By George Orwell.
I remember reading this many many years ago as a regular "fun" read only to realize later in Literature class that Animal Farm was written as a satire against an authoritarian government.
The animals at the Manor Farm overthrow their human owner and take over with a spirit of equality. But very soon, disputes emerge within the different animals and we come to realize how power can ruin an ideal society and its setup.
How many of you have read this? Please share.
I remember reading Animal Farm in the ninth grade, I believe. And I enjoyed it. Nowadays students are reading it in middle school.
I enjoyed the book. It does examine the role of an authoritative government and the corruption/injustices inflicted by those in power.
I'm usually not into reading animal books but this book was unique. The animals in this book seemed more "human" in the book. A classic book with a clever concept.
