Animal Farm

[GibsonGirl]

Well, we had a discussion on George Orwell's book, 1984, so I thought we could have one on Animal Farm.

I don't like Animal Farm as much as 1984, but it's still such an amazing novel. Always worth a read, even if you're not into political books.

If you haven't read it, but are interested, you can read it in its entirety here:

MMMM.... Snowball...

(Do not DARE take that out of context)

I haven't read this one for about 3 years. I love the book, but the representations tend to be too obvious for my tastes. Nevertheless, it is still QUITE funny and provocative.

A classic summation

Four legs good! Two legs bad! Four legs good! Two legs bad!

Four legs good! Two legs bad! Four legs good! Two legs bad!

My economics teacher always used to yell that to people who leaned back in their chairs, such that they were balancing on two of the legs.

Communism is a theme in Animal Farm right?

Indeed, Orwell knew that there was no such thing as good despotism.
