This is a must-read for everyone.
What happens when a group of farm animals seize control of their farm and try to create a just and fair society for animals? This social and political allegory by George Orwell answers that question. Animal Farm is a short, situational novel about animals. The animals decide that they need to work together to create a perfect life, led by a Berkshire Boar named Napoleon. They start running their own farm and establish a set of rules and mottos for themselves, such as “whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy,” “no animal shall wear clothes,” and “all animals are equal.” However, the pigs subtly begin to alter the rules to benefit themselves, introducing the infamous line, “all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.”
This funny and witty political and social commentary on communism and its implementation in our society remains as funny, relevant, and terrifying as ever. This is a must-read for everyone.
