Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, is a classic story about a revolution between farm animals and their owner. The main characters Napoleon, Jessie, Bluebell, and Squealer portray a great deal of personification which includes tyranny and manipulation. It can be said that this satiric drama takes place during the Russian Revolution at Manor Farm. This story is different from other stories because it gives animals human qualities in order to get its point across. During this story one of the elders, Old Major, comes up with the idea to overthrow the owner of the farm, Mr. Jones, and create a new life for all of the animals to live in peace and equality. After the death of Old Major, Napoleon and his partner Snowball decide to carry on with Old Major's plan. Once they overthrow Mr. Jones, other complications arise. Snowball challenges Napoleon's authority and is over thrown, the common animals challenge the pigs and the whole farm works against the humans. As years pass the pigs become even more human like; they walk upright, wear clothes, and carry whips. Overall, Animal Farm is a well written satire that uses irony, exaggeration, ridicule, and a great amount of personification to allow the reader to better understand the story. This story tells the tragedies and triumphs leading to the pigs controlling the farm. Once the pigs control the farm they begin interacting with the humans and making deals. The rest of the animals continue to hope for a better future of equality. I liked this book because I thought it was an excellent and entertaining story. I would recommend this book for someone else to read and also enjoy. Altogether, I give this book a three out of four because I really enjoyed the story line.
