In George Orwell's political satire book, Animal Farm, the minor character Moses is the especial pet of Mr. Jones who can be described as a mysterious yet hopeful raven. If he were to wear shoes, they would reflect the hope he brings by being a modern sneaker with bright colors. Upon first impression, Moses appears to be a dark, mysterious, lazy, and untrustworthy bird. So a darker colored, slick shoe would be most appropriate. Except, in this case, through his tales of Sugarcandy Mountain, an afterlife free of oppression and hunger for animals, he becomes this lighthearted, inspiring, kind character.

Depicted on the shoe itself would be candy, sweets, and neon colors. On one side of the shoe there would be the Sugarcandy mountain line with a golden path, covered with gumdrops, leading to the heavenly mountains. All throughout the land you would see sweet treats such as candy, ice cream, cake, and much more.

" For the rest of the shoe, sprinkles would be scattered and the quote " He claimed to know of the existence of a mysterious country called Sugarcandy Mountain, to which all animals went when they died. " Since this is what he is remembered for. In short, if the character Moses were to have a shoe designed after him, it would consist of bright colors, a sneaker shoe, and Sugarcandy Mountain. Although altogether, Moses doesn’t seem to be a main character, he leaves an inspiring and religious impact on the suffering animals who are desperate for some type of

One could easily argue Hermes 's reputation as a trickster for self gratification based on deceiving god or helping mankind connects with one of the underlining motifs of the story.

The fact that she not only likes to try on her elder sisters “shoes” but to also strut in them represents how the child wishes to draw attention to herself and is trying to seek the attention and approval of her elder sister. This shows that this young juvenile is easily influenced by even the most petty and minuscule choices and decisions that her sibling had made.
