same characteristics as the Czar. Mr. Jones was irresponsible cruel and not fit for his duty.

Other examples are Old Major and Snowball. Old Major represented Karl Marx who was the creator of communism, and consequently in the story Old Major taught "animalism". Snowball represented Leon Tolstoy, one of the leaders of the October Revolution and a very smart and idealistic person, consequently Snowball led the revolution at the farm and had the same personal characteristics as Tolstoy.

Finally, Napoleon represented Joseph Stalin who was corrupt, selfish and only cared for power.

The Russian Revolution was a process that overthrew the Czar and established Lenin's regime. This situation is directly mirrored in the story because the same happens, there's a revolution and subsequently a new hard and unfair regime is established.

Pap is a drunk and is careless.

Why is he a drunk, because he gets "drunk as a fiddler".

Why is he careless, because that does not sound very safe to "clumb out on to the porch-roof and slid down a stanchion". Also he sounds kind of dumb to sell a coat for forty-rod whisky to get drunk. "traded his new coat for a jug of forty-rod".
