There’s a reason why it is a classic as well as encouraged to read in class. Short yet effective story that portrays greed and power in a way many readers are able to understand.

“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

Watching all the maxims slowly change was probably the most revolting part of the book.
when napoleon stood up on his two legs I was so horrified I didn’t even know how to react
. I loved how the plot was really just a tool to explore the characters and the tensions in the farm further.
