parody
reversal
ridicule

Explanation:

Parody is a literary technique that imitates the style of a particular work or event for comic or satirical effect. In Animal Farm, George Orwell uses the animals and their actions to mimic (or parody) the real - life events of the Russian Revolution and the birth of the Soviet Union. Irony is a contrast between expectation and reality. Reversal is a change in the normal order or position. Ridicule is simply making fun of something in a more straightforward, less imitative way. Since Animal Farm mimics real - life events, parody is the most appropriate term.

Answer:

parody
