Animal Farm

 I read Animal Farm back in 10th grade. I really enjoyed reading it again because I love how George Orwell used talking animals on a farm and related them to Napoleon, Stalin, Snowball, and Leon Trotsky. In the end, the moral is that if you give power and responsibility to only a few, it will only hold up for so long before "absolute power, corrupts absolutely". When someone has too much power they will begin to abuse the privilege to gain more power.  Reading about the different animals and there characters throughout the story made my understanding of what is was like during the Russian Revolution a lot better. I look forward to talking more about Animal Farm in class on Tuesday.
