Animal Farm
By. George Orwell
Animal Farm is about animals on a farm, duh. The animals can also talk. There are pigs, sheep, horses, dogs, cows, and lots more. The basic main characters are the pigs, Napoleon and Snowball. Napoleon and Snow ball are brothers, and they disagree about everything. Then there are the humans, Mr. Jones, the farmer, Mrs. Jones, his wife, and all of their men. The book starts with Moses, the wise, old pig, telling all the animals that they should start a rebellion against Jones and his men. Everyone listens to Moses, so one day when Jones and his men were chasing them with whips, they charged, and drove the humans out of the farm. Now that the humans were gone, the animals ruled the farm. They named it Animal Farm. There were 7 commandments including, 4 legs good, 2 legs bad, or no animal can sleep in a bed, or no animal will wear human clothes, and all animals are equal.
Over time Moses died, Snowball took charge, and the animals were put to work. Napoleon must of been jealous of Snowball or something, because he had the dogs attack Snowball and drive him out of the farm. He was never heard from again. Napoleon was a terrible leader but no one said anything. Every time something went missing, or broke, he blamed Snowball, saying he had come back and ruined it. The pigs were soon put in charge of every one and everything, saying that they were in charge because they were smarter. Soon enough though, they started sleeping in side, walking on 2 legs, and wearing Mr. Joneses clothes. They even changed the commandments. Now it was one that said, all animals are equal, but some animals are better.
I cant say any more, its would ruin the book. I read this book for Lit. class, and it was really good. I would recommend this boo to anyone who likes fiction books and talking animals.
If i were to rate this book, i would give it a 5 out of 5. It was that good

I love this description, I liked Animal Farm as well. I would also add that the book is an Allegory which means everything including the characters, setting, plot, etc. symbolizes something. In this case, it is a symbol of the Russian Revolution.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to read Animal Farm! I've always thought that there must be some concepts throughout the story that are confusing or that take deep thinking to fully understand. Is this true? Was there any moments you found yourself confused about? What about moments you had to really think about to understand?
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds pretty good. I've heard about this book before. Is it a book where there are a lot of very deep parts, like, where you had to apply your critical thinking skills to understand it? Or is it just a book about animals with no metaphorical meaning behind it? Also, for the blog, maybe you could include a bit more of an actual review of the book and not just a summary?
ReplyDeleteKnowing your history would help with understanding this book Each character (mostly the pigs) represent real people and every event in the book represents something that happened in real life. It is based on when Karl Marx introduced the idea of communism. Try reading this book after researching this history and it will make a lot more sense.
