Animal Farm

[Chris1974100]

Another great novel by George Orwell, also very timely and a must read for all

It was required reading when I was in school and I found it fascinating. Kind of a rite of passage, really. For the first time, it got me thinking about different political systems and the effect they have on the daily lives of their citizens. I thought Orwell's use of metaphors was really cool-- Snowball was really Lenin, Napoleon was Stalin, etc... Animal Farm really changed me. I was less naive after reading it and more questioning of government-- any government.

your lucky that your school required it for you to read it

...yeah, that was back in the day when we might actually have learned something-instead of it being dumbed down so as not to offend...

Yep! It's either pablum or someone with an axe to grind these days...
