Animal Farm

If you’re concerned about what’s going on in the world today and want no to prepare your child with awareness of evil people in power than this is the book for you! I would recommend reading it before your child, because there is a lot of opportunity for discussion. Here’s list of topics we discussed together while he read the book: 1. How good intentions can be taken advantage of 2. How greedy animals can manipulate the system 3. The importance of being educated 4. Knowing who you get your information from I don’t think my son would have been ready to tackle this book as a 10 year old. At 11. I feel he was able to grasp the harder concepts of this book and discuss them in an age appropriate manner with me

Animal Farm is a great book for children to learn about the power of language and how powerful it is when used to control and manipulate.This book was an allegorical master piece of literature,basically showing how bad dictators and their abuse of language was.

My name is Ms. Carson, I am a 7th grade Language Arts Teacher at St. Mary's Catholic School in New Mexico. We read Animal Farm daily in class that took us about a month to complete outside of the extra activities in class. This review is a combination from our class: Firstly, overall the class thinks that the read is absolute hot dog water. The reason is there was too much political content. The class was disappointed that the animals were not realistic and for the amount of propaganda, the read was not long enough and very vague. Secondly, Squealer is a pushover and that upset us because we don't like bullies. Additionally, Orwell was not very consistent with the relationships between the animals. Finally, half of the class liked it and some did not.

This is truly a masterpiece, and, if you choose to read it, you will know the basic gist of Soviet Russia and totalitarianism, both incredibly complex issues, in less than a full day! I was amazed by the sheer magnitude of the message and the many layers waiting to be unraveled. If your child wants to read this book, it's your call whether to let them or not, but be warned! If you read this book without knowing what it's about, the magic of this incredible piece will be lost! They will walk away confused and wondering what the point is. This book is not at all disturbing, especially for young children. Now, I know you're thinking, "What?", but it's true! Young children (minor spoiler) probably won't even know what the glue factory is, and the most disturbing part is that, even though this seems incredibly dystopian, it has happened in real life-several times! In conclusion, if you think your child is ready, suggest and encourage them to read this amazing masterpiece!

This book teaches a very great lesson about communism and the downfall of democarcy. The average kid below fourteen would likely have a very hard time understanding exactly what Orwell was hinting at. This book in terms of plot is very engaging and works its magic even today.

Fantastic book, old sport!! Took my mind off Daisy Buchanan for quite some time. I wish I could have read this when I was alive. I miss the feeling of holding a book in my own hands. I wish George Wilson wasn't so trigger-happy. And I would have lived on. I am sad about the awful at my funeral. Oh well, read this book old sport.

The animals of the Manor Farm lived badly. Their farmer Mr. Jones, a mean and drunken man, exploited them. One day Old Major, the pig who led the animals, called a meeting of all the animals. Old Major told them about a dream he had the previous night. He had dreamed about an old song called, 'Beasts of England', which started a resistance against the human beings. When Old Major sang the song most other animals started to join in. Everyone was very excited about rebelling. The main conflict was when they had the rebellion with Mr. Jones. When they started to attack many animals were violent and Mr. Jones and his men left running and soon Animal Farm had won the rebellion. One of the themes in the story is to work hard every day because in the story it says " I will work harder " from boxer and every day he pulls up a bolder or when the bolder falls by the other animals and he saves it by how strong he is. I like this book because it shows how nothing can bring them down. In the book it shows how, when they windmill was destroyed nothing stopped them from doing it again and so they did and they made the wall two times thicker than before and stronger. I would recommend this book to other people because it shows great messages for example it says " I will work harder" from boxer because usually when ever he doesn't have motivation to do things or to push him selves that what he says to finish or conquer things. Make sure you read a fun and great book.

This book is about some farm that was once owned by humans but then the animals from that farm took over. The central conflict is that the animals of the farm do not like the outside world. One of the central themes are that do not do animal abuse. I think this is a good book, the only thing I do not like about this book is that the book has way to much violence but all in all it is a good book. I would recommend this book to people who like violence and politics.

The book Animal Farm by George Orwell is about a farm house that has animals who want peace from humans because Mr.Jones the farmer is cruel to them.The story starts off with a boar named Old Major who had a dream where all animals lived in peace without the humans harming them.This idea of animals living in a paradise becomes the motive for three new pigs to try and make it happen
