"Education is power." I bet you've heard that more than once before. But what does it mean? How is education a source of power? George Orwell's 'Animal Farm', answers that question with the uttermost perfection...

Orwell uses Animal Farm as a powerful allegory. The allegory Animal Farm refers to are the events leading up to the Stalin era, before World War II. The story is set in a gloomy, old-fashioned farm, known as the Manor Farm. The owner of Animal Farm is named Mr. Jones, a drunk, who highly neglects the animals. However, the animals fail to do anything about this matter. Until, after a change of events, do the animals see how important it is for them to conquer their independence. And that is exactly what they do. Under the leadership of three pigs, Napoleon, Snowball, and Squealer, the animals chase the humans off the farm, for good. The animals, more the pigs, then decree that from onward, all animals are equal and together they will work to achieve prosperity, of the newly renamed, Animal Farm.

However, what the animals fail to see, is what the pigs have in mind for the future of Animal Farm. And how, by using their intelligence as a source of power, they completely reestablish the farm. Possibly, turning it into something the animals never imagined...

Overall, Animal Farm is an amazingly well-written book. It is extremely unique. Something I have never seen before. The allegorical significance behind the book is just, fascinating.
Animal Farm: 8.5/10
