Animal Farm

The novel Animal Farm is a great book in terms of politics, but this novel has exposed in me how humans and animals are alike and how people have lost their ethics and principles. This novel, in my opinion, is full of truth. Each character is represented by a political figure. Snowball, Napoleon and Squealer (pigs) are the important characters in the book and they were driven by a great vision Old Major had. They were inspired to carry out which Old Major has said. These characters firstly forced the other animals towards “Animalism” and thereafter change everything to suit them. It is said by Mr. Sujee that corrupt people become corrupt, thus, lives will become cheap. Napoleon is a tyrant and a dictator. He goes to such an extent that he takes puppies from their mother and indoctrinates these young minds into serving him as personal bodyguards. Napoleon is a greedy pig e.g. he drinks all the milk and leaves nothing for the other animals, proving the he is a heartless animal. In the end, men and pig appear to be the same of which other animals cannot differentiate. In the world today, men are looked upon as pigs who are not concerned with what they do and how it will affect society, often referred to as heartless beasts. The reading of Animal Farm has taught me how absolute power corrupts absolutely. The fact that men are becoming like pigs makes me ponder on what we are doing wrong and how we can help change people’s lives for an improved standard of living. I conclude by saying that Animal Farm is a great novel which can change ones views and which people can learn a lot from especially life lessons.
