Animal Farm
Easily the easiest read of the three; I really liked this the second time around. I had to read it in 9th grade, but we read it for English rather than history, so I thought it was just some crazy acid trip induced novella originally. Knowing what I know now, I think Orwell did an amazing job creating this metaphor, and couldn't put it down. Insofar as I could tell this time around, his main point was that no society could exist in which all could be 100% equal because there is no community in existence in which all ARE equal; be it mentally or physically. If no one is ACTUALLY equal, then there will always be dissent.

I really enjoyed Animal Farm as well. It explained communism in such a simple way that was easy to understand.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you it was a very easy read!I really liked it the second time too I understood it bette, maybe because i knew more about the time period? but overall i liked the book!
ReplyDeleteI agree I really enjoyed Animal Farm also because I think that it really gave the reader a better look to what a Communism society is. I agree that we can't really live in a society in which all are equal because their is power hungry people who will not let that happen.
ReplyDeleteI agree with saying this was an easy read and easy to follow. I also agree with you in saying that there is no way for everyone to be 100 percent equal. Someone or a few people will always have the upper hand
