accessible yet complex. even a tiny amount of historical context makes it so much more interesting to examine as a text with a protest. never in my life did i think i’d feel deceived and manipulated by a pig. the dynamics between the animals are fascinating. allegorical. cruel. interesting. truly conveyed the manipulation of such a regime. i, as a reader, too felt blindsided and confused and began to doubt what i originally believed. so so so so good. mandatory reading!!!
essential reading. i think this portrays the impact of propaganda so well, and how powerful it is when it comes to control.

Una forma de describir un totalitarismo de la manera más sencilla posible. Una forma de describir la manera en que unos buenos ideales iniciales se van perdiendo y tergiversando a medida que unos pocos adquieren poder y mejores beneficios sobre los demás, al pasar el tiempo ya la sociedad no recuerda sus principios, valores o moral inicial, porque se pierden en el eco de lo que mencionan unos pocos con poder y los medios de comunicación. Me encanta la analogía de los cerdos y como al final no se logra diferenciar entre un cerdo y un tirano. Un libro para reflexionar y sin duda alguna para reflejar una dictadura.

We actually read Animal Farm as one of our books on our 8th grade reading list and many people didn't like it. I liked Animal Farm very much because it was funny, intriguing, weird at times, and over all pretty darn good.
This book is about a farm of animals in England who are being mistreated by their owners. One day the eldest pig Old Major gives them a speech on how they should be treated better, because they deserve better, and tells of a future that he sees that will soon happen.
The next day Old Major dies and the animals all decide that they will overrun the farm and take control which....you have to find out yourself so read the book :)
