Question 8

Overview of the book.

I find this book very interesting and fun to read. It illustrated the history and the reality of Russia and how Stalin corrupted because of his wrong decisions made. I personally recommend this book because not only is it fun to read and illustrate the reality of Stalinism and its inevitable corruption very well, but also there are many moral lessons that you can learn from simply reading this book. The author, George Orwell, had illustrated the human characters as animal characters, lowering our positions from those with power to those who obey ones that have power yet still describe the very human beings’ instinctive tendency of seeking for the freedom. Every character had surely illustrated well enough about human descriptions as well as representing the important character roles in Russian Revolution, for instance, having pride, being jealous of something better than what you have, not able to control yourself when you have the overwhelming power, so on so forth. Pigs had demonstrated jealousy, leadership, and overuse of the power inappropriately. Whereas the horses shown obedience, strength, faith and belief. This book contains characters and situations that not only happened in the Russian Revolution, although they were told in a way that they happened in animals’ lives on the Animal Farm, but also happens in our lives – everyone being equal, for example, however it is hard to accept. Anyway, I loved this novel ‘Animal Farm’ by George Orwell because it is an awesome book that is exciting, also you can learn a number of things like history of Russian Revolution and some moral lessons that you may find throughout the book.
