Re: Animal Farm
They speak against the government, injustice, and the idiosyncrasies of the ruling class. The amazing thing about Animal Farm however is that the names of the animals for some reason correspond with the names of world leaders at that time. I mean a pig named Snowball? A horse named Boxer?
George Orwell was trying to pass a message across which in a very clear way that cannot be faulted and he succeeded though the government thought banning the book was the right thing to do.
That was a very bad move on their part though. I mean banning a book adds to its mystery and most books banned in the past have turned out to be well accepted by the world in general.
George Orwell though is the real deal.

I found it quite difficult as well, although I was intrigued by the underlying message. Maybe I will re-read it one of these days.

One feels like a duck, splashing around in all this wet. And when one feels like a duck, one is happy!

But it's a must-read. The book depicts animals and humans in almost the same way; like they're the same thing. And in the end, they are.
