"Animal Farm"

Introduction "Animal Farm" is a symbolical political satire in which animals take the place of humans. These animals can talk and are just as intelligent as humans. They learn to read and each type of animal a different aspect of humanity. (Ex.: Pigs- Politicians; Horses- Laborers; Sheep- Gullible People; etc. ) This book shows how a government that is set up to serve the people turns against them, just like communism did to the Russian people. …

…you could become what you initially rebelled against. My Thoughts I enjoyed this book tremendously because it showed the problems with communism very clearly. The government may have been set up to serve the animals, but when a corrupt leader came along he pressed the animals into basically slavery for his own power and glory. The government then served the ruling class not the rest. This book shows the true nature of a totalitarian government.
