Animal FarmAnimal Farm by George Orwell is a classic book that I had yet to read. It is fairly short, so I thought now would be the perfect time to see what this book was about. I chose to listen to it on Audible because it was only about 4 hours long, so I would listen throughout my day and found that I was hooked right away. Animal Farm takes place in the country, and all the main characters are animals. As simple as that sounds, it grows complex rather quickly when Old Major, a persuasive pig, calls a secret meeting among the farm animals and begins to tell them that a rebellion that will inevitably take place against their farmer, Mr. Jones. As the animals begin to see their farm deteriorate, and they begin to go hungry, the rebellion begins. As their farmer and other humans are kept at bay, Animal Farm begins to form their own society, and just as any society faces obstacles so does theirs. I loved reading Animal Farm because it reflects so much of society and what happens when we forget our past and we become complacent with what we are told is true. Each animal represents a personality, and as I was reading I couldn't help but wonder which personality I fit into. If you are curious, HERE is a quiz you can take to find out! This is an essential read and can probably be used in Pre-AP middle school classes. Find a copy: Amazon Audible Barnes and Noble Better World Books Powell's
